I have a Contour action camera that I sometimes use on a suction cup mount on glass to record something out a window. (Say, the scenery outside a moving train.) To block reflections on the window glass from light inside, I'm going to make some sort of large ring that slides onto the end of the camera. I think I've seen these available commercially before. What are they called?

Here's a mockup... black is a piece of rubber or plastic that I plan to make to put on the camera. The blue is the window.

Contour Camera

I'm not sure what you would call this... it's not really a baffle. But, what is it?

    \$\begingroup\$ This is something like lens hood :) In practice lens hoods are used for the same purpose \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ I believe these are often called "skirts", but I've only made them, not bought them, so I don't know if that's an officially correct term. \$\endgroup\$

What you describe is usually referred to as a lens skirt if made from cloth or a rubber lens hood when made from - you guessed it - rubber.
