Very nice set up! This is kind of what I am looking to do, because often it is hard to view the screen, especially when it is sunny out! Can you elaborate on how you did this? Is it a difficult process, or is it easy enough for someone with little to no experience with modding a RC (like myself) to do?
Thanks, and welcome to the forums! As far as my setup goes, it doesn't require any actual modification to the transmitter, so it won't void your warranty or require soldering/electronic skills. I simply added a sunshade and replaced the stock P3S mount.
Here's how I did it (however, I'm sure there are more aesthetically pleasing and effective of ways of doing the same with other materials):
The shade itself is comprised of two sheets of styrene (thin plastic sheets used for various projects, I happen to primarily use it for model railroad scratch-building)--white on the outside and black on the inside (see image below). I didn't take precise measurements for this project as I wasn't sure how well it would turn out and I didn't want to waste too much time. I simply laid a spare phone case on the styrene, traced around it, and cut the styrene to fit. I did the same with the inner portion of the shade and used some double-sided tape to hold the pieces together. I reinforced all the edges and seams with electrical tape, though duct tape or something similar would probably work just as well, if not better. The shade straps onto the phone case with some nylon strapping I happened to have lying around.
The mount is 3D printed from a model I found on Thingiverse (
DJI Phantom Controller Mount by markloane). If you do not have, or have access to, a 3D printer there are many options available to upgrade that plastic mount that don't require drilling or pulling the remote apart. After printing that mount and securing it (no screws or other hardware needed), I simply attached some GoPro hardware to it and the phone case (which I also painted to match the black and white scheme).
It turned out better than I expected (it's far from great, but it's functional and that's all I really care about), required very little work, and was completely free as I had the parts and tools needed to build it. I'm sure you could substitute the cardboard or any other lightweight and rigid material for the styrene, cover with black duct tape or spray paint and create an even better looking and functioning shade! It certainly doesn't require mechanical or electrical aptitude to scratch-build something like this.
Obviously, you could buy a new mount and shade for very reasonable prices if you shop around (some great recommendations if you search these forums). As I'm cheap, poor, and a bit of a skill collector, I prefer to make things rather than buy them. If you need any other advice or help feel free to PM me.
