The most difficult part of flying

[kevfra]

Is seeing my darn screen! I have tried my Samsung Galaxy 8+ and my eight inch Android tablet. Both function perfectly but I just can't see the screens. I live in Yuma, Arizona which the record books say is the sunniest place on Earth, and there is no such thing as a shady day. I need something super bright!

Any suggestions as to the brightest 'device' I can buy to help with this?

Thanks to all

Sounds like you need a hood for the tablet and they are really low priced... see Amazon.com for them...Plus a really s i m p l e deal is to wear a dark shirt...That might be tuff to do in the summers heat where you live.
My Samsung tab has a " outdoor " mode for the brightness and that helps with the use of the hood ! ....check to see if you have that option on your tablet...Good Luck Kevfra * And Welcome to the best drone forum on the net !

Look into the "hoodman" kit. It's a sun shade with an optional extender you stick your face into. Works great. In the meantime, wear a hat and dark clothing. Also try setting your tablet to auto adjust for screen brightness.

Lastly, the DJI Crsystal Sky is designed for use in bright sunlight, but expensive.

I have had the same problem until I bought a matt screen saver off eBay for my iPad. Has helped massively and much less cumbersome that the hood I tried. Cheap too! [emoji1305]

Just for the record the Pro 4 plus with built-in screen is not a crystal sky. It is just a very bright monitor. You can check with DGI and they will tell you this as I did. Just fyi.

Crystal Sky on my p4p and my p4p+ came with a monitor... both excellent
!

Even my P4P+ built in monitor at it's highest brightness setting will get washed out on a sunny day. I did buy the Velcro fastened sun shade for it but it's a pain in the butt to see with sometimes. I always fly in line of sight and usually am looking at the bird anyway. The time I need top see the monitor is mostly for the video settings and to make sure I'm recording and not on pause. I really like ianzone's umbrella hat idea and I'm way past the point of giving a care what it might look like.

If you Buy a Crystal sky....you might be having "Ramien Noodles" for quite a while ! 3 times a day in fact ....gee it might be worth it to see the screen in direct sunlight !

ianzones umbrella deal....would really work best IF it was attached right over the tablet...not the head !

 

[Cavepig7]

You got that right!

...hoodman is THE way to go for sure - I fly in california and the sun is brutal for viewing your screen outdoors - only way to combat is to eliminate all reflections - hoodman is only design available that completely accomplishes this! cheers!
