    Mavic 3 bag

    Within a shoot? You mean once your drone is airborne you only do one shot? Not me. I'll shoot several manual maneuvers and then oftentimes several intelligent flight modes, all within 10-15mins... and that means hand access to the screen. It's quite often possible to fly without a...

    Mavic 3 bag

    Well, there are only so many buttons you can customize and so any configuration is going to means losing something. Besides the obvious camera settings, the intelligent flight modes require screen usage. I regularly use three of them ActiveTrack, Spotlight, & Point of Interest to frame my...

    Mavic 3 bag

    I guess it depends what you mean by "sunshade problem" because the need to acknowledge warnings is only part of what the screen is used for. For me, it would makes dealing with warnings easier but wouldn't remove the need to access the screen.

    Best Backpack Ever?

    Glad it works for you but I tried a number of similar sunshades before starting on my own. Initially, my own were just encompassing in ever increasing measures. In fairness, many of them were okay in ever increasing bright light but they all failed in direct bright sunlight, and since I can...

    Best Backpack Ever?

    Err.. I have a Mini Pro with RC controller and in bright sunlight there isn't a chance of being able to see the important text on the screen. The nit on the RC controller is good at 700 but it's nowhere near the 1,000 nits of the pro controller and even that's a struggle in the brightest sun...

    Mavic 3 bag

    I totally get you. The choice for sunshades is either one that gives you full access and poor screen cover or good screen cover and limited screen access. However, in travelling the world I've found that oftentimes you have limited time to drone (quick deployment being essential then), and...

    Best Backpack Ever?

    I guess no solution is going to work for everyone. If the DroneGuard works for you, it's brilliant but for me, it's not close to a solution and here's why..... The idea of lugging all that stuff, sounds horrific to me no matter how comfortable and $300+, ouch! I never plan to fly in full sun...

    Mini 3 Pro Backpack Case

    Great backpack but not for me. 1) Takes to long to get drone out and set up 2) No built in sunshade 3) No built in optics 4) Too bulk to pack when empty. 5) $200??????????????????

    Mavic 3 bag

    I can't be alone in the drone frustration I have. In simple terms I take my drone on holiday/travelling and then want to take on a walk, car journey, etc. to whip out when the opportunity arrives. The basic problems are Deploying the drone is a pain…Every method of carrying a drone means a...

    Mini 3 Pro - Sunshade for RCN1

    Looking to make a custom cardboard sunshade for Mini Pro 3.... but need the small cardboard tray the drone and receiver (RCN1) came in for templating. When I'm done I'll post a video on the results which I hope will mean i) quick deployment ii) built in optics (glasses) iii) fold flat for...

    Mavic mini sun shade

    That's so similar to my tenth attempt and much better than anything you can buy! For me though, light leakage was still a problem in brilliant sun (which was most times I wanted to film)...even with anti-glare protector.... hence eye hole cut outs and then the need for nose cut out! In...

    Mavic mini sun shade

    I bought several different kinds of sunshade and frankly, some are better than others but in bright sunlight they are all rubbish! No matter how you try to shield the sunlight, they all get reflection. Don't get me wrong you can still sort of see the screen but you have absolutely no...
