If I may suggest, you are thinking about the question wrong. Brightness doesn't matter, angle of reflection against a dark background is all you need, as discussed in this post: Building a better screen sunshade using physics and reflection (and it's free). Building a better screen sunshade...

Absolutely mesmerizing flocking behavior. Thanks for sharing!

I realize this wasn't the intent of your original post, but You mentioned you can't use your phone to do it because of screen glare, even with a hood. Odds are it is because your hood is doing it wrong. Here is a simple way to solve that problem so you could see the screen well enough to active...

Check out Hangar360 in the App Store. Does everything for you.

As others have said, State Farm has a drone policy. I have it. $60 a year and peace of mind in case of theft, crash, or fly away.

That sucks... But sorry, I chuckled at that video. A nice smooth serine pull back and then... Whoops! Drone bloopers crack me up. And I've had my share. Good luck with the dry-off!

By the way, I'm in wisconsin. Haven't had any troubles flying in the cold weather, though I haven't tried below 0 degrees F. Even crashed my old phantom 3s, lost it in a golf course where it sat out in a snowstorm for 3 days when I found it and it turned back on and flew no problem. Dji makes...

I fly from inside my car nearly year round. In the summer it is nice to have the a/c, be bug free, and the sun off the screen. In the winter, a warm car is nice. No range problems, plus I can be less visible as I fly so fewer pedestrian looky-Loos bugging me. As others have pointed out-...

I ended up printing a similar version from this on 3dHub (like air-b&b for people near you with 3D printers). Cost me $5. They work wonderful. I like them better than MavMount for my needs as they are super light. I just put some padded tape on the Inside so there was some padding between...

Do I need the latest firmware to use the new quiet props? I'm currently running .400 on an original Mavic Pro. I know ESC doesn't apply to the original version but wasn't sure if other flight dynamics were different enough that firmware update was necessary.

Op here- I did end up building a shade using this shape out of some poster board I found that was white on one side and black on the other. Then used some elastic to secure it easily to the iPad. Works great, seems pretty durable, and doesn't look like... Well... A cereal box. Anyway, hope...

Yes. Many have room for it "flat" but I found one big enough to allow the iPad mini 4 to remain mounted in the remote without having to be removed. Details in the post here : my rapid development case

There is a thread already about how to build a simple shade better than Hoodman. I use it, works perfectly to stop the sun glare: Building a better screen sunshade using physics and reflection (and it's free). Building a better screen sunshade using physics and reflection (and it's free).

Check out this thread with a million suggestions for you. Show me your bag/case! Show me your bag/case! I'd suggest getting the Eva slim cases for the remote and mavic, and then you can throw them in any regular backpack you find to meet your normal hiking needs.

So i finally made a custom case to fit my needs: rapid deployment Most of the time I am going to a location and want to launch fast and pack up fast, minimizing the time bystanders get inquisitive and bug me on what I'm doing. Unfolding the remote, installing the iPad mount and iPad mini etc...
