I ordered this one before the official one released! I think this one may work better as a shield in direct sunlight!

Agreed, I opted for this one too.

I'd imagine the shade would be effective at reducing glare but as for protection I think the gimbal plastic is fairly thin and flimsy. On impact I have no doubt it will break instantly with only hoping that the plastic cuts the impact momentum.Has anyone used any of these sunshades/hoods to comment on their effectiveness?
I ordered it and received it but have not flown with it yet. I'll let you know how it works.

That's what I'm talking about I have the dji remote controller monitor hood
That is the the one I want. Can't find one anywhere that fits a iPad mini.

DJI's design looks awful. If I was happy using my phone I would use the one made by aerialdroneaccessories.com found here: DJI Mavic Sunshade
But I'd rather fly with a tablet so ordered the mavmount and the hi-aerial hood with boost.
That one is available now, but I've found that 3 sided hoods just don't quite cut it. It seems like anyone that's used a hoodman with extension or the hi-ariel hood with boost will tell you that's the very best way to block out light. Now, if I had to keep a light load and use my iPhone I think that mount I posted above from aerial drone acc. looks great and I might consider it for vacations and such.I just acquired this one frome Aerial Drone Accessories too and it is fantastic. I note on their website they are about to come out with something similar for the iPad Mini. The reason this one works so well is that the phone sits "below" the controller level and it enable access to the iPhone home button which virtually every other mount/shade blocks. It sacrifices the default lightning connector but that is no loss. I use a short (6") cable to the USB port which is very close by. Hint: Insert the USB cable before installing the mount as the mount ends up blocking the USB port on the bottom of the controller.

lol yes, technically every time you look down at your controller you are breaking line of sight even without a hood. You must have spoke with someone that doesn't understand the product. The hoodman or hi-aerial doesn't break the law. No one if forcing you to rest your head on the hood. You can look up at the drone or down at the controller the same as without the hood. It just blocks sun/glare. It does not interfere with line of sight.I agree the Hoodman looks like a very nice option but unfortunately it's not an option here in Canada because it does not comply with Transport Canada's "line of sight" requirements.
