    Best Cell Phone for use in Sunshine

    I know you are trying to be helpful but my whole point was to be able to avoid the sunshade for certain trips. So to let y'all know the driver behind my question in the first place. In April I am going fishing in the Seychelles. We are fishing a way out there atoll that requires a charter...

    Best Cell Phone for use in Sunshine

    There are 108 PAGES in that thread. I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S9+. It has more that twice the NITS rating of the Wunderphone and is by the reviews I read an excellent phone. So no Wunderphone for me.

    Now that was the type of input I was looking for.

    Best Cell Phone for use in Sunshine

    That is an option but what concerns me, as I posted above, is that there were a ton of posts in that thread about using a sun shade. A wonderphone with a sunshade is no better than using the K1 I already have. And in fact according to the test specs the Samsung 8 and 9 both have better NITS...

    Best Cell Phone for use in Sunshine

    I have a dedicated tablet that works fine, except I would like to not have to use a sunshade. I don't want to fork out the big bucks for a CrystalSky when I need a new phone anyway. So I was trying to determine if a new cell phone would be a possible solution. Sounds like a Samsung 8 or 9 would...

    Best Cell Phone for use in Sunshine

    Well I read a bunch of pages in the Wudnerphone thread. What I found was a lot of ideas on sunshades which tells me its not what I want. I have a dedicated table (K1) so only interested in a cell phone (since I need a new one anyway) that can be used most of the time without a sunshade. Perhaps...

    Best Cell Phone for use in Sunshine

    So looking at a Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+. According to this they have a really good brightness rating. But they don't show a test for the S9 just the S9+. I would prefer the S9 since its a bit smaller and I don't care about the extra camera. Anybody know if my assumption that the S9 would have the...

    Best Cell Phone for use in Sunshine

    Posted this in the Mavic section but might get more response in here. I just got a Mavic Pro and plan to use my Nvidia Shield K1 tablet for the controller. However, my cell phone just died so need a new phone. Is there a good cell phone that anybody can recommend that you can actually use in...

    The Arris Raptor landing skids for M2P and M2Z are available now! (Great for hand landing)

    Ok for sure. I just did that the first time since I was in the house and had it handy.

    The Arris Raptor landing skids for M2P and M2Z are available now! (Great for hand landing)

    Well an update. I got the brace off by just wiggling it back and forth and pulling downward. I then put some PAM spray on the drone leg and slid the brace back on. I used the same process....wiggled it back and forth as I slid it on.It went on easier (not easy) and further up the leg. Its up far...

    The Arris Raptor landing skids for M2P and M2Z are available now! (Great for hand landing)

    So I just got my set of arris skids and pontoon flotation pods. One side went on easy. The other side the skid is so tight I can't even get it on all the way (although with the pontoons on it still sits very level). But now I am afraid to try and take it off. Its tight and I mean really tight...
