168mm works on my mini 5

Agreed, L168 is perfect for the iPad mini 5

I’ve tried a bunch of shades. This is the best I’ve found. Called Sun Hood. It folds up flat and super easy to put on in 3 seconds.

I also use the Sun Hood in conjunction with a Miss Chrissy adapter to accommodate the iPad Mini. The Miss Chrissy adapter tilts the iPad up at an angle that makes the setup work especially well at shading the screen from the sun. I have attached some pictures.

I'm wanting to order a hood shade for my MA2 setup using a Ipad mini 5 but I'm not sure what size to get. All the ones that I am looking at are listed as L + 3 numbers. I think that I need a size L168 but I"m not positive.

Thanks in advance.

168

The one I have shown above is an L 168 and it fits very well.

Here's a couple options. You can probably find them in different online stores. They don't attach like most do and look to be ok.
I've ordered both Sunnylife models and am waiting for delivery.

Quite easy to make a hood from foam board. Only cost $1.

That’s great! Does it collapse? How does it attach?

It lays flat and quickly attaches with two elastic bands. Check out the video I posted on page one of this thread.

Anybody ordered this from DJI? Seem like it has a lot of open space. Wonder how effective it will be.

Some shades cost a fortune and are no good. For my Mavic Mini I bought a phone/tablet holder for about £15 then made a home made shade from thick black card. Works a treat for less than £20 all in

Very nice and considerably less expensive. I had already purchased a black foam core sheet and have not yet applied knife to it. Question: How are you securing the hood to the phone/tablet? Can't make that detail out from the photo.

I use this for my IPad Air2 and it is really nice. No glare and not as clumsy as it looks. Good quality too!

Couldn't make up my mind just yet. Needed a solution that would work.

Hood shades don't work.

I was very happy with my PadHat from Hoodie Vision (iPad Mini 2 on Phantom 3P). I got the iPad exclusively for flying and had a cheap shell case I stuck on the velcro tabs directly for secure fit.
