Even better, why not fly from underneath some form of shade yourself. Best of all, and no sunburn either!
Visibility, usually. I like to be out in the open where I can spin 360 degrees, see the sky all around and see what's coming from all directions !
Fair enough, but unless it is a bird, you'll usually hear it long before it becomes a problem. I find open canopies provide the best shade where I am flying out in front of myself. If necessary, you can even just temporarily step out from under it for landing or a better view.
I appreciate what you're saying, but I live in the UK, where excessive sunshine is rarely a problem ! TBH even that sunshield I bought gets far more use protecting sticks when packed away than it does make a massive difference to sunlight hitting the screen ! The old peaked baseball cap does a lovely job keeping what there is out of my eyes at the expense of restricting upwards view a tiny bit.
Same here. Even in sunnier climates, best lighting for video and photography is during the golden hour and just after sunset, where overhead sunlight is nonexistent. I rarely ever fly in the middle of the day, although commercial fliers may have to.
I too am concerned about reducing screen sensitivity as it's poor now, compared to my phone and iPad.
I’ve tried it. Seems to have reduced the sensitivity, reduces brightness too, I used it for about 4 flights and removed it.
That's been my experience as well. Marginal benefit at a great sacrifice to functionality.
