I would. Anything can happen. It's insurance. Your call.

I got a Pygtech screen and stick cover so I could put it in the FlyMore bag with the sticks attached*.

DJI RC Protector

This RC protector is specially designed to protect your DJI remote controller from damage. Made of soft rubber TPU, the RC protector is light and durable. It is easy to mount or dismount onto the controller.

It also protects the screen while in the bag, which I was unreasonably anxious about, but the main reason I got it was to leave the sticks attached.


*Because I'm old and clumsy and knew I'd drop and lose one if I kept putting them on and off with every flight. Also saves setup time.

I put one of the matte ones on my RC to cut the glare in bright sun. Works good.

That's a good idea. I'll try it. Older eyes don't handle glare as well as they used to…

It’s only a few bucks for a glass one so, why not

Same here, the matte works well for glare.

I got a matte screen protector and it works well to reduce glare but I find it makes the screen a bit darker. Especially in the sun.

I just bought a matte screen protector not really to protect the screen but to cut down on glare - I like the screen but if it is sunny it is hard to see due to the reflections

I've got one of these for the sticks as well as a screen protector:

+1 for the matte for the reasons other guys have stated above

FYI, I also bought this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHKPD724

Which I REALLY like - it allows me to keep the sticks on when I put the controller in the bag and it also does double duty as a sun shade (but the reflections are still too much, hence the matte screen protector).

I'd have got that if I'd known about it. Didn't show up when I was searching for covers last summer — and now it's unavailable…

Amazon shows that as available as of today - I only bought it a week or two ago. There are several variants that seem to be made by the same company that look identical.

I live in Cyprus where I get a lot of glare from the sun so I put a matte screen protector on and it works really well

Does that cover still allow the controller to fit into the standard bag included with the mini 3 pro fly more kit with the cover in place?

Even with the joysticks off the fit of the bare controller in the bag is a little tight.

Yes. You put the sticks on the end that is open. A picture would probably help illustrate:



I got my matte screen protector today and that helped immensely with the glare from the sun. Between the cover providing some shade and the screen protector cutting down the glare, it is a lot more visible in the sun now.

Awesome. That was exactly the info I was after.

Amazon here I come...again...(and again...and again...)

The matte screen protector is less than a millimeter thick so it makes no difference at all.

Actually I was referring to the entire cover. Not the screen protector.
