Hi

Does the screen protect film for SC interfeer with the brigthness of it?

Should that protection be used or the SC screen quality doesn't need an extra protection?

SC screen needs extra protection. Even just a film helps. Remember that the SC is your one and only device, so it pays to keep the screen pristine.

Here is one from B and H thats coming soon:

If the screen protector is clear, it should not affect the brightness of the remote controller screen. Here are a few good brands to consider based on reviews:

I tend to add screen protectors to most of my "portable" devices where they are out in the elements. But then I also got the Pgytech screen/stick protector for the SC. That way it is doubly protected when packed.

I would actually prefer a matte finish to reduce glare. I just added one to my Crosstrek's Navigation screen - matte really helps cut down the glare.

Gentlemen;
Any thoughts or concerns about the batteries being covered by the case? My controller feels warm after a couple of 20 minute flights. I like the concept and they're about $15 in black or red on Amazon.

People cover their phones and they get hot

There are other hoods available that don't cover the remote controller. For example, this one from PGYTECH:




That hood is also available here on Amazon for $3 less.

View attachment 73810

Yeah, I was originally looking at that one, but I read some reviews where the slant of the shade interferes with viewing and interacting with the top of the screen... Maybe someone has one and does not encounter those issues.

Yes, that could definitely be a problem for either of those shades depending on how you hold your remote controller.

Curious about the PGYTECH shade...looks like its installation would prohibit using the threaded holes at the bottom for lanyard attachment...is this so?

In your case if you were doing back-to-back flights you might want to let the controller rest for about 15 or 20 minutes before you start the next flight. Even the crystal skies tend to run warn

It likely won't be compatible with most (any?) lanyards. You can see how the hood attaches in these photos:

Also, are you running it in direct sunlight?

Most of the time, yes. I try to use my body's shadow, but that only works in the mornings/evenings and sometimes has me facing away from the drone. ☀

 

[Former Member]

I would either use a shade, or stand under a tree. You can also use an umbrella or a popup canopy.

 

[PAW]

Yup

Exactly. I have found mine runs a little warm, the fan kicks in, but it isn't toasty hot. I may design and knock up some kind of minature laptop cooler stand out of aluminium with external fan, battery powerpack, sell them , make millions and kick it back in the Carribean...

Sounds like a well thought out business plan...
