Very Bright Displays for DJI Drones

[jmreim11]

Seems like I'm always in the sun when flying, especially when near water. That can wash out most displays and make them pretty difficult to see. I've been looking into larger/brighter displays than DJI's RC2 controller, which is apparently about 700 nits (most android and iOS devices appear to be 500-700 nits with some approaching 1000). Brighter displays can be very pricey but I've recently been pointed toward the HugeRock X7 (7") which claims to be very rugged and have a brightness of 2600 nits for $499 (sounds crazy). Never heard of HugeRock which is a concern but curious to know if others have any experience with these tablets for flight. Any others I should be considering?

I use the Tripltek 8" pro. 1000 nit, works with every drone I own. Downside is the one I have is an older version of Android but it all still works perfectly.

Agreed, I have faith in the Tripltek tables (I have the Mini and the 9 pro) and I wouldn't worry about the nits, the Tripltek products are plenty bright enough.

My only complaint it the lack of accessories for it for other uses. I also use mine for off-road navigation in my Jeep and on my quad. Never had an issue with anything else. Could be cheaper but it is worth it if it fits your needs

I think these have been around long enough to find them at good prices used. At this point in their life, I wouldn't buy one new so I'm thinking around half price. Yes, they only have a few mounts on their accessory page.

Instead of looking for a brighter display at great expense, the most practical solution to your problem is simply an RC 2 screen shade, or flying from underneath shade, such as a large umbrella, or even a dorky, but mobile and efficient $6 umbrella hat.
