Using my Hoozo Tablet or my Samsung S10e, I struggle to be able to get a clean picture of what my Anafi is seeing, and thus, exactly where I am. I have tried the typical 4-sided sun shade, a Monitor Sun Hood Sun Shade ( ), but I would like a better solution. I have ordered the Hoodman Aviator HAV2KIT Sunshade Hood Base Plus Extender ( ), and am looking forward to trying it. This post is curious to hear from those finding good solutions, including those VR or FPV devices that are good solutions for the Anafi. Thanks, CW

After building my own sunshade out of cardboard and painting it black, I found it so cumbersome and so likely to pop the phone out of the controller that I just found a piece of black fabric like an old photographers hood and now use that. Of course, if I want to look for the drone, I have to lift it up. I use a baseball cap loosened up so I can fit the cloth under it and it works pretty well. I just flip it up over the ball cap when I need to look, usually at take-off and landing.

I purchased different sun hoods for my phone and tablet and not one of them is working properly...tried at least 4-5 sun hoods....last weeki found original parrot phone -tablet holder for 35 bucks on ebay and ordered new sun hood for my phone(Amazon.com: Flycoo2 Smartphone Monitor Sun Hood 5.5 inch Cellphone Sunshade Cover for DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ Version 2.0 Drone Remote Controller: Toys & Games ) and again it is not working the way it should,even if press my face against sun hood there is still to much reflection on sunny day to see anything,so i decided to fix that problem once for all...last year i purchased cordless tire pump from christmas tree shop for 15 bucks,pump came in a soft bag but not soft enough to fold on its own,,,...ended up sliding bag over sun hood and cutting bottom of the bag,got that perfect telescopic shape ,problem solved...i am using long capacitive pen to make changes in freeflight 6,( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EOHTPMO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
