Phone sun screens

Are phone sunscreens any help? Even with the brightness up full, I find seeing my screen really difficult. What do you all think?

A sun shade that surrounds screen from all 4 sides and has a depth of at least 4 inches makes a HUGE difference.

If you can stand in the shade that helps too (but not always an option).

Not being able to see your screen is a major safety issue even when constant VLOS. Hard to get decent video if you can't frame your subject as well

The only time I can get away without a shade is a.m. and p.m. "golden hours".

And remember...

If you are gonna use a sunscreen on your device... always choose SPF30 or stronger. You wouldn't want to get burned!

I use a 3-side sun hood and for me it was one of the most important accessories for my spark. When you are on a field with no shadows the little hood improves the readability of your screen a lot. Got mine for under 10€ from Amazon. This kind fits also when you use your phone on the "intended" place

I did begin with a 3M anti-glare shield and, after
an advice on our forum, get a sunshade.
Big improve. The sunshade is a must.
I then removed the anti-glare, did a couple of flights,
but the iPad is a like a mirror. So reinstall an anti-glare. I use both...

That's also my setup and it's great!

This is about the only Spark accessory that I don't own. Definitely going to get one. As for IMHO on the most important accessory - landing legs !

Yeah - I agree. I have the springy landing legs and like them. I wish I could find a deeper case so the Spark would fit with the legs attached...

Made my own 3-sided screen and it works quite well! Took cardboard and cut 3 pieces, one for the back and two sides, slightly smaller (about 1mm) than they should be. Then laminated them with a 2mm gap in between and cut them out along the outside. The lamination creates a nice hinge when folding in three.
On the inside, I stuck black velvet and velcro strips on the outside to strap to the handcontroller.
Works great!

Hello from the Hoosier heartland, lifeisfun.

If you want the best results, get a sun hood, preferably a 4 sided one.

I have a screen cover on my mini 4 but the hood is the way to go.

It blocks the light from all sides so you can see the screen.
