Now that it's getting brighter and hotter for spring and summer, I'm looking for recommendations or suggestions for a hood or cover for my mobile device which in this case my iPhone 11. It would be great if it also works for tablets too (iPad air 3rd gen) but for now small mobile devices are the priority.  Also I'm using my iPhone with the standard remote controller (no SC in this case).

Bought my Air2 back in Nov/Dec which was great as I didn't need the shade to see my display. Now we're in spring and its getting hard to fly even under some shade of trees or buildings since the sun is getting brighter!

You can find a lot on Amazon and eBay in various sizes. They are mostly the same in effect. Or you can even make you own to fit using black cardboard.

Hello there RobZilla. Good day and thank you for these information you have given. You may try checking the DJI RC-N1 Remote Controller Monitor Hood ( https://store.dji.com/product/ma ... roller-monitor-hood ) found on the DJI online store as well. The DJI RC-N1 Remote Controller Monitor Hood protects the smartphone screen in strong lighting conditions, reduces glare, and provides a clear image. Thank you.

Thanks GaryDoug. Saw a few on there and was curious what others liked or didn't like. Found a cheap one for $12 so I can always move on if this one doesn't work out. The DJI version is just a bit more but shipping and availability is not ideal (4 weeks?) vs the 3rd party in days.

I have a recommend to avoid...

I got this thing, and it was pretty much a waste of money. Doesn't provide very much shade and the rubber band mounting method they have is incredibly frustrating, and is constantly slipping off. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XNM6VN4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks @jdelamater! I saw that in my search list and read a few reviews about that issue, so passed on it.

Went with the magnetic adhesion product...

Here is what I use. I had to jerry rig it a little to fit my phone. It may work for you. Great sun blockage. Link to purchase below.
