What are your must have accessories?

I have been searching for a nice sun hood for my P4P w/iPad Air 2 setup. Issue I've seen is all of them look cheap, look like just cardboard and your expected to pay $15-30usd for just cardboard....

What's the best Sun Hood that you have bought and tried?

Any accessories to stay away from?? Not worth the money?

Any accessories that are a must have?


Thanks for reading, look forward to your response. Q

I use the DJI sun hood for iPad size displays.  It works well, but has to be modified a bit for android devices.  I have a smaller one from Amazon for iPhone that is all black.

I recently got a small plastic part...for $5 on eBay...that keeps the antennas exactly parallel at all times.

I got a low cost pair of compact binoculars for longer flights where you need to see better.

I think the DJI sunshade is for iPad Mini only (Size: 205 × 145 × 128 mm), not for bigger tablets,  I got a nice one for the iPad Air sized tablet, don't remember the brand but it has an array of tiny suction cups in the bottom. got it from Dronevolt Scandinavia .

Yes, its originally for iPad Mini size.  Many Android tablets are almost identical in size and also fit well with minor mods.

Try the pgytech one. Quality is good and it just cover the screen so the light senor with still work to ensure full brightness of the screen. Easy to intall, can install before or after the iPad is on the controller, easy to take it off.
