When flying my Mavic Pro on a sunny day it is very difficult to see my monitor (ipand mini). So the question is: has anyone tried to fly from inside a room and if so, how much signal loss occured?  I know this is not the smartest thing to do, but the thought occured to me anyway.

Purchase (or make) one of the cheep hoods.  Works great on sunny days

Sun hood is far better idea I can recommend these https://goo.gl/2C9aJj

Flying from inside is not recommended since you will loose some GPS and you will probably have compass problems.

I use the Favrison 7.9inch L168 Black FPV Sun Hood made for Mini 2,3,and 4. Works well in sunny locations.

I haven't thought about the possible compass problems even though I always seem to have GPS indoors.
Thanks,

My VERY EXPENSIVE HOOD

I don’t know what happened to the text on my last post? My hood is a flat rate box from the post office, I taped the flaps to form a slot at the top. Cut a slot in the side near the bottom, to slide my iPad  in.  Put a string on it to hang around my neck, look down into the slot perfect view. Use the 3 foot cord to the RC works excellent.

Here are my 50 cents I always look for some shade, if there no one, I use a foldable umbrella to shade my iPad and at the end lately, I fly from inside the car seating in the driver seat or in open trunk (kombi/jeep) where open door provides shade
Hope it helps
P.S.
I also found that photo solar glasses I wear are a Big problem - they go really dark in a sunny day while pupils are contracted due to diffuse light and I see nothing on the screen - So I purchased No photo solar glasses

It would be a fools errand to try flying while controlling your drone indoors and I include a car in that, get a hood they have really neat ones on dji.com cost very little or you could purchase a Crystalsky but that will set you back.

Check this out, I use it for winter weather, stops the wind, I haven’t seen any signal loss. Helps with the sun and folds like the landing pad. And only $23.00

Now that Is pretty cool!

We don't recommend flying from inside to outside, for your case, we suggest using an RC monitor hook for the mobile device. https://store.dji.com/product/in ... onitor-hood-tablets

I use the DJI sun hood and it does a great job shading the screens.
