Can DJI's hood for CrystalSky be mounted to where Top is at bottom and Bottom is at top for use with DJI's quick release mount?

Can DJI's hood be 180ed on CrystalSky?

Going to find out real soon.  

Will report back.

I tried to mount it upside down and it does not work.  You must mount it as shown in the picture for it to work.

That's bad news.    Nothing against your reply.

Cause I ordered the cover to try, and it came in yesterday.  Planning to try cover on CS when I got back.
I can't put cover on as shown in picture, because of how DJI's mount works.  The CS has to be rotated 180-degrees (bottom Up) for DJI's mount to connect into bottom of DJI's R.C.


Wouldn't need cover if DJI's CrystalSky could take direct sunlight and warm temps.  Could take the Heat

Was able to rotate CrystalSky's Hood to where Top is Down and Bottom is Up.  Have to take Quick mount bracket off CrystalSky, install Hood, then bolt Quick mount bracket back on CrystalSky.
With Hood flipped, the CrystalSky's Light Sensor is covered, thus no Auto Brightness.

After flying several times with Hood on CrsytalSky, it's out of there.
Hood gets anyway when holding and controlling Joysticks.
Hood makes it hard to use Touch screen near top and sides, and very hard to touch corner buttons.

I only use my hood as a screen protector when it's in my case.

I have a plastic cover to protect screen when being carried.  
Got DJI folding hood because of DJI's suggestion to protect screen from direct sunlight due to CrystalSky having  problems being used outside.
