How did you get round the problem of seeing the screen in sunlight? The ads for them give me the impression that they remain easy to see but I find that it darkens to the point where I can only see my own reflection. Much like a smart phone screen under the same conditions. I would be interested to read your views on this irritating problem. Although, I am aware that you have to rely on ones eyes and not the electronic screen. But I want to be able to see my details on it at least?

I agree it is sometimes difficult to see the screen in bright sunlight but Iāve never had it ādarkenā on me. I simply try to stand in some form of shade. / Ian

I have a screen protector that hinges into a sunshade, which does help to reduce the glare, plus it means I can store the controller without having to remove the sticks every timeā¦
Works for meā¦ Like this one

I tend to try to stand in the shade of a tree if itās bad, but often just lifting it up a bit changes the angle so thereās less glare. I keep meaning to get an anti-glare screen protector, but never quite get round to it.

Was out on the beach yesterday morning, I thought it was dull and would easily be able to see screen, alas not, about the only thing I could make out was the compass. I was trying to use active track to follow misus & daughter dog walking but couldnāt see screen well enough even with a sunshade (fptovsky). Certainly a bugger trying to compose photoās.

My thoughts exactly I just want to be able to compose my photos. I also have a tint in my glasses that darkens them. I am thinking it might have had a contribution from them against my controller screen?
I shall look that device up. When I bought my mini 4 combo there was a screen protector in the bundle but that was not for anti glare purposes.
Interesting I shall accept all advice gracefully and gratefully. Thank you.

Thank you. By the way I love your videos. I shall take a look at this device. It gets a bit frustrating trying to line a shot up. Mastering my wee drone is bad enough but I am trying my best to upgrade on my photography too. Ah well! Must develop patience as well it seems lol.

Thanks for the link but I have gone for the anti glare shield that forms a case.
Thanks to all who submitted their ideas and links to the products. I think I mentioned in another post that I did get a screen protector in the flight bundle but it didnāt say specifically anti- glare. Whenever I used my iphone there was something similar happening and I had used the finding shade or resorting to a hand over the screen. So it seemed to follow that it would affect the controller screen too.
yep - the iphone screen dims in sunlight to reduce energy (which creates heat) to stop components blowing up!
Paul,
May seem a silly question, but have you got brightness setting on 100% ,when very bright outside
?

May sound like a daft observation, but could just be the auto-exposure ādoing itās thingā ? Had my Mini3Pro out recently, checking out some nearby forestry logging. When the gimbal was was swivelled upwards to include more sky, ground features significantly darkened - and vice versa - just a thought ?
