Sun shade for the Zino controller
Does anyone have a source for a sun shade that would adapt to the Zino controller?
Re: Sun shade for the Zino controller
You don't get sunshades for the controller you get them for the phone
They make them in different sizes depending on phone screen size

Thanks. Will that DJI style shade work? The shade would be in the way of the controller
Re: Sun shade for the Zino controller
As I said it is for the phone has nothing to do with the controller. DJI or otherwise, the one I use is by PGYTECH similar to the one I posted from Amazon, but you be the judge?thesoundsmith wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 11:52 amThanks. Will that DJI style shade work?

Re: Sun shade for the Zino controller
Thanks greatly for the follow-up. I see that it works for you. Great, and I appreciate that you are comfortable with it. But I would find it clumsy to have the screen in the way of my hands on the controller. i have ordered a pair of parabolic antenna extensions, and I will try to create something that covers the whole rig. If I succeed, I'll post the setup, for now, I'll keep this in mind.
Again, thanks for the info. I am still very stupid in the world of RC, so it may take a few slaps upside the head to get it through my thick skull.
Update: I saw several folks using the shades like this, so I ordered one to try. Thanks again.

Follow-update - the shade (size 111mm) works perfectly, but the screen is too small for me to see what I need most - range and yaw data. And it feels clumsy as hell holding like that. I will be looking for a way to front-mount a larger screen.
But if you, the reader, are comfortable with this setup, the shade is good quality.
