Good product!

I just received my hood, and haven't fully tested it yet, but I set it up to my tablet and Controller and went outside and it worked great, finally got rid of the glare and reflection on my tablet screen so I can see what I am doing. Its easy to set up and once attached, it is not that cumbersome - something I was concerned about. Looking forward to flying with it.

Very good fit for iPad Mini 5

I used this for my iPad Mini 5 on the Autel EVO II, DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise, DJI Phantom 3, and Skydio 2. It worked will with each of the controller without any issue. Very sturdy.

Good, but could be better.

The accessibility to my tablet while flying can be difficult. Reaching the icons on the top and sides of the screen could be easier if there were access flaps on the side.

Well built but not quite big enough

It is a very well built sunshade solution for my iPad. The straps work great and it does what it's supposed to do. However, it could stand to be just a bit bigger as it's covering some of the edges of my iPad screen even after careful adjustment.

Best hood ever

With the kit, all outside light is blocked out allowing you to get that total immersive experience. Great hood!

Wonderful product

I found it impossible to see my IPad mini unless the sun was completely covered with clouds. The hood arrived today and I installed it and walked outside into the sunshine for a tryout. My problems have been solved. You have to put your face completely into the device to block out all light to make it work the best. That means you cannot watch the drone and the screen at the same time but it makes the screen as visible to me as if I were indoors. The design is ingenious, especially the way they attach the hood addition. I could not be more pleased with this product.

Worth every penny

Finally I can see my drone screen in any weather. Just like going to the movie. No need to buy goggles.

Great quality!

High quality sunshade! Its just a little hard to reach the screen with the elastic opening. I've been planning to carve it out to be able to touch the screen and easily make adjustments without fumbling into other icons

Recommend Drone Aviator Hood with extension.

I purchased the hood and the extension to the hood. On sunny days I felt I was flying blind even with a 3 sided hood. Now I can at least see my screen, and I was surprised that the hood stays mounted and secure with 2 vertical and 1 horizontal straps that wraparound my iPad mini. Putting my hand through the provided access slot takes a little skill.

Great idea for a static monitor, Just not so good in the field.

I was real excited when I ordered this hood. I went for the whole enchilada, the hood and extension. I fly Phantom 2's FPV out to 3.5 miles and now the Phantom 3 pro and advanced. Here in Arizona the sun glare is a real pain. So much so I tried VR Goggles with Litchi. I figured the hood would give me a glare free view and I could use the touch controls on my 8" Nvidea Shield. Turns out the hood is a pain to put on with the straps (should have been velcro not sliders and the added weight made my monitor want to fold downwards. And the bottom pass thru to use touch pads is VERY STIFF, you really can only reach the bottom of the screen without really putting a lot of push to get thru. If anyone keeps theirs they'll probably remove it. And when you add the extension the added weight make your monitor fold down and you have to use your head to hold it. The concept is great but not ready for someone in the field. Is really made for a static mounted monitor like their other products are geared for. I really was looking forward to this product but after 2 20 minute flights I am sending it back. It really does make a nice picture and glare free, just not practical in the field.

Designed to enhance your outdoor viewing experience, this kit is specifically tailored for use with the iPad Mini.
