Not sure about magnet and signal interference so I’m trusting your expertise that you’ve tested this against said issues. Ordered today even though it’s bright fog this month it’s the same issue glare. Thanks Rick
Have got the DJI one specifically for this controller. If you look at the phone holder/antenna it has a slot either side ready for a hood to slide on! Not cheap but works perfectly. I'm very happy with it.
Hi Rick. Just received the sunshade and tried. What a good product. I'm very happy with it. Easy to install, good material, blocks the sun perfectly. I was looking for something like this for a long time and tried some but this is awesome!!!
Great to hear! I love mine and am really happy with the design of this one. It's does the job and folds up nice and flat for packing. We appreciate your support and hope you have a great summer of flying! Rick
Recently received the sun shade from DroneValley. GREAT! Easy to install, once I figured it out. The antenna is behind the sunshade and engages the monitor from the opening at the top. A simple instruction diagram would have been nice. A VERY useful accessory for the Mavic Air 2. Great value! And it fits inside the Fly More case pocket perfectly. I use a iPhone 7 with 1/2" to spare each side for wider phones. Ive a Otterbox protector, and it still gets a good grip on the iPhone.
Just received my sun shade and lanyard for my MA2 from you yesterday afternoon. They look to be great quality and you shipped them out almost instantly. Looking forward to trying them out today. Thanks for the great info and service!
There won't be any problems. Plenty of cell phone mounts out there with much stronger magnets that do not affect the phone. Magnets vs computers really is a problem for hard drives with magnetic readers, and it takes a pretty powerful magnet.
Thank You for recommendation. I received it a few days ago & love it, works just as you said. It fits in the MA2 bag. It’s a perfect size. It does take seconds to install & remove. Perfect for sunny days. Once again Thank You
I like the fact that you are always finding things to help improve the experience of flying our drones or things that just make life a little easier or better whether it has to do with drones or not. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the post but the magnets are far enough away from the controller and phone to not have any affect on the transmission or the compass. We've tested these extensively and have sold them for over 2 years without issue so no worries. I appreciate you stopping by and hope you'll stay tuned for more content we'll be posting this week.
Nobody has these anymore. I got the DJI one, which isn't actually bad, but then it won't let me mount the YAGI range extender when its on. Hope someone comes out with something good......
Thank you so much 😀 I have a lot of fun flying and am pretty passionate about the hobby. Be sure to hit the subscribe button so you can get in on the drone giveaways we'll be starting next week in our "Summer of Drones". Rick
Rick thank you for the video. I have some questions about the magnets. Would it be risky to be that close to magnets with your drone? Is it possible to create a compass interference with them?
I have just purchased a magnetic folding sunshade 4 my mavic air 2 , do the magnets interfere with the transmission (wifi) between the controller and drone with distance ? Regards Neil .
Awesome sunshade. Just won a Air 2 a few days ago. Then today seen you video notifications popped up. I'll definetly buy the sunshade of your affiliate link. Thank you for showing us this.
You're going to love the Mavic Air 2 and this Sun Hood will help you see the screen a little better. I appreciate the support and hope you'll stop back soon. Rick
Hi Rick. Just bought the air 2 fly more combo (first drone) and enjoying the heck out of it. Your site looks great and I look forward to more video's. Subscribed and have 1 question. I use the samsung note 9 currently and it has a 6.4" screen. I am looking for a controller sun hood and saw the magnetic hood but it says up to 5.5" phones. Is there another sun hood you could recommend ?
Loren, thanks for the post and I did see the DJI version and I haven't tried it out yet since it was just released. I think the one I reviewed here might provide a little more sun coverage with it being a tighter box and it's almost half the price of the DJI version. The one we're offering also works on the EVO 2 in case you're flying one of those. Thanks for stopping by and I really appreciate your support. Rick
Rick Britton, Great product, I wish I had a mavic air 2, maybe some day, Thank you for testing and finding the best usable products, I will always check Drone Valley website first for products before I purchase, Rick I almost added the new Tablet holder for the Evo 11 6k ,I'm still waiting for. The big problem I have I can't afford a crystal sky controller and I don't own a tablet, turning 61 years old in 5 day's, I need to do something, my note 9 Samsung is a good phone, but you are totally right it's not good for the phone, paying a 1000 for it and then over heating it (not good) ,So Thank you so much ,for always making the Drone Hobby experience exciting. DRONE VALLEY, Web site for products, is far more supperure than ordering from Amazon, Sincerely Rick from Mo and God bless you and your family
Thanks for the great information. I have been wanting to purchase one of these but could not decide which would fit best. Just ordered one from your store.
@@cameltoeinspector6015 The hood is in the mail and I haven't received my Air2 as of yet. It has been shipped, so they say. Once I try out the hood I will let you know ans I will be honest. I fly in Florida where it is as bright as in L.A.
Any idea when this might be available again? I was really excited to get this but out of stock everywhere. Also, what was your 2nd favorite sun hood for Mavic Air 2? Thanks!
Aloha Rick, can you suggest a sun cover for the Mavic Mini controller? I use a iPhone pro (full screen) when flying and haven’t found anything to fit on the cell phone without losing partial screen or made to fit on the controller. Mahalo!
Hey Rick, hope you are doing good. Kindly tell me how i install dji fly app in my crystalsky.....bought both mini and crystalsky just recently now i cant fly using the screen. Kindly HELP
Rick, have you had or heard of iPhones overheating with the DJI Fly app? I’m wondering if a good like this would help or if there’s a different issue there. I have tried using it on airplane mode with all other apps closed, but at some point my iPhone 11 Pro overheats and dims down. At some point it will shut off and give me the little thermometer warning. Any thoughts or suggestions?
@@clintreinfried4382 No issues with the magnets. It works perfectly. I use it on most fligjts, and have never had a single problem. You can put your mind at ease and order one. It's a good buy.
@@cameltoeinspector6015 it's a great product. No magnetic issues at all. Sorry I didn't see this before. If tou haven't purchased, I would highly recommend.
I will order from you. Still waiting for my last order weeks ago. You shipped it very fast but USPS has no planes going to Australia. Darn c***9. Love the show.
Thanks for the post and I'm really sorry for the shipping issues with Australia. The limited flights make some international destinations hard to reach right now but we do our best to get it there as quickly as we can. I might just have to load up a suitcase full of gear and head down to Australia for a week to deliver some of these accessories and do a little flying. I'm also really enjoying your Australian wines this summer! Rick
@@Dronevalley Shipping is NOT your issue it is world wide. I ordered 2 of the sun shields because of the distance between us. Well you are always welcome in Bundaberg QLD Aust. I have purchased from you for years, way back when the DJI Ph 4 was new. Your channel always makes me smile. The Air 2 is just a great Drone. Speaking of Australian Wine, I believe it is "Happy Hour" as we say down under. Cheers to you Rick.
Rick, One question off the subject. I just bought a new DJI Mavic Air 2 and I have not set it up yet but I would like to know how to make sure I have all the current updates for my drone. Would you please tell me the best way to go about that? I appreciate it in advance. Mike
Mike, just follow your set up guide and it has you run thru the entire process. Preflight gives you the option to check for updates and would recommend you take the time to do this every time. It only takes a few seconds to check. Cheers and good flying !
Hello Rick, Like your videos and I’m interested in the sun visor for the new DJI Mavic Air 2. I would like to know if it comes that fits a Apple I-pad mini 5? Thanks and keep producing your great videos.
Frank, you could widen the slot at the top to accommodate the controller for the Anafi and it would work OK. The slot is smaller and designed to fit the Mavic Air 2 specifically but I also use it on my EVO 2 and other DJI drones where I'm using a tablet adapter. Thanks for the post and I hope you'll subscribe to channel so you don't miss anything. Rick
I'm having a great summer and hope that you and your family are doing well. It's great to see you stopping by and I hope you're getting a lot of airtime in with the warm weather.
Well, after getting so frustrated at the lack of info included with a Skyreat sun hood, I decided to order one of these and a strobe from your company. The Skyreat is a pain to install IMO and with absolutely zero instructions and ONE TH-cam video review I saw which wasn't much help, it's going back. Subscribing to your channel as well.
Thanks for the post and your business. I saw the order arrive and will have them both on their way to you on Monday. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you enjoy them. Thanks, Rick
@@Dronevalley Whoa! Now THAT'S customer service! 😀 It'll take a bit to get here, but it'll be worth the wait. I'm absolutely loving my Mini 2 so far even though I'm still getting the hang of things
It's just wide enough to fit an iPad mini but you'll need an extension bracket or tablet holder to get it to work. Thanks for the post and be sure to stop back soon. Rick
Thanks for the note and we just had an order arrive yesterday and updated the listing on Amazon. Feel free to place your order and it'll be on the way to you in the morning. Thanks for your support! Rick
@@BennetMathew Amazon takes a few minutes for the update so if you check back it should show as available. Sorry for the confusion, I just missed doing the stock level updates because I was out flying :) I hope you are as well. Rick
I am using the RC GearPro Foldable bracket I bought on Amazon to raise and angle the phone on the Mavic Air 2 controller. Will this sun hood work with it?
Bruce, it looks like it will fit that bracket and you might just have to widen the lot at the top but it looks like it will fit fine. Thanks for the support! Rick
Karl, I use it with my iPad mini 4 /5 and it works fine but it's a tight fit. You'll have to run the cable up inside of the cover to the iPad but you can make it work.
I want to know about the DJI hood they sell. If I buy one it will be that one and don't see anything on it. I'll have to do a review on it. Yeah I will stay away from magnets it messes with your compass on your phones no bueno to me. Thanks though.
Thanks for the post and I tested the DJI hood as part of our review. I found it tricky to assemble and a little top-heavy. We chose the one we offer because it folded smaller, had magnetic clasps and mounted quickly to the phone/tablet in the holder. I try to only do positive reviews on the channel with products I like and am not a fan of bashing gear that I don't use regularly.
Yes, the hood is designed to work with the Yagi Uda range extender installed so you can use them together if you like. We have plenty of both in stock and can ship them out today for you. Thanks, Rick
I use a Samsung Tablet S3 due to poor eyes, mounted on a PGYTECH mount with a strong retention spring. I would like to get a set of Yagi Uda's, the link to Amazon led to your subset, but a different "Amazon Choice" Yagi Uda antenna?
I'm not sure why that product is coming up, but that's Amazon for you. Here's a link to our product - amzn.to/3cJVGQO. Thanks again for your support! Rick
Peter, we stock these and have them available on our website here - tinyurl.com/y3oydh8e. We provide free shipping and can have one out to you today. Thanks for your support! Rick
I have found that lately when I go to fly my mavic mini is starting to mess up real bad I have my Mavic Mini and my Mavic Air 2 on my tablet and both of my drones now having problems and I've never had problems before they put the Mavic air 2 on to the fly app. Before when it was just a Maverick Mini I had goreat video and I had great contact with the Maverick Minnie and everything else is up for you know the regular Wi-Fi. But now I fly something like 50 feet away from me and the screen goes blank or gets choppy. And the Mavic Air 2 video transmit stutter, is anybody else having the same problem
Thanks for the post and all of the hoods we've tested are only "marginally" useful since the sunshine is everywhere. The only one we found to be 100% effective was the Hood model but it's a hassle to setup and eliminates your VLOS. The benefit of this one over all of the others is the quick setup (magnetic), folding flat and the coverage it provides (75% -100 of screen). We've tested a ton of these and this one was the easiest to use and a great way to add some shade to your phone/tablet.
You mentioned resetting the compass in the phone to get the DJI Fly "Compass" (multifunction indicator) to show the way the pilot was facing. Putting magnets on either end of the phone brought the question after watching your other TH-cam presentation.
No worries, its a fair question but these are too far away and too weak to affect the compass. It was one of the design decisions we made with the vendor and the testing took about 4 weeks to get through all of the phones and tablets we tested. Not one issue with any of them so you'll be fine.
Thanks for the post and this one can accommodate tablets up to the iPad Mini 4 but nothing larger. I am testing a few others that work with larger tablets and will have the review on the channel as soon as we pick one we like. Stay tuned and consider subscribing so you don't miss the giveaways. Rick
Milton, it's just wide enough to work with the iPad Mini. Anything wider will be a challenge. Thanks for the post and we have plenty in stock and can ship one right out if you decide you'd like one. Rick
Thanks for the post and it will actually work well on the EVO and EVO 2 controllers as well. I just tested it on mine yesterday and it really helps. Rick
Hiya rick ive posted this on one of ya mavic minivids but just incase u aint seen it ill post again on here. ive not been able to fly my mavic mini for a few weeks as so much wind in uk anyways last week i had a quick go while out in lorry at work and noticed it was raising height on its own ive calibrated it and done the imu calibration again and changed the rear props just incase but just had another go and its still raising height on its own only about 5 to 10 ft but dont remember the height ever moving before any ideas thanks
Hi Rick, do u have a link to the amazon.ca , or if i get it from your web site , i see u ship via us postal , can u ship it to me in canada? if yes ill get one right now!
Marc, we're not on Amazon.ca yet and are getting setup there. For now I can ship it to you direct but have to charge shipping to get it across the border. I have plenty so feel free to order if you like and I can have it out to you on Monday. Rick
Thanks for the post but if you do that, you'll be missing all the good parts :) I put these together as both a review and a bit of detail on why you'll need a product and that's what the first few minutes are designed to do.
I agree that a total hood would be better but it's always a trade-off between perfect and practical. This hood does provide a lot more shade. It's not perfect but works well and is really easy to bring along. Thanks for stopping by! Rick
We had a lot lot of folks buy the new Air 2S and we ran out of product. I have more arriving later this week so check the website and we'll update it as soon as they arrive here in a few days. Thanks for your support! Rick
Thanks for the post but you're mixing up 2 different accessories. The sun shield for the drone is $10.95 and this is a new Sun Hood for the controller. It helps to shade your phone from the sun when you're flying so you can see the screen better. I have both of them on the site but they do different things. Rick
Seems to be a serious flaw in the design - no flap parallel to the screen. If the sun is high in the sky this shade will not be of much use. Such an elegant mounting design, reasonable price too, but alas I have to look elsewhere.
Not sure about magnet and signal interference so I’m trusting your expertise that you’ve tested this against said issues. Ordered today even though it’s bright fog this month it’s the same issue glare. Thanks Rick

Do the magnets interfere with the phone compass?
Rick any problems with the magnetic field and the cell phones? I'm new just a question anyone?
There won't be any problems. Plenty of cell phone mounts out there with much stronger magnets that do not affect the phone. Magnets vs computers really is a problem for hard drives with magnetic readers, and it takes a pretty powerful magnet.
So I just picked this up from you. And it works on my EVO II.
Thank You for recommendation. I received it a few days ago & love it, works just as you said. It fits in the MA2 bag. It’s a perfect size. It does take seconds to install & remove. Perfect for sunny days. Once again Thank You

I ORDERED ONE LAST NIGHT FROM YOUR SIGHT!!! I ALSO ORDERED THE LANYARD KIT!
LOOKS LIKE AN AWESOME PRODUCT!!
I just got one of these for the Air2s and it works great.
Looks like a great product. Just ordered one through Amazon. Thanks, Rick
Nice review. Keep in mind the controller is a radio transmitter. Placing magnets near the antenna probably won't help reception. Cheers...
Thanks for the post but the magnets are far enough away from the controller and phone to not have any affect on the transmission or the compass. We've tested these extensively and have sold them for over 2 years without issue so no worries. I appreciate you stopping by and hope you'll stay tuned for more content we'll be posting this week.
Will the magnets interfere with the signal to the drone? i.e. shorter range
Regards from Guatemala, I always watch your videos
Hi Rick is mark I've got the same Sun hood that you showed us on your channel they are brilliant thanks again
I had my 1st flight with my Maverick air 2 was a mazing I was so excited
Nobody has these anymore. I got the DJI one, which isn't actually bad, but then it won't let me mount the YAGI range extender when its on. Hope someone comes out with something good......

I am using the RC GearPro Foldable bracket I bought on Amazon to raise and angle the phone on the Mavic Air 2 controller. Will this sun hood work with it?
Bruce, it looks like it will fit that bracket and you might just have to widen the lot at the top but it looks like it will fit fine. Thanks for the support! Rick
@@Dronevalley I just got it (great service) and it fits perfectly without having to widen the top. Keep up the great videos, Rick.
Will this work with the 5 inch mini iPad
Karl, I use it with my iPad mini 4 /5 and it works fine but it's a tight fit. You'll have to run the cable up inside of the cover to the iPad but you can make it work.
I want to know about the DJI hood they sell. If I buy one it will be that one and don't see anything on it. I'll have to do a review on it. Yeah I will stay away from magnets it messes with your compass on your phones no bueno to me. Thanks though.
Thanks for the post and I tested the DJI hood as part of our review. I found it tricky to assemble and a little top-heavy. We chose the one we offer because it folded smaller, had magnetic clasps and mounted quickly to the phone/tablet in the holder. I try to only do positive reviews on the channel with products I like and am not a fan of bashing gear that I don't use regularly.
Is the case leather ?
Looks like you can put the Yagi Uda on it after putting the shade on the antenna struts?
Yes, the hood is designed to work with the Yagi Uda range extender installed so you can use them together if you like. We have plenty of both in stock and can ship them out today for you. Thanks, Rick
I use a Samsung Tablet S3 due to poor eyes, mounted on a PGYTECH mount with a strong retention spring. I would like to get a set of Yagi Uda's, the link to Amazon led to your subset, but a different "Amazon Choice" Yagi Uda antenna?
I'm not sure why that product is coming up, but that's Amazon for you. Here's a link to our product - amzn.to/3cJVGQO. Thanks again for your support! Rick
Drone Valley Just ordered the MINI 2 Yagi-Uda's directly from you. Thank you for the information and the product!
Great tutorial. Were you an auctioneer in a previous life? :-)
Who makes this? I don’t see the buy links.
Peter, we stock these and have them available on our website here - tinyurl.com/y3oydh8e. We provide free shipping and can have one out to you today. Thanks for your support! Rick
I have found that lately when I go to fly my mavic mini is starting to mess up real bad I have my Mavic Mini and my Mavic Air 2 on my tablet and both of my drones now having problems and I've never had problems before they put the Mavic air 2 on to the fly app. Before when it was just a Maverick Mini I had goreat video and I had great contact with the Maverick Minnie and everything else is up for you know the regular Wi-Fi. But now I fly something like 50 feet away from me and the screen goes blank or gets choppy. And the Mavic Air 2 video transmit stutter, is anybody else having the same problem
I've seen several in-use reviews of these that show they are only marginally useful. I'm searching for a decent "full" hood for the Mini 2.
Thanks for the post and all of the hoods we've tested are only "marginally" useful since the sunshine is everywhere. The only one we found to be 100% effective was the Hood model but it's a hassle to setup and eliminates your VLOS. The benefit of this one over all of the others is the quick setup (magnetic), folding flat and the coverage it provides (75% -100 of screen). We've tested a ton of these and this one was the easiest to use and a great way to add some shade to your phone/tablet.
Do the magnets affect the compass???
Dennis, we've tested it extensively and used it for over a year with a variety of phones/tablets and no issues at all. Thanks for the post! Rick
You mentioned resetting the compass in the phone to get the DJI Fly "Compass" (multifunction indicator) to show the way the pilot was facing. Putting magnets on either end of the phone brought the question after watching your other TH-cam presentation.
No worries, its a fair question but these are too far away and too weak to affect the compass. It was one of the design decisions we made with the vendor and the testing took about 4 weeks to get through all of the phones and tablets we tested. Not one issue with any of them so you'll be fine.
Awesome thanks! Any suggestions for tablet sun shields for MA2?
Thanks for the post and this one can accommodate tablets up to the iPad Mini 4 but nothing larger. I am testing a few others that work with larger tablets and will have the review on the channel as soon as we pick one we like. Stay tuned and consider subscribing so you don't miss the giveaways. Rick
Luv the channel.
Will this work with a tablet/ iPad type device?
Thanks
Milton, it's just wide enough to work with the iPad Mini. Anything wider will be a challenge. Thanks for the post and we have plenty in stock and can ship one right out if you decide you'd like one. Rick
Drone Valley Hi Rick. Thanks for the reply. Great. I’ll get with you this week.
?? no longer available on Amazon..7/20/20 12:40pm
I wish they made one for the Mavic Pro 2. I made my own and tried using magnets but, they interfered with my signal and I ended up using Velcro.
Thanks for the review, I kinda doubt it’s available in the uk though is it?
We're happy to ship to the UK and have a lot customers there that buy our accessories. Feel free to order one and we can ship it out on Monday. Rick
Rick, Could this sun hood work on the Evo 2? It has a similar top spring attachment on the controller for the cellphone.
Thanks for the post and it will actually work well on the EVO and EVO 2 controllers as well. I just tested it on mine yesterday and it really helps. Rick
Drone Valley Great! Thanks.
Hiya rick ive posted this on one of ya mavic minivids but just incase u aint seen it ill post again on here. ive not been able to fly my mavic mini for a few weeks as so much wind in uk anyways last week i had a quick go while out in lorry at work and noticed it was raising height on its own ive calibrated it and done the imu calibration again and changed the rear props just incase but just had another go and its still raising height on its own only about 5 to 10 ft but dont remember the height ever moving before any ideas thanks
Hi Rick, do u have a link to the amazon.ca , or if i get it from your web site , i see u ship via us postal , can u ship it to me in canada? if yes ill get one right now!
Marc, we're not on Amazon.ca yet and are getting setup there. For now I can ship it to you direct but have to charge shipping to get it across the border. I have plenty so feel free to order if you like and I can have it out to you on Monday. Rick
Thumbs up ere' Rick, good review for the Air 2. Many thanks for sharing the info :)
It`s not available in germany... :(
Skip to 2:45 - you’re welcome 👍🏻
Thanks for the post but if you do that, you'll be missing all the good parts :) I put these together as both a review and a bit of detail on why you'll need a product and that's what the first few minutes are designed to do.
Reviewing a sun hood indoor? That’s not good.
Looks like a nice design. But let's be honest here... on a sunny day... nothing really helps unless you get your head inside the sunshade as well.
I agree that a total hood would be better but it's always a trade-off between perfect and practical. This hood does provide a lot more shade. It's not perfect but works well and is really easy to bring along. Thanks for stopping by! Rick
@@Dronevalley Will this sunshade fit into the DJI Air 2 FLymore case?
@@arniep740 Thanks for the post and you will be fine fitting it in the case. It folds flat and can slip in alongside the drone.
nice!
It's sold out!
We had a lot lot of folks buy the new Air 2S and we ran out of product. I have more arriving later this week so check the website and we'll update it as soon as they arrive here in a few days. Thanks for your support! Rick
Sweet!
c'mon Rick...this was like $10.95 yesterday now magically it's $17.95
Thanks for the post but you're mixing up 2 different accessories. The sun shield for the drone is $10.95 and this is a new Sun Hood for the controller. It helps to shade your phone from the sun when you're flying so you can see the screen better. I have both of them on the site but they do different things. Rick
Seems to be a serious flaw in the design - no flap parallel to the screen. If the sun is high in the sky this shade will not be of much use. Such an elegant mounting design, reasonable price too, but alas I have to look elsewhere.
