I used an iPad with my Phantom 3 but opted for the 4 Pro+ with its built-in screen and 1" sensor for my latest drone.

The 4 Pro+ screen is bright enough to be used if the sun isn't shining directly on it. I found the iPad screen good if shaded. An iPhone (of any type) was just too small for my aging eyes!

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 with my DJI Phantom three. It has a brightness setting to cope with the sunlight, but the screen is still highly reflective and problematic in bright sunshine. I decided to custom build a six inch deep hood for it, but that didn’t resolve the problem so I built a deeper one that still didn’t help. My newest creation is more of a tapered snoot. It’s sixteen inches long, enclosed on all sides, with an opening on the bottom near the screen that allows for camera adjustments. My end is covered with a thin piece of black foam that has a single one inch round hole. This hood works great with the reflection gone when my eye is pressed against the foam. Now I need to build a more durable hood out of high density quarter inch foam.
