Kekane and genesimmons, thanks for the great information and suggestions. You're wetting my appetite to get another drone now. The biggest issue I had (other than firmware) when flying mine was being able to see the monitor well enough. I have a Nexus 7 that I used with a hood and still wished the monitor was brighter. I've been tempted to get the controller with the built-in monitor but the last time I checked, it didn't allow 3rd party apps like Litchi that I liked to use.
And of course, now I know who to go to if I ever do get another drone and need advice.
i also struggle with seeing the screen, ive tried many phones, the phone of choice is a dirt cheap 69$ phone the "huwai" assend, it fits the controller perfect and the screen is pretty bright, ive toyed with the idea of goggles as many users swear by them and u can fly in the brightest of conditions, the only downfall besides they are huge,,,,,,, hahah is u look like an extrreme dork but if u can get past that,,,,,, haha, theres also a dedicated screen that dji makes called "crystalsky" they are pricey but again guys swear by them in the sun, i didnt think i would use the drone that much but now that ive used it many times i carry it every where as its so small, i can foresee a scene and think,, wow at about 250-400ft up that would look incredible, so just launch it and shoot a pano rama and bring her back down,its opened up a whole new photo world and i am quite impressed with the files, out of camera not great but with some editing they look great and printable for sure, the mav has came down in price a bit as there is rumor of a mark 2 but still only rumor,
