HeiyRC Anti-Glare Foldable Sun Hood for DJI Controllers – Compatible with Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Mavic 3, and More
The HeiyRC Sun Hood is a foldable, anti-glare accessory designed for DJI remote controllers that hold smartphones between 4.5 and 7 inches. It works with models like the DJI Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Mini 2 SE, Mini 3 Pro, Air 2S, Mavic 3 Classic, Mavic 3 Pro, Mini 2, Mini 3, Air 2, RC-N1, RC-N2, and Phantom 3/4 controllers. The hood measures 7.2 by 3.1 by 6 inches and weighs 105 grams, making it compact enough to carry in a drone bag.
Which DJI Controllers Does This Sun Hood Fit?
The sun hood is compatible with a wide range of DJI controllers that use a smartphone as the display. It fits the RC-N1, RC-N2, and the controllers for the Mavic 3 series, Air series, Mini series, and Phantom 3/4. The internal pocket accommodates phones from 4.5 to 7 inches, so most modern smartphones fit securely.
How Does the Anti-Glare Design Work?
Unlike elastic band hoods that press against the phone screen, this sun hood uses a top shading cover to block sunlight from above. This design reduces glare without touching the screen, keeping the display clear even in bright conditions. A reserved hole for data cables means you can still charge or connect accessories while flying.
How Is It Installed?
Installation uses a magic sticker – a reusable adhesive that sticks without leaving residue. Because it’s not magnetic, it won’t interfere with the controller’s signal. The sticker’s grip can be refreshed by rubbing it; simply press the hood onto the controller. The one-piece, foldable shape makes it easy to store when not in use.
What Materials Is It Made Of?
The exterior is PU leather, which is water-resistant and dust-proof, making it easy to wipe clean. The interior is suede – soft and non-slip, so it holds the phone gently without scratching. The suede is also non-reflective, reducing any additional glare inside the hood.
What’s Included in the Package?
The package includes one sun hood. It is already assembled and ready to use. The specific compatible models listed on the packaging are Air 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mavic 3, Air 2, Air 2S, and Mini 2, but based on the specification, it fits all the controllers mentioned above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this sun hood work with the DJI RC (built-in screen) controller?
The supplied information specifies compatibility with controllers that hold a smartphone between 4.5 and 7 inches. The DJI RC with built-in screen is not listed, so it may not fit.
Can I use a charging cable with the hood attached?
Yes. There is a dedicated hole for data cables, so you can connect a charging cable or a secondary device while the hood is on the controller.
Does the magic sticker lose stickiness over time?
The sticker can be refreshed by rubbing it to restore its grip. It is a reusable adhesive, but the data does not specify how long it lasts before needing replacement.
Is this sun hood suitable for the Phantom 4 controller?
The compatibility list includes Phantom 3 and 4 controllers, so it should fit the Phantom 4.
