Interested in taking your drone flying to the next level? You’ll need a way to ensure that the screen of your iPad Mini is as bright and visible as possible – an iPad Mini sunshade can do the trick here. However, you’ll need to follow some important precautions to ensure that you’re able to use the sunshade properly, enjoy the benefits it offers, and protect your iPad at the same time. What should you know?
Mini Model
One of the first considerations you will need to make when contemplating the use of an iPad mini sunshade is whether or not the shade you are looking at will fit your iPad Mini model. There are currently four different Mini models on the market, and each is slightly different in terms of size, weight and dimensions. While those slight variances mean little to human users, they make a significant difference when it comes to mating with accessories, such as a drone’s sunshade.
Securement Method
Another precaution you need to take when using an iPad Mini sunshade is to make sure that the securement method used by the sunshade manufacturer works. Some companies use elastic straps, while others use suction cups to hold the mini in place. There are other systems on the market, too. Make sure that you know how your iPad is held in place, and how that will affect your use. For instance, if the sunshade uses suction cups to hold the iPad Mini in place, then you will definitely need to remove any case you have on the iPad before you can insert it into the sunshade. This may add complication and time to your use.
Multiple Sides
Whatever type of iPad Mini sunshade you ultimately settle on, make sure that it has four sides. The iPad Mini tends to sit very deep within the accessory, but this does not mean you will experience no glare if the sunshade only has a single extended side or two protective sides. You really need multiple sides to protect against glare from all directions. Anything less will leave you with less protection than you need.
Ultimately, the right iPad Mini sunshade can be a valuable tool, allowing you to cut glare, improve your flying accuracy, and help ensure that you’re able to not only see clearly where your drone is going but capture video and photos better.
