Using the deeper yesterday with the sun blazing in my face all day. Couldn't see a thing on my phone screen. Had it mounted on a tall storm pole.

Have any of you made a shroud of some kind to keep the sun off it or got any ideas please?

Put a coat over your head like the old time photographers

Do a Google search for phone sun shade/hood loads of options out there, as cheap or expensive as you want. I used one when I had a motorbike.

Yeah. Use a marker float or leading road. Deeper are cheating anyway..

You can get the screen protectors that glare out any unwanted light.

did you have polaroids on?

I know my iPhone screen has some sort of polarisation on it & I can't see it from certain angles when I have my shades on as the dual polarisation blocks all of the light out. rotate it 90 degrees & I can see it fine again
