Pros:
1. Good visibility in direct sun. This is it's greatest advantage. Maybe not as spectacular as some say though.
2. With the DJI Mavic mounting bracket, it's really neat and manageable in the hands and no messy cables. Way better than an unwieldy and top heavy tablet mount.
3. Great battery life compared to a cell phone.
4. Fast setup time. Very quick to connect to the controller and I like the way it switches on automatically.
5. Really nice display. Hard to describe, but crisp and sharp come to mind.
Cons:
1. Seems to be more laggy that my iPad mini4. Also had a freeze or two.
2. Touch screen not as responsive as the iPad but I have to say here that I have not taken the protective plastic off yet as I am waiting for a glass screen protector. So maybe not a valid con.
3. Using the built-in GO4 app, I notice that the performance of the built-in GPS is very laggy. Weird this, because I also have Litchi installed, and it's really slick in that app. I'm talking about how fast the device position updates in map view between the two apps and how fast the drone responds to pilot's change of position in Follow me.
4. Lack of a place to attach a lanyard when using the DJI mount for the Mavic.
5. The Crystal Sky is not cheap.Time will tell if it's really worth the money.
I'd love to hear thoughts from new and long time owners. I've still got lots of playing to do!
