[jeffroB]

Hi guys, Just in process of purchasing the M2 Pro with smart controller and wondering if there is a suitable bracket on the market that fits the iPad Pro 11"? Also are there still connection. problems with the iPad and M 2 pro? Thanks

Why buy an SC (5” screen) for all the $ and then connect another display. Why not get a much less expensive regular controller?

Already ordered the Mavic w/ the sc. The bigger display will help on some projects

Can you even gang up a phone or tablet with a smart controller?

Welcome to the M2 Family

Your going to need a second controller to hook up the Ipad Pro
The other option is to buy a HDMI monitor and get the Thor Adapter for the Smart Controller however there is just a little lag in that pursuit .

I suggest trying the Smart Controller display first, it really is quite good. Another advantage being quick and easy to deploy the drone without the hassle of plugs and attachment brackets etc. I use a neck strap and have a shade hood which is seldom used. As others mentioned, you can always use a larger screen with HDMI input if need be.

If you do get a separate RC for the iPad, you can set one as main and other as secondary. Then two can operate the M2 with the main being able to override the secondary.

thanks for the info. Having done quite a bit of research, I am getting the feeling that to do mapping or inspections, the best combo is the normal remote with an iPad. I know its been discussed on here before , but can someone confirm that Pix4d capture and drone deploy aren't available for the smart controller, without installing Pilot PE?

Hi jeffroB Welcome to Mavic Pilots.
I agree with bumper try the SC first, I was used to a 10” screen so thought the SC would be to small but when using it I found it to be good as it is.

The SC is very bright so you can see it in intense light situations. Ipads are that bright. I put a 7 inch high brightness video screen on a bracker above the SC so I can see exactly what the camera sees without all the flight info. See Thors drone world for the brackets. They have screens but you can buy them at BH Photo or Amazon, etc. Get a decent one or the video will skip.

You would be much better off with buying yourself the Feel World 729S monitor. It connects via HDMI, it is an astounding 2,200nits of brightness, nothing comes close to this screen and works well in mid day sun, plus it can be bought new for about $235. and you can get a low cost 3d printed bracket on ebay for about $44 or the excellent but expensive Thor bracket for about 3 times the price.

I use this screen with my SC when I want an additional screen to my SC. It is light weight too and much brighter and cheaper and lighter than even the Crystal Sky Ultrabright or is it the super bright? Yes it is a 7 inch screen, this Feel World but that is more manageable to carry around than a 10 in iPad, plus it won't overheat the way an iPad will. Check it out before you buy that iPad. When I use it, I chose to have it display just what my camera is showing and all the other data regarding flight and settings, I keep displayed on my SC.

thanks for all the welcomes! One more question. There is a remote available, model GL200A ,on eBay. Is this compatible with the M2 pro? Seller says yes, others say no!
