My recommendation would be to get the iPad mini 5 along with a tablet mount, sunshade, lanyard and longer lightning cable. I'm 56 myself and have no problems seeing the screen except when the sun is glaring down directly on the screen. If you can afford it, skip the tablet all together and buy...

You can compare all specifications here: iPad - Compare Models It appears they have the same brightness which is probably the most important aspect. In general both these models aren't very bright and therefore can benefit by using a shade

The only advantage of owning an iPad with cellular capability but no cellular subscription is you will get a built in working GPS. You will find out quickly that for drone usage however having a GPS in a tablet and no cellular service offers limited value over a wifi only iPad. Most users are...

You know that makes perfect sense. It's a tip rather than a warning I'm now sure of it. Whoever wrote that tip probably isn't a native English speaker. It's a terrible tip anyway because it's so vague. In reality, what radar is a typical drone flier likely to encounter that is going to interfere...

I received this warning message today. You can see it in this screen capture below - small white letters scrolling. I found no reference to it by Googling and this is this first I've seen it. I've flown this area many times before. Anyone else ever see this? I'm near a private airstrip but not...

Will reach out

Does anyone here have a Marco Polo tracker for their MA2? I'm wondering the best location to velcro and see references to the Mini and Pro drones but not MA2. Any users with this setup?

Thought that may be the case. Thanks for your response

Sorry if this has been asked before but is it ok to continually leave batteries on the charger so they are always ready to go? I just don't want to damage or shorten their life.

I have the iPad 7 because I wanted a large screen, cost was an issue and it will only be used as a controller. I wanted GPS and found it on sale for about $380 a couple months back. I'm sure that will come down now that Apple is releasing a new iPad. It works for my needs but is definitely on...

I use an iPad 2019 10.2 inch 32gb version with cellular (for gps only, no service) I got from Best Buy on sale for $380. A bit heavy but works well. You will need a longer lightning cable and adapter to hold the larger screen.

Here's a real-world test I found online. The MA2 gets about 9,000 ft and this isn't LOS because it's at relatively low altitude. https://www.halfchrome.com/dji-mavic-air-2-central/

I'd be interested in knowing what others are getting for LOS range of the MA2 in urban settings. I seem to be getting about 2,500ft. I realize 6 miles isn't practical with all the wifi around but I'm not even getting 1/2 mile. I've tried an iPad and Android phone both in airplane mode. Wondering...
