There are a LOT of discussions about the benefits/negatives of the
SC w/ the
2S. One of the major ones is that the range using the
SC is noticeably shorter, albeit the single unit screen controller combo is great for quick deployment and screen brightness. Some people on the other hand love having the ipad mini's larger screen, although dimmer.
I guess it all boils down to your needs. Where are you located? What type of work are you planning on doing? Etc.
For us, we opted NOT to get a
Smart Controller and instead use a Samsung S20+ w/the controller. Reason being, we are in Central Florida and fly a lot on the coasts, in the extremely bright and hot sunlight. The S20+ has 1200 nits and works fine for us. Why don't we use one of our 4 iPad pros or 3 iPhones? Because here in FL they overheat like CRAZY and screen-off, unlike the Samsungs which let you dim the screen before catastrophic screen failure. 2) We NEVER fly out of VLOS, however, since we do fly inner-city, we depend on that solid occusync signal that is not degraded. since we use the standard
2S remote.
Again, it all hinges on what you are aiming to do...
