DJI Crystal Sky vs iPad Mini 4

[Mr G]

I'm currently using my iPhone 6s with my Mavic. My iPad 4 doesn't work with DJI Go 4 app. Now trying to decide between iPad Mini 4 or Crystal Sky. Any thoughts?
I don't care about other uses for iPad Mini 4. Would only use it for Mavic.

unless you need to run 3rd party apps then i would go with the crystalsky.

CrystalSky hands down.

CrystalSky...Absolutely no problems in bright sunlight. No connection problems.

And, for the Price versus Results -- CrystalSky Ultra! 2,000 nits! Won't wash out in the brightest sun and a Big Monitor.

I have (2) dedicated iPad Mini 4s and I've still pre-ordered the Ultra.

I went for crystal sky, screen allot brighter

By far a much brighter display, I use the 5.5" (1000 nit / Plenty Bright), just a tip, I bought a cheap ($69 USD) 12V 1080P LCD TV, very light just throw it in the back of the car, plug the HDMI out on the CS to the HDMI in on the TV (Plus you can adjust the Brightness/Contrast on the TV), now I go to the beach, Florida summertime sun no shade, can read the CS for app settings no problem, and watch the TV for flying & video recording, I use a mini max portable charger to power the TV, lasts all day and still has plenty of juice.

This is a newer version of the TV, no glare from this as well, mine has no DVD Player, sure if you look enough you can find an earlier / cheaper model

This will also charge up your controller should it run low .
.

Set up my beach chair and a small folding table to put the TV on, grab one of my favorite beverages and burn up all my batteries

I had to have both, one for bright display and the other for the 3rd party apps I have to use.

Gotcha, I use my Samsung S5 when I want to use Litchi

Which CrystalSky model are you talking about? Thanks

Is the 6s bright enough and easy to see where you fly? The Mini4 will be around the same, an anti-glare screen cover also helps.
I have both the Mini4 (with Moshi A-G) and have had the 7.8" CS (HighBright) for a week or so now, the CS is MUCH easier to see under full sun, used a hood a lot with the mini and haven't needed it since using the CS.

I've been using an iPad mini 4 for a while an as long as you can get under some shade its fine. The CS I use in direct sun with no problem

+1 vote for CrystalSky hands down. Love the combination of the 5.5" CrystalSky + MavMount.

Both CS 5.5" units and MavMounts + Type C Cables for a clean setup as pictured are all IN STOCK here at Advexure.

The iPad Mini works well for me...but as you know the screen in bright sun is no the best....would search out some real time info...one to the other...also the cost of the mini vs the DJI screen needs to be understood. Good luck.

Screen for screen the CS wins, the only problem is all you get with the CS is DJI Go or Go 4.

CrystalSky all the way. Finally I can see the screen in daylight. No more squinting to see it.
