Greetings all, Flying from the Hudson Valley in NY. Really excited by all the positive conversation here I hope to post and graduate from lurker. What a wild privilege it's been to fly!

I started with a Mini 3 Pro 3 or so years ago and loved it, eventually I fell into the world of FPV and let the warranty lapse on my Mini 3 Pro stupidly. Recently pulled it out again and chased a freighter down the Hudson river, got gorgeous shots of it cutting through the water and got hooked on the platform again. The next day I capture an even more glorious ship, twice the size, further reigniting my passion, in the process of this core memory formation I slam into a bridge column while tracking it under said bridge. A week later I'm happily holding the Air 3S (and refresh), so thrilled by Vision Assist it gives me so much more piece of mind while while strafing I had no idea the tech was there.

A confused question or two to anyone who'll entertain them, I use the RC 2 and the screens brilliant but I want to move to a larger screen, the M1 12.9" IPad is cheapest 1000 nits display I can find at 600 used, is 1000 nits that big a deal? Does it throttle brightness easily?

Also, does anyone figure the Air 3S Goggles 3 implementation will get more functionality than we have with the Air 3? Passing through vision assist or battery info. I know DJI is a black box for information but just curious if there's opinions on the direction of the wind.

Welcome from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA. We have a Member's Map in the Upper Right of the Title Bar. Click on "Members" and then Click on "Member's Map…" Check it out and you might find some new flying friends.


I am sorry, but I do not have the answers for you, but you are certainly in the right place to get answers to your questions.

Good Luck!
 
Welcome to the Forum From Bakersfield The only externals I have seen with a good brightness to them are the pricey crystalskys and then still..... I use an Ipad and the glare is a problem a shade helps more than anything really. to use a larger monitor you will need another controller they are cheap tho so not a big deal.
What sort of Functionality are you looking for? I FPV myself and the only function I am concerned with is if I can see thru it LOL! The OSD has several options as for as telemetry goes in the setup.
 
Greetings from Birmingham Alabama USA, welcome to the forum! We look forward to hearing from you!

The M1 iPad Pro has a great display. The only issue is that iPad is particularly heavy and unwieldy. You’d probably need a tripod or something to mount the iPad to to make it comfortable. Most people find the smaller version of the iPad to be the better size but I seem to remember the smaller iPad of that generation doesn’t have the XDR screen of the larger one.

The other question to consider is how you are going to hook it up to get video feed from the drone? Do you plan on getting a different remote that can take an iPad or do you plan on casting it somehow?
