ipad pro and the new dji smart controller compatible?

[gwaiifly]

Hi

Anyone figure out how to use an ipad pro with the new dji smart controller ?

Thanks !

Are you referring to totally bypassing the Smart Controller and running DJI GO on an iPad? If so, that's not possible.

Why would you want to? Not trying to be snarky, just curious.

Hi - and thanks for getting back to me .

No I'm interested in using the ipad as an auxiliary screen to my smart controller - I've tried the USB on the controller to the USB C on the pad - but no luck

It would be great to be able to hook them up

Might there be a wireless bluetooth/wifi option

Thanks for your time

: )

Hi - I could temporarily hand off the flying to a partner and focus on composition and camera set up

Thanks

What would even be better would be for DJI to allow dual controllers like they initially promised was coming.

 

[gwaiifly]

Agreed

The screen on the Smart Controller is still not large enough for proper composition - an ipad would be MUCH better.

In the context of the Mavic 2 and the Smart Controller what is the ios app "dji Go 4" used for ??

The SC is Android-based, iOS Go 4 isn't in the equation.

The whole point of the smart controller is to be a standalone, all-in-one thing.

The HDMI output is the only port on the Smart Controller that can be used to output the video signal to another device. While it's probably possible to do so (somehow), I haven't seen anyone attempt it with an iPad.

Hi folks

Thanks for all the info !

here's something

FEBON: FEBON HDMI iCapture card for iOS ( iPhone / iPad) with live stream use

have to do more research !

Thanks

OK I get that - so why is the GO 4 app available thru Apples app store - it "runs" on my ipad but can't connect to the drone !

Doesn't make sense to me

 

[kilomikebravo]

I'm confused. Are you now trying to use the original controller with this iPad or are you still trying to connect to the SRC via the HDMI out? If it's the former and you're using a known good cable via the bottom USB port on the RC, you shouldn't have any issues. Hundreds or thousands of M2 pilots are using that exact combination, including me, with zero issues.

I stopped using a heavy and fragile ipad. The Crystalsky is a fantastic camera/flying tool, and I will use nothing else. As for setting up shot, the quad should hover in place on GPS mode, giving you all the time in the world to make good settings!

Thanks for your reply

the bigger the better ! Even with all info off the main screen on the smart controller an 11 inch ipad would be superior - and I could hand off the flying to a partner

Again thanks

So did you ever get this figured out? I’m looking to do the same actually and could understand why you’d want to be able to do this.

 

[kanaloa6779]

Any solution? +1 who wants to have this option. Especially thinking about getting the M3 Cine. Want to use ProRes but also want to use an iPad. No way get ProRes without the smart controller

 

[NilsBlix]

Perhaps you could just buy a regular controller and bind it to the M3 Cine. Then you could use iPad and ProRes.

I use an app to do this - mirroring app on both andriod and iOS. Install on both the smart controller and ipad. set up smart controller as source, ipad as mirror. and you are good to go.
