My IPad Pro is in.

Good evening everyone. I got my IPad pro in today. I have the Go4 app Kittyhawk and B4UFly on it. Is there any other apps I should load?

I got mine because I wanted the larger screen. I did a lot of research and it was well worth it for me. I got a little stick time in yesterday before dark and I really like the larger screen.

I have used my iPhone 11 Pro Max, my iPad mini, and my iPad Pro on my drones. While the iPad Pro is great for lots of landscape, but it is unwieldy and adds to much weight to the controller. Finally went back to my iPad mini to have the best of 3 worlds. Just my opinion, but worth what you paid for it.

I can understand what you are saying about it being heavy. However I can either sit down in my camping chair or use a tripod with a plastic disc I use as a launch pad to set it on like a table.

do you have a preferred tripod? I was looking to get a sturdy heavier one because I am in Hawaii and its windy.

also does anyone here know of a iPad Pro 12.9 2020 sun shield? or a holder that allows me to keep the otterbox defender series on it?

Hey brother sorry for the late reply. I use a proline but I will be changing it to something heavier when I move back to Florida next year.

Why did you choose iPad mini over iPhone 11 Pro Max?

Thanks. I guess I’ll just have to get an iPad mini.

Bigger screen and i still have a phone to make calls. I’m a contractor and get calls all the time. I don’t want it interrupting my flying. I use my iPad Mini 5 for when I’m flying for fun or showing my family how to fly. I use my iPad Pro if I’m using it for business. While it is a little heavier, i have the LifThor Mjolnir adapter which really helps. Using the pro whether it’s the 12.9 or 11” isn’t practice all the time. I don’t like using my phones to fly. I hate that i need to take them out of their otterbox defender cases.
