I live in Greeneville, if you'd like to get together and share knowledge!! I just got my third DJI drone, the Mavic 2 Pro with Smart Controller. I'm working on learning to edit videos at the time...

I'm raw, so I think you would be the only one sharing knowledge! I have determined I want a tablet to fly from and what little research I've done seems the consensus is iPad mini or iPad air. What say you?

While I’m mostly flying an M2P now, I love my MPP and use it regularly. Excellent choice... Great bird!

Air works good

I lived in Chattanooga for 4 years before moving to the midwest. You've got tons of really great places to fly around you.

I salivated over the M2P but just didnt have the budget for it. Sold some sports cards from my collection of many years to get the MPP. I've taken a couple maiden flights, short ones getting the feel for it as this is my first real "drone", dont think my AR Parrot gen 1 counts. I desperately need to get a tablet to fly with, my old eyes struggle with my smartphone.

I had the same problem as my eyes are a bit older than yours. I know it's a lot of coin to drop on a hobby, but take a look at the CrystalSky dedicated monitors while your looking at tablets. You can mount them to your RC for a one piece solution and they can be seen in full sunlight. I was having all sorts of problems with my Android phone and I bought a CS and have never looked back.

Which version did you get??

Which version did you get??

I got the 5.5 inch version and the DJI MOUNT that goes with it. That way, the CS and the RC are locked together into one unit that you can easily hold onto. I do all the preflight checks and the precision takeoff using the CS, then don the goggles for the rest of the flight. During RTH, when the MP is over the pad, I go back to the CS again until it's on the pad.

 

[MavProPlat1968]

Ok, I'm thinking I've gotten into a hobby I cant afford!! My main concern is the screen size. I'm just afraid that, even though the screen is brighter, it's still going to be small, and that's what I'm trying to fix. Size matters you know!!

 

[PaulRC]

I hear your mate. You're probably OK to just get a compatible table then and use one of the various mounts to connect it to your RC. Maybe you can get somebody to get you a CS for your birthday.
