Ok thank you ALL for your excellent comments i have through them all (and got confused in the process lol) so allow me to ask a few questions:-
1) No itchi for me then, case closed.
2) why everyone recommends an iOS ?! what about a GOOD Android Tablet, i dont get it ?!...
3) is this really reliable and free of charge forever ?! Map Pilot Pro - Apps on Google Play
4) How about this ? Dronelink. Drone Flight Control for DJI, Autel Drones
5) eventually i need a software to process the data, correct ? is this the way to go or any other alternatives ?

1) Air 3 wont work with any dron mappying apps ?? too bad i was gonna trade my Air 2s for Air3 !... better get Mavic 3 then in future ??...

Yes, Drone Link works fine with Air2s. As does Map Pilot Pro. You can't map with Air 3
Be aware though that the Elite plan (which you will need to get both Mapping and the ability to use oblique angles) is a Hobbyist plan only. If you only are doing a handful of jobs, you will probably get away with it but you will be breaking their terms of service. If you use it a lot, they will ban your account and force an upgrade to a professional plan at about $250/year verse $99 one-time.
I've done hundreds of jobs for clients with the Air2s and clients have always been perfectly happy with results so don't let anyone tell you that you need a mechanical shutter or need to stop at every point. If its a sunny day, I can cruise along at 10-12 MPH with good results.
Would an Air2s be the appropriate choice for EVERY mapping need? No, of course not, but for many needs it is a great solution. I use it regularly for:
I would really try to get an iPad (I use the Air with a bracket) verse Android mobile device. The user experience is just far superior with more screen real estate and tends to be more stable.
- Stockpile measurements (quarry managers)
- Cut & Fill reports for construction progress
- Roof inspections for solar installation planning (Distribution centers, large warehouses, etc)
- Parking lot mapping/inspection for restriping and resurfacing planning
- Solar farm planning
Ping me with any questions, happy to help
