Tether Ipad to Controller

[bkushner]

Is there a way for me to connect an Ipad to my RC Pro controller so people with me can share the screen I'm flying?

You can purchase Litchi from the app store with Litchi you can have the Person you want to watch you (thru their device) download the free" Litchi View" app so they can see what you see. As far as just connecting an iPad instead of the phone its just a matter of downloading the FLY app on the ipad, Mounting the iPad on a Tripod then get yourself one of those long cords and well...Bobs your uncle. People can stand with you and see everything. You will soon tire of the "Wait Wait go back !!!!" comments from your spectators though. LOL

Apowermirror works well. Available for IOS and Android.

Correct. You'll need to connect another type of screen through either the mini HDMI out or USB C port.

yep sorry no Litchi for you lol

Do I need any software?

Do I need any software?

No. Just a compatible monitor that accepts the output of the mini HDMI port or the USB C port. You can even use an 85” 4K TV, if you have one!

Download the Apowermirror apk to the controller and install it. Do the same on your iPad. Apowermirror allows you to cast the controller screen to anything running the app (android or ios) that is on the same network. I have several rc pro controllers including one running DJI Pilot 2 for a Mavic 3T and it works flawlessly on all. Apowermirror app is also available for LG (and probably others) so you can cast directly to your tv. No additional hardware or cables are necessary.

The best part is Apowermirror is free.

How would that work in the field, instead of at home? If both devices are hotspotted to your phone, is that considered "on the same network?"

I have a small battery powered hotspot that creates a network wherever. $25 on Amazon.

Cool. So is internet a necessary part of the network? Do you have a link to the device you use?

Internet service is not required for Apowermirror to work.

So the iPad and the RC Pro both log onto this device for a local network connection?

Yes, both log onto the device.

Sideloading is the key for the RC Pro. You will need to download the apk file for the app and run it. This explains the process in detail:

Since the Google Play store doesn't allow downloads to the RC Pro, in order to download apps to the RC Pro, you need to use an APK Downloader that does.
