I have a Samsung Tab A 10.1. I love it. I use the box top for the glare. Works great. 16Gb. I hotspot my phone.

I bought the CrystalSky Ultra and it is amazing. I hope in the future it will be Litchi capable.

Yes it’s expensive but your bird costs just as much....I have 3 birds and hopefully I’ll be able to use my Ultra on my Mavic Pro sometime in the future!!!

Have you had ANY issues with the Ultrabrite, I originally preordered then canceled because I couldn’t get an ETA but now they seem to be suffering from overheating issues causing screen failure

I think any of the iPads that have an A8 CPU or higher will work fine. I have the iPad Air4 with A8 and it's great, IMO. But it could be brighter. The iPad Mini4 has the A8 also. I'm always looking for a shade tree to fly from, and if none are around I have an umbrella hat that works good when there is no wind. The umbrella hat is very dorky looking, but I fly alone usually.. Newer iPad's with A9 and A10 work great too, from what others say, and they can have slightly brighter screens. The 9.7" size is the largest I would buy. That size fits OK in the RC clip OK without adapters, etc. But if you want to maximize size, the 10.5" iPad will work with an adapter. The value of each size will be your choice, depending on your eyes, your personal size preference, and your threshold of pain cost-wise. If you're on a budget, consider an Apple refurb unit. I recommend getting at least 64GB storage so you can use the iPad for other things, like watching movies when on travel. At hotels, if the wifi is good, I can remotely watch my TV recordings from my DVR at home through my iPad, using the luxury of Sling support in DishNetwork. It also allows movie download to my iPad that I can watch on airplane trips without an internet connection, that's where the added storage helps.

I will add, I'm an Android fan. My phone is android. I tried android tablets originally (2yrs ago) and had issues, and I tried 3 models of Samsung. Then, out of desperation, when I used my wife's iPad Mini3, it worked perfect. I went to the dark side. So for flying DJI drones I use only iPad, so far. I've been thinking about buying a CrystalSky Ultra lately, but it's a lot heavier with the special mount and all. I also don't know if it will be compatible with my 1.3.509 craft firmware and newest Go4 app. I'm not upgrading my craft firmware due to the freedoms I enjoy, so that my dilemma with CS.

Have you tried a hoodman? I finally got one for my air2 and it's simply awesome. It's like goggles. Very worth it.

The iPad air 2 does great for me. Great tablet to fly with.
