Hello, I just bought a GL300F controller for my P4P+. How do I get this controller set up? What are pilots using as far as iPads? and I’m guessing I’ll need to have a data plan like my phone and all that? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin

No ... you don't need a data plan.
If you need internet connectivity (not necessary for most flying), it's a simple matter to hotspot from your phone.
You'll need a suitable phone or tablet.

You would need one that's suitable for DJI Go 4, those are highlighted in green.
5th gen iPads and above are still supported (Nov 22). I use a 6th gen 9.7" iPad with my GL300F. It's the biggest iPad that will fit in the clasp mounted on the controller. Works fine but would like a brighter screen. Using a glare shield on the screen and a foldable, three sided shade hood. The iPad Pro is supposed to be a little brighter. Not sure about the Air version. It's all about "nits", brightness measurement. Ipads are around 400 nits. In comparison, CrystalSky and GL300e monitors are around 1000 nits. Still have my GL300E and may go back to using it when needed. There were issues installing software on them a few years ago. Think they sorted that out.
