Just wondering if there are any issues using iPad and iPhone with same drone? I have used the iPad 3 and it works very nice, but was thinking of setting up and using the iPhone 6s as well. Thinking about the flightlog, image/video storage on ipad/iphone, etc.
 
I have been switching back and forth. You can sync the flight records via the cloud (I had varying success with some sync failures). You need to remember if you make a critical setting change specific to the Go App on one you need to do on the other as well. I'm thinking Images/video will only be on the device that recorded it, but I could be wrong.

My original iPad 3 wouldn't allow download of the old Pilot App.
So wondering which iPad 3 you are referring to?

I keep changing between iPad Mini and iPhone 6S.
 
Oh, I would never try to run this rich app and firmware with that older processing power. Probably go up in a poof of smoke.
I doubt it would even fit in the Inspire 1 device holder, will it?
Let me check this myself. No, not even close. How are you attached to the radio, device holder? Must have that z shaped extention hook.
And talk about heavy weight, compared to thee Air 2 Cellular.
Glad I'm not stuck with that boat anchor, around my collar. Talk about Feeling like an Oxen in a neck yoke.
Are you actually flying with this setup, & are you mostly sitting down?

Is it possible to have Ipad 3 connected to the controller for the settings etc., and same time have iphone 6+ connected as FPV goggles? I have DJI phantom 3 pro with hdmi module.
 
An iPad 3 doesn't run the Go app well, poor prcessing power. How/why would you use it?
Not sure how you will wear the iPhone headset either? Haha
