Hands down - no doubt about it - the iPad Air 2 has a faster CPU and graphics co-processor than the iPad Mini 3 or iPhone 6 - and it can run the DJI app controlling my P3 for an hour flight time - 4 batteries back to back without thermally overheating. In sunny, hot Houston, I do need to use a sun hood to keep direct sunlight off the iPad Air 2 screen, or it WILL thermally shut down. My iPad Mini 3 gets very hot just from running the DJI app and will video will start pixelating after a few minutes flight time on a hot sunny day (over 90F).
However, the stock mobile device holder is just barely big enough to grab the iPad Air 2 with a thin plastic back protector and no front cover. Trying to hold both a sun hood and an iPad Air 2 is a real struggle for the stock holder. I have ordered a mobile device holder extension from a Chinese company to give me another inch of holder extension. Should be here in a week. |
