    As a pilot the iPad is a must have. I chose the mini because it’s much easier to mount in the cockpit of an airplane. I love this iPad!

    Bought this to use when flying my drone, I have to say Apple hands down it just works and works better than any thing else, now I will say and this is not a problem with the product but a suggestion it seems like a lot of people who fly drones prefer the iPad mini it would be nice if Apple would raise the brightness of the screen from 500 nits, to at least 1200 nits this would help when using outside in the sun, but hands down software wise this is the best thing you can use to fly your drone.
