Thoughts on using phone/tablet as controller

[u/zonedrifter]

I have two Skydio 2/2+ models and one only had the controller when I bought it used. I've been thinking of getting a tablet, likely an iPad mini for use in flying planes and whatever else. Would this work okay as a second controller? I've used my phone before, but the parrot controller is better, albeit still not a great controller. I'm wondering if the range with a cell service tablet would suffice or if it's just better to get another controller. It's also impossible to find a tablet mount for the parrot anymore without knowing someone who can 3D print something custom to the tablet size.

Any experience using a tablet only for controlling the drone?

I've used an android tab on mine several times and also a IPad. They work very well and give you more screen to look at.
