This might seem like an odd question, but when I got my dual controller Inspire package, they included a free 5.8 receiver/monitor/DVR to operate the second controller.
I'd read often about the second controller being 5.8 so assumed I'd need that monitor for the camera operator to use.
I tried following the instructions from DJI on how to set up the second controller and got nothing but frustration, it never worked, and drove me stark raving mad in the attempt.
So eventually I went to Youtube and followed the instructions there, and they were using two iPads, one on each controller. My work supply me with an iPad Air 2, and I already own an iPad Air 2 myself, so it seemed logical to just use the work one for the second controller.
It worked a treat, and was super simple to set up, and appears on the test bench to work just fine.
So why did I need the 5.8 receiver/monitor? Is it still using 5.8 if I'm using the 2nd iPad, or are both controllers now communicating directly with the Inspire so to speak. I'm just not sure where this whole 5.8 fits into the equation if using two iPads on the controllers.
Would it theoretically ever be possible mid flight to switch total control over to the second controller? I can't imagine when or why, maybe someone drops and smashes the main one or something, but just in theory could you ever take or give full flight control to the camera operator's controller?
The BlackPearl Monitor I own with my P2 doesn't have DVR, so the free monitor/receiver/DVR that came with the Inspire has now been put in the P2 kit, and if I ever fly the P2 again, I'm sure it will get to do a great job as the screen for it, It sure isn't going to be used on the Inspire.
