Ipad Mini 4 Generation

[0.005°] The Genie One operates at about half or less of the volume (motor noise) of the original Genie. I had a VERY difficult time connecting to a brand new iPhone 12 to do the firmware upgrade and was about to give up and return it to B&H. I was able to update both of my 1st generation Genie Mini on the first try. The Syrp website suggests using an Android phone. I live in an all Apple household, and I was going to borrow a friend's Android, but tried one last thing. I have a 1st generation iPad Mini, and tried loading the newest version of the Syrp app onto it. That worked, so I tried connecting the Genie One, and voila, the iPad downloaded the update and loaded it onto the Genie One on the first try. There are some very nice upgrades to the app and device and all are compatible with the 1st generation Genie Minis that I have for pan/tilt. All in all a great system, but there were big hiccups on the firmware updates.

[Solid-State] Audio quality is way better than the mic in the iPad mini.

[Blue] Love the new generation OpenRun Pros. I bought the mini which fits my head much better than my original ones.

[Yes] Very nice case. If it’s an eighth generation iPad very well. Have not dropped it but seems like it would offer a lot of protection.

[iPadOS] I upgraded from a sixth generation iPad. The old one was very sluggish. The iPad Air M2 chip is very quick. Websites that used to take forever to load (maybe 30 seconds) now load in just a few seconds. Wish I'd upgraded long ago. The iPad Air M2 is thin and light. The battery charge easily lasts, and I can usually stretch it to two days. I strongly recommend getting a quality shock resistant case. $600 is a lot of money to risk dropping and breaking.

[0.75 lb] I’ve loved the Apple Pencil since generation 1. I’ve used the generation 2 and didn’t imagine that it could get any better. I only got the Pro because I upgraded to the iPad Pro M4. I love this pencil! Especially the “squeeze” function and the Haptic Touch.

[0.775 lb] Very happy about my purchase. When I plugged this into my new iPad 7th generation, it was auto detected and worked immediately. Also when I tried to unplug and use my WiFi connection instead for my web conference, it was significantly slower speed. So kudos to Belkin for making this device and saving all lightning cable users. Nowadays, the market is flooded with USB C devices. For some of us who are still using the lightning enabled equipment, it is a great relieve to have this product save our lives in LAN connection is needed, either at home of in office.

[White] I had to get this pencil because the original pencil I had for the first generation iPad Pro won't work with my new M4 iPad. However, although a bit grumpy at having to fork out to buy what I thought I owned, after some use I'm content that the new pencil, like the M4 iPad is enough of an improvement that I'm happy with my purchase.

[Yes] I considered the Apple Keyboard's for my new iPad Air 4th generation. I have had both brands before for earlier iPad's. This Logitech keyboard is in the same league as the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio (similar configuration), but has three very important features that are lacking on the Apple keyboard. 1. Backlit keys. 2. Top row of short-cut function keys. 3. Trackpad. So, for less money, you can have a keyboard with much more functionality.

[Yes] Just received the new keyboard for the IPad 11. The keyboard is a nice upgrade from the first generation as it seems sturdier. Great service and price from B&H Photo.
