Hi Kochu! You can use the syscan app or sky safari to control the mount, wireless no problem.
But...
Handcontroller got more "feel" for button control.. app is a touch screen. Physical button is better for moving around an object.
Handphone screen tends to be brighter. It does affect the night vision.
Handphone power to drain for WIFI, not alot.. but i will prefer to use sky safari to map and name of objects then use the hand controller. Physical connections are always better than wireless.
I prefer to use my handphone to play soft music. =)
The V5 hand controller is 1/2 the price of my AZ GTI. Ouch...
