There seems to be limited info. I particular I wonder if anyone has the optimal distance between mount and controller (iPad etc.j

No point I don't use a Syncscan handset any more (Eqmod/Ascom) plus its cheaper to use something like a Wemos d1 mini (£8) - don't know if it would work with the Syncscan Pro App (but should).  But if you must then ok but a bit pricey for what it does (IMO) - If it works !! 

There is a Windows/Android/Apple version of the App which allows non Sky Wifi connecion via serial (it seems) - Windows is beta testing. It will also control AZ as well as EQ mounts.

I hear that if you use SkySafari Pro on IOS  you need to buy 2 Skywatcher Wifi's adapters - True or False? - or Phone a friend.

SkySafari Pro on Android uses just one Adapter - Got to love Apple !
