Hey gang,  
Starting to redo my studio and the focus of it is an IPad Air 3 with lightening connection. I was wondering how to hook it up to bigger monitor for video editing and photo editing?  
Also I have a western digital external drive with ton of files on it and how to access it. My pc is on its way out and I don’t want another one gong forward. Just want to use iOS.  
Any suggestions?
