    Disappointed

    I remember trying to use a ipad mini in my original Mavic Pro controller, but it wouldn't fit, just tried the ipad mini into the new mavic 2 pro controller, and still doesn't fit, i believe they are 7.9 inches, I know the Mavic Pro controller struggles with trying to accommodate the tablet.

    Popping in to say hello

    Welcome to the forum, look forward to you getting the Mavic 2, obviously there are 2 models, the Zoom and the Pro, depending on what you wish to do the Zoom is probably better suited for video, the zoom function take away an element of risk, and the Pro while good at video albeit we need to get...
