Air 3 RC-N2 With Ipad Air 2

[thechev]

I have an original Mavic Air and use an Ipad Air 2 with the Mavic controller. I am getting ready to purchase an Air 3 and would like to know if the Ipad Air 2 will work with the new RC-N2 controller. Thanks...

I have the RC-N1 controller and it works great with the iPad Air 2.
Find the short USB-C to Lightening OTG cable on Amazon.
Similar to this one.

Like all other Apple devices, it will definitely connect to the remote controller.

You're more concerned with the performance of DJI Fly, right?

It's my understanding that the RC-N2, like the RC-2, were designed to operate ONLY with the Air 3. Because of that, I am concerned that the older Ipad Air 2 tablet, which will not run IOS 15, might also not work with the new controllers because of the limitation of the Ipad Air 2 not being able to upgrade to IOS 16 and above. And, yes, would it perform all the functions within DJI Fly.

I will never again buy a controller that requires me to hook up an Ipad or Iphone. Smart controllers are the only way to go.

An iPad Air 2 might be getting a little old for running the Fly app. It's fine for Go4 but the Fly app is a resource hog.
