With my mini and the Fly app, I occasionally use a iPad Air A1474 2013 1st Generation. You say yours has 2 g ram, mine has only 1g ram and 16g storage. It works fairly well. Make sure all other apps are closed and it will save videos to cache and can edit downloaded videos in the fly app.

I've used my original iPad Air with my Mavic Air. It works. Can't see it in the sunlight even with a hood. Quit using it.

The DJI Fly app requires a latter iOS than the Original iPad mini can load.

Not sure that's correct I have ios 12 on my air

Dj fly suggests ios 10 and over

The original iPad Mini may not run the Fly App as you say. The OP was asking about his "old" iPad Air for his mini. Not sure if his Air is as old as my 2013 1st Generation iPad air. I run it on ios 12.4.6 and 1gig ram

Apologies yes mine also has 1gb of ram. I did a test link up today and the app ran and the drone connected. Does this mean it should work. I am concerned something might happen whilst in flight

My original (first model) iPad Mini will not run any iOS after 9.3.5. Some other first types of iPads were introduced later and will run a later iOS.

My iPad air works well with all my DJI (mini and pro) as well on my skydio
