First Drone

Hi
My son in law gave me a Mavic pro and I’ve been flying it using my iPhone but I’d like to use my iPad to have a bigger screen. Can someone tell me what I need to get and from where.
Thanks

You'd need an iPad Mount (look up MavMounts, I've used them for years). Then you'll need to appropriate cord going from your controller to your phone. You'll also need to download the DJI Go app that is designed or that model of aircraft.

Adding to what BigAI07 said.....you must download Go4 app from DJI. Go here:

DJI GO 4 - Download Center - DJI

At the DJI Download Center, learn and downloadDJI GO 4

www.dji.com

Good luck and have fun flying!

I have a Mavic 2 Pro and have been using my iPad Pro to fly it for 5 years (yes my iPad is that old). Like you, I wanted a bigger screen. I bought a MavMount. Then got the correct cable from Amazon. Hopefully you got all the original cables as DJI includes just about anything you may need. However, the included cables are not long enough to reach from the controller to the iPad.

mavic pro the grandpa of mavics is still a sound vessel and has great video and photo ability and with litchi missions they can go as far as the battery will carry it far enough to get you in trouble oh yea I guess I have the only 8 in e tab in the country that works well with mavic spark, inspire 1 mavic pro 2 in or out of the sun

Don’t get caught in the NAS without it. Good luck, have fun, learn and grow.

PHZ I will definitely look into this. I’m sorry but what is NAS please excuse my ignorance.
PHZ I’m only flying at my home which is in the country and I’m not flying it out of sight.

Thanks everyone for the advice, ordered this one from Amazon.

NAS - National Airspace System - This is ANY air from the tips of the GRASS until it becomes "SPACE". Even if you're only flying in your front yard you are governed by the FAA and their UAS Regulations. It's not optional

Take the TRUST and you'll be good to go for now.

Going clear out into left field, I suggest that to use an iPad with your drone, you acquire an Apple Lightning to USB cable measuring at least 3 feet in length, such that your iPad can be placed on the floor of an open shoulder bag with the sling around the operator's shoulder. The shoulder bag serves as a superb glare shield for your iPad screen on sunny days, and with the iPad's weight supported by the bag's strap and not by your hands holding the controller, arm fatigue is not an issue during longer flights.

I have used this method for years, and while my intently peering into an open shoulder-bag may raise eyebrows in public places, I usually fly my drone from my front yard, where I can look as unconventional as I please.

Hello, I use my iPhone 13 pro or the iPad Mini. Both work amazingly well. I' have debated getting a DJI controller, but why bother when the iPhone and iPad work just fine.
