ipad compatibility with dji fly for mavic mini

[Jim Price]

I want to buy an ipad that will be compatible with djy fly for mini - - - the oldest, least expensive one that will work to be dedicated to flying mm

A lot of people have gone with refurbished ipad mini4 for using DJI apps.
I don't have a mini aircraft, but downloaded Fly app just to have a poke around the menus, and it worked great in that regard on my ipad mini4.

Something like this (first ad found) . . .

Whether you go for cellular or wifi only is another choice, along with storage size.
If only running the app and a few other drone related apps, you could get by with just ample storage.

There is a full list of suitable devices for the Go4 and Fly apps here . . . edit to remove incorrect text.

Hmm, I just noticed that there is no blue Fly dot on the ipads listed, not sure if it will work to actually fly the Mini ???

Anybody know for sure ?

In my experience that chart is not accurate.

Many thanks.
Seems that many of the iPads do work with the Mavic Mini and its DJI Fly app.

I got a refurb'd iPad mini 5 cellular, and have no issues so far.

I have an ipad mini 2 and just ordered mavic mini. Does anyone have experience with this? Do you think it will work? It works great with my mavic pro.

Ipad mini 4 works great for me.

And you have the mavric mini?

I'm using an iPad 2 Mini with no issues. I do get a CPU warning now and then but I see no issues when I get that.

Since the Mini had been discontinued, it looks like Skyreat no longer has an iPad holder for the mini. They look pretty scarce in general.

Any recommendations? Buying a mini 2 is not an option.
