[offtheback]

Have an Ipad mini software up to date.Flying with M2P and screen freezes.Temp low 40's.I wait a bit and go to home screen+relaunch Go4 app.Still no feed for a bit and usually within a minute comes back.128 GB storage capacity with plenty storage left.Thanks for your help!

have you closed all other apps in background?

And - have you tried removing the USB connection on the side of the controller, and using your iPad charging cable from the USB2.0 on the underside of the controller instead??

In that case, have you got a different USB cable you can try? The only things you can do here, is isolate the component that's the problem. If you change the cable and the problem's still there, then you have to conclude that there is an issue with the iPad. Have you got access to another phone or tablet to try and see if the problem goes away?
Low 40's [Fahrenheit I assume], is just about freezing, so something else you might want to try, is leaving your iPad running in a freezer for half an hour and see if that causes issues with it? It might be that the low temp' is the problem ... Mind bare fingers on the screen tho'!!

Likely not.Here's a link provided kindly by Mike Singer of Phantomhelp.com Install DJI GO on an Apple Tablet or Phone (Step-by-Step Guide) I checked mine with this and had over 50% of those setting suggestions set wrong for the DJI APP(normal things you do on the Ipad are ok but the DJI app sucks a lot of processing power) Another great forum to ask is DJI FORUM Happy flying

Mini 4 is most popular and found most stable. Below 4 is usually not recommended.

I use a Mini 4 on an MPP, 240 flights, down to 22 deg F... no problems ever.

Flew today+had a few freezeups.Did all the settings suggested in the link above.Next I'll check it with a phone+see if it does the same.

New mini 4 or a new "refurb" ? there is a lot of old refurbished 2's and 3's showing up as of late.

New 4 not refurb

I use a mini 4, and an ipad pro 9.7". Both work great. The pro is faster of course because of its hardware, but the mini 4 works fine. I have dedicated both of them to drone use only. I removed every app that i could so that the only things running are my dji go app and what is absolutely required by apple. These pads are used for absolutely nothing else. No youtube, no netflix, no amazon.... nothing but dji go 4, airmap, and letchi are installed... this way there is nothing running in the background to interfere.

My ipad air has MANY things installed on it, It is used for lots of things and it works without fail on the Mavic.
