Ipad Mini Gen 5 Question

[Reelman67]

Yesterday while flying my M2P (warm day), started getting processor overload error message on my Ipad Mini gen 4 screen. First time ever since flying the M2P. I've read the cautions on this forum about flying with the Ipad Mini gen 4 and finally had it happen. So, my question is.....when I upgrade to the Ipad Mini gen 5, is there any advantage to getting a cellular model without activating the service? This model supports GPS whereas the standard models using wifi do not.

I have the iPad mini 5 Wifi and hate it because you can barely see the screen in day light. The brightness of the screen is too dark when I set it up all way to the maximum capacity.

A sun screen helps in bright sun conditions.

Apparently the Ipad Mini GPS hasn't been working with DJI Go4 and won't allow you to set a revised home point based on the Ipad location when the drone is in the air.
So it may not be an advantage at the moment to have built in GPS on the Ipad.

Did you turn off caching to the device on the Ipad Mini 4. as this saves on cpu processing ?

 

[Reelman67]

No, did not. Everything was working fine, until yesterday.

No, did not. Everything was working fine, until yesterday.

What changed yesterday, did you upgrade DJI Fly or IOS ?

 

[Reelman67]

Hotter weather, I upgraded iOS not long ago, but have flown successfully a number of times since.

Started flying sport mode a bit lately.

Took the plunge, bought the Ipad Mini 5 and life is good once more. No more processor overload errors. Confidence restored!
