It will work stand alone. I have the mini4 with no phone capabilitiesI have had Android phones and PC only - never Mac or Apple. I use my Samsung Galaxy 9 when I fly. So here is the dumb question.
If I use an iPad strictly for flying my MA does it have to be connected to a service provider or does it work as a stand alone ?
What modelof crane do you use to hold this with??This is my setup in my iPad Pro 11" with my Freewell tablet holder for Mavic Series
Apple do not allow any 3rd parties to use their OS on devices ... nothing to figure.DJI has said it. Box says designed for Apple. But then again, crystalsky & their new smart controller are Android based, go figure. They say one thing (Apple) & do another (Android) so where do they stand?

Intriguing idea. I never thought of doing that.I made a small saw cut (used 4 hacksaw blades together) in the bottom of the remote (in the plastic) and this allowed the arms to open further. This allows you to mount the Ipad mini 4 on the bottom of the remote and holds it good. As you can see it even lets me mount it with the cover intact.

Cause the steel part of the remote arms will not open wide enough to accommodate the ipad (due to the plastic sides of the controler). The plastic end of the arms are not the ones restricting the opening of the arms. The realquestion is why DJI does not think about this when developing the 2nd edition of this drone, not to mention the Air and Spark that use same type of controler. My method to solving this problem, without reinventing the wheel, was to keep it simple and use my mini4 for a bigger display then the 5" phone.Intriguing idea. I never thought of doing that.
I just looked at my controller, and I wonder why you chose to cut into the body rather than just trimming off the end of each plastic controller arm? That would seem to be less destructive.
Another approach would be to replace the two metal plates that fasten each arm to the body, and make them about 10mm longer. Yes, the controller arms would no longer fold completely into the base, but that probably makes no difference for most storage setups. What's more, that mod would be completely reversible. It looks like you'd only have to remove two screws on either side.
Cause the balance and trying to use the control stick under that big mount is to say the least....Awkward!. Bought one tried that. What damage??? 2 small saw cuts on my controller. same as the 2 units of my Mavic Pro that I bought, used , and sold for $700 each.Why not just use a mount? Less than $20, no damage & can use phone, mini or full sized tablets.
Same here! MUCH better than my iPhone X...I had a mini 2. The processor couldn't keep up with the app. It was OK when cool, but in hot weather I got "cpu overload" errors. So, for the smaller "mini" ipads, you probably need a 4 or 5 (latest).
I just replaced that with an iPad Pro 6th Generation - 9.7" display. This is the latest full-size iPad. I have used this a few times and the flights were flawless. I also LOVE the larger size. I bought it new for $249 on amazon.

In the app hit "play" button bottom right....and it actually lets u download full resolution file 4k and 1080p ....so just click on the video after hitting play button in dji go 4 and u will see an arrow bottom right of video hit that .....android only lets u download up to 1080pI'm new to iPad too, just picked up a "open box" 6th generation. Haven't even flew with it yet. Been using a Galaxy Tab 2 so far. So how are you downloading to the iPad?
I used Android for a very short time, and all I have is samsung, love it. However iPad mini 4 in my option is the best. I don't have a GPS on mine for reasons. The only problem I live In florida, heat. I built a styrofoam holder out a small lunch box ice in it problem solved. Apple has the best format for dji. Happy flyingI thought I would look for a used iPad just to see if one is as good as the Android tablet that I use for my display.
I am now totally confused by all the different versions & generations of versions.
What do you Apple fans recommend ? bearing in mind its only use will be for my display screen.
At the moment I use a 10” Samsung table with a none reflective screen, I have no problems with it but thought am I missing out on something by not going with Apple.
For those of you who use an iPad I would appreciate some advice.
I have a dumb question here. I am looking at buying the 7th Gen. Do you need to have an iPad with Cellular data to use it?I had a mini 2. The processor couldn't keep up with the app. It was OK when cool, but in hot weather I got "cpu overload" errors. So, for the smaller "mini" ipads, you probably need a 4 or 5 (latest).
