Mini 2 and iPad mini 4

[Greekislandlover]

Thinking of getting a Mini 2, and I'm wondering if my mini 4 will work with it? I already use the mini 4 to fly my Mavic 2 Zoom, so I'm not keen on buying more kit to drive it with.

Cheers

PS, looking on the DJI compatibility page DJI Fly- Download Center - DJI it says it is, but I know in the early days DJI Mini and iPad mini 4 didn't play nice, and I'm wondering if it's changed in later versions?

It will work. You’ll just need an adaptor so you can hold it in the controller.

Yes works good - just makesure you can download GoFly app OK
Also buy an additional remote cord as the one that comes with the M2 wont reach
And yes a holder extender
Mine is a bit floppy so looking at changing.

Hi, be careful! I have an IpadMIni, don't know how old but it worked ok to download the app and fly.. but then after a few minuites it says "CPU unit overloaded" and the Minipad closed down midair! So the Ipad was ok for the app but the CPU was to old. OR? It was ok to fly home w/o seeing anything on the screen.

I fly a Mavic Air 2 with an iPad Mini 5 and works flawlessly. There shouldn't be much of a difference, if any, between the 5 and the 4.

gotta have at least a mini 4 anything older and it wont have the CPU power to run the program

I had a Ipad Mini. Ok to download and start/use the app but when flying 2-3minutes the screen said "CPU overloaded" and then the Ipad tried to restart. Happend all the time. Scrapped it. Now use a bigger Ipad. Works great.

Can someone post a link for a cable to work with the iPad mini 5? From what I read, the default cable won’t work.

 

[Jovis]

Any usb C to usb C cable will do, but I have seen people say the shorter the better?
I'm using a 30cm one of ebay? works ok!

Yes works good - just makesure you can download GoFly app OK

The remote cord that comes with the Mini 2 is plenty long to reach the Ipad mini 4 or 5.

Mine is not, it reaches my iPhone but not my iPad mini 4 that’s fitted into the DJI tablet holder

I heard if you clear you video cache in the app, that helps. I saw the same on my iPad Mini 4.
