I have just purchased a Mavic Pro Platinum Combo and could really use some help here. I have just upgraded my phone to a Samsung A51 and the DJIGo4 software seems fine. I haven't actually flown the Mavic yet (I am a seasoned RC and Whoop flyer and so that is not an issue) as I was intending to buy a DJI Smart controller. Then after I purchased the drone I discovered the Smart controller doesn't work with my model.
So I then watched a guru on youtube who said that the iphone is rock solid as a controller (for obvious reasons) and that I would be better off having a dedicated iphone rather than a phone running loads of apps. I totally get that.
So here is my current dilemma... my new Samsung A51 will probably be fine but I have noticed that when I run the DJIGo4 software there are a series of icons on the very left hand border. Because the screen display is edge to edge it is difficult to touch these as the controller phone mounting arms almost cover them when the phone is mounted.
This doesn't seem to be a problem on the iphone as the screen starts inboard from the edge allowing you to touch the who program area.
So I have figured I would buy a second hand unlocked iphone from eBay (I have seen and iphone 7 plus around £200) and dedicate it to the drone.
Here's my main question???
Can you put me straight please... If I get an iphone dedicated to the controller and the Mavic Pro Platinum will I lose any functionality if I don't have a sim card in it? The reason I ask is because I don't want to pay for another phone contract.
Also which would be the best iphone model to get?
