Using An iPad Mini W/ DJI Mavic?

[teslar]

Looks like a good cable, a little on the long side though, 20".

0.2M is about 8" I think you misread [emoji2]

Here is everything you need to know about Mavic and tablets. Also he has links to his cable and other items

Thanks for the video, unfortunately as suggested it seems they may have slightly tweaked the design of the controller so the ipad mini 4 no longer fits as shown here.

Wow that is a great feature to lose. I actually just measured my cable and it is 8.5 inch's long. I also had to do the trick to deemed down the area to avoid the sports mode. That is interesting to see that slight change. I would like to see a sticky poll asking how many are affected with this.

Sorry, my mistake. The link took me to amazon.ca (weird) and that cable is 20", the cable you linked on amazon.uk looks perfect.

Wow, now I have to wait until next Saturday to find out. I almost just ordered a Mini 4. Anybody have a way to show the two controllers show we know which one we have?

so does the iPad mini need a cellular connection? Also will a first and second gen iPad mini work?

I think the tweak may be to stop the holding arm hitting the sport mode switch, mine can't hit the switch but it seems some can, wish they'd moved the switch instead!

Betting it's something simple, like a stop of sorts. If so, perhaps it can be modded to open up a bit more.

I figured that too, however appears to be the main casing that is limiting, could cut into it but may look at other options first...

Just to correct this, I have an iPad Mini 4 with a newer controller and it fits in the controller just fine, (my Mavic arrived 12/5/16). Also it does not interfere with the Sport Mode switch at all. I can switch modes back and forth easily with the iPad Mini 4 attached...

I just used a dremel and made a little notch and no issues about the sport mode switch anymore.

Awesome, Thanks

Can someone with a mini 4 verify you can see the screen out side in the sun [emoji295]️?
Thanks...........

Well it definitely isn't the case with mine, will be intrigued to hear if others have the same issue moving forward.

Could you show the issue with yours?

It's as simple as having fully extended both arms the mini 4 won't fit in the gap, it's only a few mm shy but enough that I don't want to push it as I would be concerned it will bend or break something. All the videos seem to show them slotting in with no issue at all so it seems odd and before I'm asked it is 100% a mini 4 I have.

Thanks, yes seen this before, mine can't physically touch the switch as in this video which is why I suspect a design tweak...
