Hello everyone,
So this was going to be my first Drone and I fell in love with the DJI Mavic Mini, watched YouTube video after video and thought yes, that's the one for me, perfect for my photography passion. I was just about to click the Amazon button when started to discover problems users have loading the Fly App being very fussy and only seeming to work if you have a new up to date phone. Surely not I thought, so tried my trusted and still very potent Galaxy Note 4 32bit, Lenovo 8" tablet 32bit and finally Huawei 12" tablet 64bit, not any of my hardware would load the app, even after side install. This is not good and loathed if I'm being forced into buying a new phone just to fly this drone. The marketing is dire and surely there must be many people like me in this position so why do Mavic make such ridiculous limitations such as this. As for my final option I thought I'd ask on the forum before giving up with this to see if I'm being the idiot and is there an easy solution to this and if not what drone would others recommend sub £400 with good stills photography ability, answers would be very much appreciated.
