just check what os version it is running or just give it a try to load the app

It appears to be working, I have IPad mini 2 Retina and so far so good, but I didn't do a lot of flying, just tested indoors. The app however is not yet optimised for the screen, you have to enlarge the app and the resolution isn't great. I hope they will fix it with the update.

Apparently its new and not opened as it was giving gift from her work, would u upgrade the ios or leave as whats on it? I heard some ios upgrades could be worse ?

I always keep it updated and it’s running on the newest Ios .. It’s definitely 12 something as Ipad mini 2 is to old for ios 13..

Guess only way to test it is try it? Could I chance crashing it from in the air?

Hopefully not but take my advice at your own risk, It’s my first drone ever and I have about 15 minutes of flight under my belt , I tried it on iPhone 6 too as I had one gathering the dust, it’s on the same ios and I had no issues.. I don’t want to use my own phone for flying because of the phonecalls, battery drain etc so It is nice that both devices work, I just restored them to factory settings, removed all the apps and intend to use them only for flying..

Got the info where I can buy cable?

the one that is included is too short, you need at least 25cm if you are planning to use the ipad with the controller without any additional holders etc...(just in case you don't know, Ipad mini 2 fits nicely in the controller arms, fells balanced and comfy) the good thing is that they are super cheap, you can find one on ali for around €3 and something like €6 on amazon..

The other Mavic remotes have an A port on the bottom. Mini does not so you have to use side Micro port with OTG adapter or dedicated cable. I bought an adapter so I can use any cable I want.

Tested iPad mini 2 with most up to date firmware and it works (indoors), you’ll definitely need a different cable as stock DJI cable does not reach.

This 12" RCGEEK cable is one good option. It's what I'm using with my Mavic Mini.

Hi. Being a little wider, does the mini 2 fit as well as the 4 in the RC slots?

The iPad 2 is a dinosaur - be prepared to have nothing but trouble. But if you don't mind wasting time sorting through the issues then go nuts.

Are use the iPad mini 2 with the Mavic mini without any issues.
For most applications it seems to be as good as the mini4

My Mavic pro seems to prefer the fire processing speed of the iPad mini 4
