My question about using the 9.7 inch is really about how it will feel attached to the mavic controller. I'm not confident in that being an everyday solution for me.
And you're right. Mixed results doesn't give me a level of confidence to make that purchase.
its awkward. i tried it with my GF's iPad air 2..3..9000...or ..idk what apple calls it to be honest.. its top heavy and awkward on the smaller MA/MP/Spark controllers. not as awkward as using iPad pro 12 inch however, that's unwieldy as all hell, but fun..
in term of do i recommend ipad mini 2. no, but not because of lacking performance, it isn't, specially clean install no background tasks and just drone apps, perfectly usable.
here is 2 reasons why i say no to the mini 2:
1. screen, this is by far the biggest issue i have encountered with the mini 2.. even if not direct sun light, just bright sky can make it hard to see exactly. this is because the mini 2 uses non laminated display so there is a little gap between the glass and the LCD which means terrible in outdoors..
2. battery life, not terrible definitely will outlast flying sessions, but compared to other ipad options, its fairly weak life because how hard dji go 4 app is hammering resources nearly pegging out your CPU/GPU. this also means several hours on the plug if you drain it down..
i recommend mini 4 or ipad air.. 2 3 4 5 whatever they are on now, just avoid the non laminated new ipad..non air...? (plz help me...apple u suck at naming)
