Thank you for the information you have shared and thank you for your valued support.

I always thought that DJI always fills in the lists of compatible devices with its software...
And by the way, iPad mini is not fully compatible, as I gave an example in the post The main DJI Fly problems that need to be fixed on the iPad, DJI Fly does not work in full screen mode, only with a 2-fold increase in the built-in OS tools!

Hi. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for the additional information. With regards to the iPad it is not listed on the compatible device list. The said mobile device may work but we cannot guarantee the stability and compatibility when used with the DJI Fly application and DJI Mavic Mini. For the updates on the recommended mobile device list. I do apologize that I don't have the information, when the compatible device list will be updated. Rest assured that our DJI R&D are continuously testing multiple mobile devices to be added on the said list in the future. Again, I am sorry for the trouble and thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for sharing. Mini controller is not exactly the same but it's close enough that this should work.

Cheers!

Works great on my iPad Mini 2 with WIFI/Cellular 128GB (even though it is not listed in compatible devices list).

I've just installed it on the samsung tab s2 the revised t813 9.7" screen and has seemed to install fine, I've logged into my account fine but not tried connecting the mini yet, I dont see any problem though as the app seems to run fine and is full screen.
Not an expensive tablet I just got mine from CEX £125

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 (SM-T860) works fine with the DJI Fly app. I've been flying the whole day and haven't noticed any issues.

Hi,  are you still successfully using your S6 SM T860 with DJI FLY and the Mavic Mini?
I would love to know if they are actually compatible before i buy the tablet.  
I already bought the drone without doing my homework..
Thanks

I just setup a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (8.0", 2019) on android 9.0+ using the apkpure app HTTPS //apkpure.com/apkpure-app.html and their XAPK package HTTPS //apkpure.com/dji-fly/dji.go.v5/download and the app works great. video is smooth, no issues so far. It told me in the app store it wasn't compatible and i bought this tablet just for flying my drone, so i was annoyed at first. Hope this helps someone else looking for the same info.

When I purchased my new mini I had all intentions of using the LG V410 tablet that is sitting idle in a spare bedroom. Unfortunately, I soon realized that it was not at Android 6.0 and would not run the DJI Fly app. Thank to everyone on here (and several other sites) that offered tablet suggestions. After hours of research, spec comparison and price shopping for various LG, Samsung, Dragon Touch, Nvidia etc models I came across the (newer) Lenovo M8 FHD, which seems to have all the specs to make a great drone tablet; Android 9, 2.3 GHz processor, 3GB RAM, GPS, solid display and expandable memory. At $127 brand new, I'm thinking it's a winner- hoping that someone doesn't point out a glaring deficiency that I missed...

I purchase a Dragon K10 due to needing a HDMI output to live stream for work. I was disappointed to find it would not load the app “not compatible “. In messing with the tablet I put it in developer mode and turned on USB bedbug and it appears to work fine so far. I did have to download the app from dji site due to not appearing in the app store

Hello, I recently ordered a Dragon K10 from Amazon for $100 and I am to receive it today, so im  online making sure it should work and I ran across your post. So when I get it, it will say incompatible, but do what you did and it should work? Were exactly do I get the app from the DJI website? I do not see it yet? Also since you posted, have you had any issues so far? If it does not work, this will be the 3rd tablet that I have purchased that wont work, my first 10inch though and hopefully the last tab that I buy. .I have a Samsung A20 phone I'm currently using but recently it has started to over heat and the phone shuts the app off due to overheating, a few times I was out in the sun, but recently, I've been in the shade. I do have almost no memory left on my phone also. It seems to me that I need every app on my phone I have no app I can delete, so now I hope to have a 10inch dedicated tablet for my Mavic Air 2.

Or you can just get any tablet mount holder. like this random 20$ one and save yourself the headache of doing it yourself. But good on ya for being creative.

I forget how many times I have posted this....but here it is again. Just knowing it is a Tab A is not enough information. There are several Tab A sub models and some work and others do not. All I can tell you is that my Tab A model SM-T290 works for the Mini but not well for the MA2, even though both use the Fly app. Unfortunately the SM-T290 does not have an internal compass and that will limit the display features of the remote. I would not get one if there is any likelihood you will want to use it on an MA2 later.

My tab is T580.  I'm thinking that DJI is just another Chinese company selling crap to stupid Americans and the world.  We have been seduced with cheap crap until 75% of our RX is coming from them.  How damn stupid can we get?

DJI does not say that any model of Samsung Tab A tablets will work. If you get lucky and have one that does, good for you. But don't blame them for telling you they can't guarantee that.

I'm using an 8" tablet from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-8-Android-Tablet-16GB-Storage-2GB-RAM-1-3-GHz-Quad-Core-Processor-LCD-Display/985413352

with an 8" cable from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CKW6RYD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=mavicpilots-20

DJI Fly is working well and the tablet just fits into the RC holders. The longer cable is not stretched at all and fits inside the Flymore case while still connected to the RC with no stress on the mini USB connector.

For transport, the tablet is smaller than the case so a rubber band will hold it well. Thinking of adding a waterproof pocket to the outside of the case to hold the tablet better.

The Walmart ONN 7 inch tablet does not work as it's running 32 bit Android

You would expect any tablet to work that meets the criteria.

Well, no I would not expect that. You have to remember that the tablets were not designed with this type of use in mind.

So, I was using my iPad Pro as well as my iPad Mini 4 and things were working great...until I downloaded the latest version of the DJI Fly app AND the latest iOS from Apple.  I should have known better than to download both updates on the same day.  So I am not sure which is the problem.  But I can no longer do video editing on either iPad.  I can still edit videos on my iPhone.  But would really prefer to still be able to use my iPads for video editing.  

Anyone else seeing this?

Is DJI planning to address these issues in a subsequent firmware update?  

Please help!

Thanks!

I ordered the 8 and the 10.1 so I can see which one is better.  Worried the 10.1 might be too heavy.

7 tablets over here and none of them worked!

Interesting. I didn't find this thread until today; last week I got the same SM-T290 from Costco primarily for using with the Mavic Mini. Everything "works", but it takes the thing anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds (after the Mini connects to the controller) to display the camera feed, and I'm seeing severe latency problems, as well as very slow reaction time of the camera to changing light/dark conditions. None of this happens with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S9+), so I'm returning the tablet because I'd rather have an image I can count on than one that's bigger and slower.

That's not right. I see none of those problems with my minis. Are you using a tablet with phone hardware or WIFi only? Are you using airplane mode?

I never have turned off the WiFi, but I don't see how it would matter anyway.

Just to be clear, I do NOT recommend the use of a Samsung Tab A model SM-T290 for purchase because it has no internal magnetic sensor (compass). There are plenty of others with the sensor that will work.
