Just a heads up guys before you buy the Mavic Mini. The DJI Fly software will not work with a lot of the tablets that you probably own now that presently work with DJI Go and DJI Go 4 software. Essentially if you have a tablet which is running fine with DJI Go and Go 4 , its probably not going to work with the DJI Fly software.
The Einstein's at DJI decided that the Mavic Mini should have it's own software and not be supported on the current DJI Go software suite that all their other drones work with . The DJI Go and Go 4 software will work with no problem on a 32 bit Android 5 tablet and they work well.
Unfortunately the DJI Fly software requires a 64 bit tablet with Android 7. If it does not have either, it will not work. Even if you have these specs it may or may not work? This is very picky software. You will be lucky if you can get it to work.
When i asked DJI why the Mavic Mini would not work with DJI Go 4, their answer was some rediculous reply that it's a beginner drone. I suggested that they cold still use DJI Fly for beginners but to allow the Mavic Mini to work with the DJI Go 4 program also. They gave me the standard "So sorry, our engineers are working on it, we will get back to you." Guys, don't hold your breath on this one.
My only hope is that Litchi supports the Mavic mini soon so that our current tablets will work to fly the Mavic Mini. I am not about to buy a new tablet for this one drone! It's sad that we have to hope that a third party vendor supports a DJI drone so we can use the third party's software to fly with your current tablet
Guys, dont feel to bad. DJI does not even support their own tablet, the Crystal Sky. That tablet can cost upwards to $1000 for the 7.85inch. My 5.5 inch model cost me $600.
The bottom line is that DJI just does not care that it does not work. Oh well, to bad, time to buy another tablet. Its your problem and not theirs. Take a look at the angry guys including me under the Crystal Sky portion of this forum.
You had better learn early that DJI customer support is the worst in the industry.
Good luck and hope this helps!
