I have noticed that the 'use your finger to control the gimbal' does not work with the iPad Mini2 and IOC is grayed out as well. Also, the failsafe altitude does not appear after you set the home point . All these features work with the Android App on a Nexus II. I want to make sure there is nothing wrong with my iPad Mini2. Any information and/or help would be most appreciated.

I use the iPad Mini 2 and haven't seen those issue with the new firmware.

hi, i have the same ipad and no issues too. I can control the gimbal with my finger. Just touch the screen and live the finger still for a couple of seconds until you see an blue circle.
edit: then you can move the finger

No issues with either of 2 iPad mini 2's
