I use a 4 with no problems on a P4P
I would steer away from any iPad mini. The processor struggles to handle the data input and the video feed breaks up regularly. Go for a new iPad 9.7 inch. Works seamlessly and is cheap!Mini 4 has the A8 chip. quicker Mini 3 Mini 2 has A7 .
Mini 4 has the "non glare" screen...
I use a refurbished Mini 4 purchased at WalMart (sticker on box"new") .........Perfect........

Hello. I’ve decided to pick up a used iPad mini and it will almost exclusively be used for drone activities. It appears to me that the 3 is not much of an improvement from the 2. So I’m deciding between a 2 or a 4 (used). Is the mini 2 laggy or choppy at all with DJI GO? Thanks
Yes. The drone uses its internal GPS receiver to hold its horizontal position when flying with GPS assistance.I'm considering buying a new iPad, but it is only a wi-fi equipped iPad, without being a Wi-Fi & Cellular model will this not be able to use GPS, or will it still function in GPS mode ok
Like what kind of differences?will I see as a difference in flying my P4 standard?
I wonder which Phantom you are flying. I’ve heard that the Mini works fine up to Phantom 4 but not so good with Pnantom 4 Pro and on. My Mini began to struggle from the first update on my P4P Pro. Never got any better with subsequent updates. My 9.7 Gen 6 iPad is brilliant and has transformed my flying experience. And it was $200 cheaper than the mini!
THANKS MSINGER,Yes. The drone uses its internal GPS receiver to hold its horizontal position when flying with GPS assistance.
Without GPS on your mobile device, you will not be able to reset the home point to your current location or use the Follow Me flight mode. Those things require the GPS location of your mobile device -- and that's not available when the mobile device does not contain a GPS receiver.

I don't want to speak for msinger, but I'm sure that he was letting you know that you did not need a wifi with cellular iPad unless you actually had a need for the optional features he mentioned. Those optional features being follow me and also the ability to change the automatically set home point to your current location if you've moved from the take off spot.THANKS MSINGER,
I'm using an iPad 3 mini now with Wi-fi & cellular and even though the sim card isn't in it the GPS works perfectly with it, So I'll have to find a iPad 6 9.7" with Wi-Fi and Cellular , Thanks for the confirmation on that fact, the weather here in Northern Illinois has been so bad snowy and cold I think I'm beginning to get Cabin Fever.... Need to FLY....... LOL
Take Care and Happy Flying
