I have multiple generation Ipads including minis. Any of the supported (by DJI) Ipad minis will work. Because of the processors some better than others. I notice that with my Ipad Air which I believe is the processing equivalent of the Ipad Mini 2. I would get some minor video refresh lag. But not horrible that it was unusable. I use an Ipad Mini 4 which is strictly dedicated to flying my DJI drones and have zero issues. I say dedicated, but sometimes when I travel, its the only tablet I bring so I have apps on it, music, pictures, etc...
