Yes, and no.. You do need a connection to the internet for updates to the DJI Go app on tablet, as well as the drone itself. You do not need a connection to fly.

No you don't, because all you need is a phone or tablet that will connect an USB cable to the controller. As far as that you only need to have internet to download the latest software but yeah no need for wifi or internet.

You need wifi to download the app, but you do not need wifi after that.

Hello Tom. No you do not need wifi or a data plan to fly the aircraft. However if you wish to do a live broadcast from the camera to social media, you will need a data plan.

Hi Tom, Yes, if you don't have 4G, you'll need wi-fi to connect.

You do not need a data plan for the device you're flying with be it a phone or tablet. But it helps. If you can tether your device to one with a data plan you're good to go. For instance using a tablet that is connecting to a wufi hotspot created by your phone. If you load (cache) your maps using your home internet before heading out you dont need a data plan on the device you're flying with. You can fly without an internet connection but some features may not function properly depending on circumstances. Apple in their infinite wisdom does not put GPS in their tablets without a data plan version.

I'm pretty sure you don't need internet connectivity for anything but the google map overlay (if you use it) when flying.

No, it uses wifi as a signal but you do not need to be connected to the internet to be able to use
