    Got this mini to go with my Dji Mavic Air 2. I found that the phone screen was too small. This is a great solution.

    I love my new iPad mini. It’s the perfect size for watching my shows and movies! I just wish that Best Buy would have told me ahead of time that they limit the number of gift cards you can use for purchases. I had enough of them to pay for my iPad in its entirety, and I was told that they only allow 7 gift cards to be used. Those cards were birthday & Christmas gifts, and I had to pay the rest out of my pocket after the gift card limit.
