Inspire 1 and Ipad Mini4 having DJI Go issues

[BerndM]

I picked up an Inspire 1 that was missing the gimbal and X3 camera. These were sadly badly damaged during a bad landing but the drone survived fine. It flies well and as expected but obviously no video.
When I hook up my Ipad Mini4 which has the DJI Go app installed, and start up the controller and drone, the DJI Go app starts automatically and for about 5 seconds the normal navigation screen opens up and then drops out and returns to my Mini 4 home page.
A very quick warning shows on the screen just before the drop out. It alerts that there is no video found.
I don't care about the missing video but I certainly want the regular navigation screen to function.
Any clues what may be going on here?
Thanks

I found the Go App v3.1.1 (iOS) was the last stable, reliable version (for me, anyway). Android has always been sketchy (see numerous complaints in this forum). If you can borrow an iPad, try that.

Thanks for your response but I am already using an iPad Mini 4 running the DJI Go app.
I can start the Go app attached to the controller but the Inspire is NOT on yet and the "dashboard shows up fine.
When I turn on the Inspire, the Go app shuts down and I'm back the iPad's home screen.
My iPad Mini 4 has Auto Updates turned on so all the apps and the Mini4 are as up to date as available. the Mini4 is running v 15.8.4
I could not find any version info the the Go app.

You will find that legacy drones don't like today's "latest / greatest" firmware / software updates. I suggest an older iPad (Gen 1 Pro) with an older iOS (9, 10 or 11) with an older version of the Go App (v3.1.1).

Hi mate, what happens is that you have to uninstall the version you currently have and install it again but from the iPad mini 4 app store, since apparently when you don't use it much it doesn't understand that it's already installed and does that, try it and let us know.
