Use P4 without tablet/movile

[volovent]

I just received my phantom 4 and as I have Ipad 4th gen (not included in the accepted devices for P4) I was wondering if it is possible to fly the bird in visual mode, without any device.

Thanks!

You'll need to use DJI GO to register your Phantom before you can fly it. After that point, you can technically fly without a mobile device. But, I strongly recommend you don't attempt it. DJI GO provides a lot of in flight information that can help keep you out of trouble.

+1 on that!

Then I need to change my Ipad for my first fly...

I don't see why it wouldn't work, doesn't it have the same specs as iPhone 6?

No. The original iPads are nearly dinosaurs now.

Duo core 1.4ghz processor
1gb of ram

Which is exactly what the iPhone 6 has

I guess it might look similar on paper, but they have a different chipset (A6X vs A8).

It should work! I also have one of the older iPad (not on the list) which I used in simulation mode and it worked. However, I haven't tried it in the field because it doesn't fit the holder––used my iPhone 6 instead.
I am awaiting an extension for the controller holder from Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019DI41HW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 –––to try in the field.

You should be able to as in the DJI Training Videos the guy shows how to enter Compass Calibration mode without having a device connect to the RC.

I agree though, I wouldn't like to fly without a device as it offers to much valuable information.

Try it, the worse you will see is some glitchy video.
