        *and any newer Apple mobile devices not mentioned in this list. 

        Android

        Due to a large number of Android device manufacturers, a definitive list is unavailable. MGC requires Android 5.0 or greater. We recommend using Android devices with a minimum of 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of Storage, and that are newer/have better specs to minimize performance issues.

        The MGC Mobile App is also compatible with the following DJI devices: 

        • DJI CrystalSky, DJI Mavic 2 Pro Smart Controller, DJI M300 Smart Controller, DJI Cendence Controller + CrystalSky
        • DJI RC Pro Remote Controller
          • The RC Pro Remote Controller is supported, but MGC currently does NOT support the DJI Mavic 3 nor the DJI Mavic 3 Cine. The RC Pro Remote Controller can only be used in MGC with the Mavic Air 2S. Please note the Mavic Air 2S is only supported in Manual Flight.

        For DJI Devices, MGC must be installed via the Amazon App Store. Click here for further instructions.

        Unsupported Devices:

        • Non-ARM CPU-powered devices, (e.g. x86, x86_64, MIPS, etc.)
        • Phantom 4 Pro+/Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 controllers with integrated screens. Please use a regular controller + mobile device if you are using a Phantom 4 Pro/Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 drone.

        If you are using the oldest supported or a lower-end iOS/Android device, you may experience degraded app performance and device overheating, particularly with long flights, and if your device overheats.
