Just got my DJI Mini 4K yesterday, first time flying a drone. Today, I’m trying to figure it out and realized I need to connect my phone to the remote and have the DJI Fly App installed, which isn’t available on the Google Play Store. My work phone won’t let me install apps from outside sources. I’m checking with my IT friends to see if there’s a workaround, but not feeling too hopeful. Is there any way to fly this thing without the app? Or if not, can anyone suggest a cheap Android tablet that works? Hate the idea of buying extra hardware just for this… might end up returning it if I can’t find a fix.
Can you use a personal phone?

I should’ve mentioned, I only have my work phone, no personal one.

Maybe look into getting a cheap Android phone, like $50-$100?

Yeah, I’m checking that out now. I also remembered I have an old 8-inch tablet—too big for the controller, but I’ll test it out. If it works, I’ll grab a cheap 7-inch tablet.
Unfortunately, you have to have a device that can run the DJI Fly App. No way around it.
