Will this device allow me to use my ipad mini to watch a movie once my ipad battery is low or gone? I want to use it on a long plane ride.

I believe it will add 6 hours to the usage for an standard IPad but probably more for the mini :)

It took my full size ipad from 10% back up to 80% before the powerbank was empty. so presumably it might do even better with your mipad mini? If your ipad mini lasts for 5 hours say while watching movies on its own battery then presumably the powerbank would power it for around a further 70% of time so that would be 3 and 1/2 hours? I'm guessing as I don't know how long you can currently watch movies on your ipad mini.

Yes, it will act as a power source just as if you had it plugged into your computer or a wall outlet. It is a great accessory on long plane rides.

I have used this device with iPad Air and older versions of iPad,found no problem. But I have not tried it with iPad Minis.

It was allowed on the plane. It was in my laptop back with 2 extra hard drives. That being said I am not sure it is any different than a laptop battery and i would explain it as such if questioned. As to capacity, it extends the life of my wife's new ipad by about 3 hours ( playing some game with screen on bright ) and recharges her phone once.

NO, the device sends out its own WiFi signal. I've used it with two IPADs watching different movies at the same time, where there was no WiFi signal.

Way too little power, and I doubt anything less than a battery that advertises being able to run an iPad would work. Keep in mind that those backlights suck up a ton of power, so expecting it to run off something as small as a iPhone or iPhone rated battery just won't work.

No don't try it -doesn't stay charged as long as you wish! If you could use it the airplane mode will be best to save usage hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!

It's Bluetooth, so will connect with any other device that recognizes BlueTooth. Assuming the iPad mini is Bluetooth ready, it should work just fine

Sorry, I do not have the iPad mini and cannot help answer your question. I use it with my MacBook Pro.

Yes, although you'll need a power source as the battery won't hold for the whole trip. Unless your flight is less than an hour. Sorry, we hated this device.

Yes you can! What I do to watch movies from my RAVPOWER, I store all my movies into 32GB Micro SD card and I configured with RAVPOWER app which is the AirSTor and I pick or select movies that I want to watch from store folder and I play it with my IPAD or android device. I have a IPOD Air and Samsung galaxy and I click the AirSor App and play my movie. I have this for almost month and I have no problem to connect directly ( Private WIFI) into my IPAD or android what so ever.

Mirroring doesn't work properly with some apps, so the movie will be running on my iPad and the external display at the same time and that does use up the battery faster. I tried to fix this but I think it's something within the particular app that controls the mirroring. Hope this helps.

I think the answer would be no! The iPad mini has a lightning connection, not a mini display port connection. There should be a way to get a lightning to hdmi adaptor though.If you have an Apple TV you can wirelessly display most video content through AirPlay. So another possibility.

Yes, only if you don't carry the little cooler in it. The iPad mini might not for, but the rest will.

I don't have an Ipad but I have an Ipod touch that I use for Podcasts and Audiobooks and it works fine with that because it plugs into the earphone jack. I have a tablet on which I watch video and tried that. It really is the same when the device is plugged into the audio jack so that you could listen to the movie while it was playing on your Ipad and it would come through the car speakers. I guess I never thought of watching a video because that would be difficult while driving. If your thinking of better sound for a passenger while watching a movie that would work. Hope this helps. i use mine all the time and I've had it at least 5 or more years.

Please check with your airline. Some do not allow devices such as this. I found out from a flight attendant who was adamant I turn mine off.

It does not work with an iPad - "takes too much power" so I guess it wouldn't work with other small devices you mentioned.

It can connect to the I phone via an "iPhone HDMI Video Out Cable" which is about $40-$80. You will not get everything you see on the screen out, unless the phone is jail-broken. So unless you have a very specific purpose for using your phone than its almost not worth the trouble for the limited usage capability. Also I would not rely on the built in battery as it is half as bright and wont last the full length of your average movie.Works great on a laptop though!
