Hello, I have a new P3S...  first hover yesterday. So impressive! Need to find totorial for complete DJI-Go aircraft menu configuration and  switch set-ups. I can't find the page that lists moble devices compatable with DJI Go. My upgrade is a 10" tablet, but can't find a suitable  device holder that fits the P3S controller. Any ideas? Thank you for your support and I can't wait to give back.

Have you downloaded DJI GO? If yes, there are user manual and tutorial video in APP, you can learn first. And below is the recommended list of P3S for reference:

You can get the tablet holder for the P4 controller from Amazon, you need to make a small hole in your controller to mount it, but there are several videos on YouTube that outline this simple mod. I have had one fitted for some considerable time for my 8" Tablet without issues.

I found an artist easel at a yard sale for $2, works great with my 10 inch HP tablet.  The tablet gets tiresome if I mount it to the RC.

I used to always use a ipad. I had printed my own bracket to mount it on a camera tripod.

Only a few months ago I gave my sony z3 compact phone a go in the supplied holder and have found that even though it has a small screen compared to the ipad it is still just as usable but more portable.
I think you would fond the 10" tablet a bit heavy but some people just have to have a bigger screen.

I just wish there was an easy way to have it on two screens at the same time. My 5year old is always sticking his head in trying to see what I am looking at.

Not to worry, he also tells me off if I try to look while he is flying as well.

I use the supplied lanyard with my iPad Air 2, weight is not a problem.

I think DJi needs to update what is compatible with their drones.  I just bought a P4Aadvanced and also bought an Apple Ipad.  It is not in the list but works great, although it just barely fits in the holder, and may turn out to be a little on the heavy side.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I don't need a easel of a holder lol. I ordered the P4 holder. I'm going with a 8" android, GO app icons are to small and very dim in sunlight on a 4.5 phone. And I wrote down my version of the GoApp as 3.1.6 and the aircraft controller as 1.9.20 I since heard newer versions are  out. My status says I have the Latest Updates. The update icon is dead to respond. Should I worry? So Thanks for reaading all this.

I am running the Galaxy Tab S3 and It has been Flawless has a great processor and plenty of Ram. So far zero issues with lag even in fast flight. I was using my S8+ phone but the display is so small and my eyes not so good anymore I also had a hard time touching any of the DJI GO features the Tablet solved that issue as well.

Thanks... watched videos, is there a back nut for inside controller or does the nut just seat it self in the plastic.

If you decide to do the mod make sure to follow the instructions to the letter with the drill bit sizes because yes it does only thread into the plastic. I did mine and use it with an IPad Pro 10" and it works great. One thing I do is I loosen the tilt screw before I fold it down as to not "stress" the threads. It comes with a little screwdriver that works well.

Use the bit size stated in the videos and you will find the knurled nut will make it's own thread. I added a liberal amount of hot glue on the underside as belt and braces just to give it some 'meat' to bite into.

Thanks for your feedback. I will forward this request to our engineers.
