Aloha matt,
There is an approved devices list for Android and iOS on the downloads page for the DJI bird you fly. You are on your own with iOS devices as I am not fond of them. But that is just me.
Android devices do have a vast variety and that can get confusing. As a basic guideline on getting a good tablet follow these suggestions.
The device should be no more than a year old. Software advances as fast as hardware.
Get a device with a minimum of 2 GB of RAM, preferably 4 GB. The apps get more and more complicated with each upgrade.
Check to make sure the device has a multi-processor for the CPU and a multi-processor for the graphics. A good gaming tablet is always useful for flying drones since they both require a lot of number crunching and high resolution video. The nVidia Shield K1 was the best you could get but is no longer sold. The next generation nVidia, the X1, was sold to Nintendo for their new consol. The K1 only cost $200 US.
Fortunately, the processors in the nVidia tablets are now available for tablets by other manufacturers. The new ZenPad from ASUS is quite powerful and for only $300.
Doing a Google Search for "the best tablets for 2018" will provide a real good list of very good tablets. They also provide the specs with each of the tablets so you can compare them to decide what you want. Keep an eye out for comments on how great they are for gaming. Those should pique your interest. Compare the specs and price. If a spec is confusing do a search for the spec and read up on it. You will be glad you did.
Hope this helps!
Aloha and Drone On! |
