Several, plus the ones our drone club guys are tracking. Issue is pretty broad.
S3 2017 was fine until 4.2.20, little flakey with 4.2.16, but workable. Today unusable with 4.2.20 or .21
Great fast cpu, 4G ram, amazing screen, very bright tablet. Works best on 4.2.14. That's where mine as well as 7 others in our group using the S3 have remained.
S7. Same as others here. Blotchy video, and an "aircraft disconnect" when the app crashed. Rebooting did not fix it. Had to land, restart all devices to get it to reconnect.
Note 4. This is on their list of known working products. It doesn't work well with 4.2.20 +
Note 8. That one is fine. Hard to beat, and it is probably one of the most powerful devices on the market.
Rooted Asus TF700. Worked well up until 4.2.20+, but it works on 4.2.16 and older.
Nvidia Shield. Very popular tablet. Worked for many well over a year of having the MP, now many are having the exact same video transmission issues. Reverting to 4.2.16 is better, but something still is not right.
Tab A10.1. Worked great up until 4.2.20+
Some of these are the most common retail products at any electronics store, Amazon etc. Many are way beyond spec of the 705c that is recommended. That tablet is several years old.
Thing is, most of those older devices have not seen anything since Android 6. So the updates that are on some user devices from newer products are not being applied to these older tablets. A lot of these have been rooted as well.
Many flyers in our group are losing interest in DJI given these issues, plus the firmware issues of Mavic Air. Worst going on MP is the app disconnect and "aircraft disconnected" problem. Mavic Pro was always great for its connectivity, it's amazing range, and handling. Nowadays not so much. The guys in our group are not going to buying iOS devices to fix these problems. I already had a Mini4 I bought a while ago long before these issues. It too is getting a laggy and sometimes choppy feed. It's not even as powerful as the other devices above.
Hopefully, MP2 has a display right in the controller, and these issues go away for that product. If not, this could be a blow to the DJI house. Reviews are getting bad. |
