Does  know if Lenovo M8 FHD (or HD) works with fly app. Also does this tablet have a compass sensor? Thanks

I am no expert on this first of all. But the specs I have found indicate this is a quad-core CPU and you probably need an octo-core for the MA2. Also, it doesn't seem to have a magnetic sensor (compass). Perhaps there are some more knowledgeable members here who can answer for sure. I would not take a chance on it.

Thanks for the info.

I tried the Lenovo M8 HD tablet and it kind of worked, but(!), it was very choppy and the tablet as a whole is very slugglish. I sent it back.

Thanks for the info. I ordered one, but canceled the order after getting more information on the tablet's performance. Based on your experience I was right to cancel.

You're welcome! After the Lenovo didn't work out, I tried the "Dragon Touch Max10 Tablet" and it will not show the video transmission from the drone at all. Black screen. Trying to find a tablet that works without spending over $300 (and still not knowing if it will work) is proving to be a frustrating endeavor. Good luck and let me if you find a tablet that works! :-)

We are in the same boat, that is looking for a good performing tablet at $300 or less.  If the price is higher then I might just go with the current smart controller when DJI gets it to work with the MA2, or wait for a new version of the controller. Anyway I will post a message if I find a good tablet.

On advice from forum member Mr. Motta,   I use this one, for $90 used, and it works fine: ASUS ZenPad Z8S P00J 16GB Wi-Fi + 4G (Verizon)

I do not use the phone features, WiFi only.

Thanks, your input looks like a good solution.  I will search the internet for a good used ASUS ZenPad Z8S P00J .

On Tuesday I purchased a ASUS ZenPad Z8S P00J 16GB Wi-Fi + 4G  for $120 on eBay with delivery on Thursday (very fast) and a 30 day return policy. I am anxious to try it. Thanks again for the adivise.

I use the Lenovo Tab M8 also for long days. And yeah, it works perfectly.

Can you let the forum know if the Lenovo M8 has a compass. Some flyers don't care, others like me use the orientation display which requires the mobile device to have a compass. Thank you

I received and setup the asus zenpad z8s p00j  and it works perfectly.  The orientation display works correctly since the tablet has both gps and a compass. I like that tablet's firmware loaded normally from play store and did not require a side load.  The image looks clear and smooth. The only problem is that the image is not super bright and on a sunny day the image is dim. Maybe a sunshade will help.
