I've had quite the nightmare trying to find a compatible device and felt it needed to be shared here. I wanted a bigger screen than my phone screen, which I can hardly see at times, but which otherwise functions great (Galaxy S5). This visual issue, to me, means I can barely function at times. So I determined to get a tablet and thought that size of fitting into the slots on the controller was enough to be concerned with. I was wrong. I had no idea that Mavic's compatibility issues would be so horrible, let alone that there even were compatibility issues. I first tried it in my wife's Galaxy tablet S2 SM-T710. Everything worked great. She first offered to let me use hers but I didn't want to because I intend to be using my Mavic hard in the field and didn't want to risk messing hers up. So I went out and bought a Samsung Tab A. I loaded the software and once connected up, all it would do is flash repeatedly the message about making this the default connection. It would flash non-stop. I read the forums, tried everything contained in them and nothing worked. So I had to take it back. Then I started shopping for my wife's SM-T710 and in the midst of doing so, discovered that they had improved it and that the newer model was SM-T713. I set about to find the best way to get one and ended up getting one far away at a different Best Buy. I got it home, set it up, loaded the software, hooked it up and it began flashing the same message the same way as the Tab A had. I plugged in the SM-T710 and it still works great. I am infuriated but hope that someone can benefit from reading this. My wife is so shocked by all this that she isn't even willing to take over the 713 and let me have the 710, fearing that these may all be inferior machines because they can't run the DJI software. NO, it isn't that the machines are inferior, I'm really starting to fear that the Mavic Pro and its software are. |
