well my drone has arrived back from dji service.
seems to be a new drone replacement but of course murphies law has to kick in doesnt it.
I cant connect my phone up to it to try it out due to what appears to be a faulty usb connection in the phone.
i tried the tab a but of course its not compatible and cant fly with it. so still grounded till i sort out the phone issue.

Happy Days are here again... Or not.

Hope you get it sorted soon, so you can finally get back to flying.

That should be the last of your worries.

When can you acquire a more appropriate device?

The gimbal was faulty again.
Was getting gimbal overload errors gimbal motors were getting very hot. Erratic gimbal behaviour etc etc.
This time they have replaced the drone.
I did manage to connect one of my wifes tablets to it which seemed to work fine.
But it would be a big downgrade compaired to the s7 edge.
Got a quote from samsung to repair the phone at just over Aus$400.
Will be cheaper i think to buy a dedicated tablet that is compatible.

I use Litchi with a Ipad Mini 4 and works great in IOS, can't vouch as to use on Droids, I use Go4 App on my Android devices.

I use a galaxy tab S3 for my P4p and it's worked perfect.  It won't fit in the mavic remote without an adapter though.  This: https://www.amazon.com/gp/produc ... 1_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It works nice, but adds one more thing to do/assemble before flying.


I have an iPad Mini2 that I use with the Mavic but haven't always had great results.  I think the Mini4 would be perfect for the Mavic, but I think I'm done buying anymore iDevices.

After the 4.1.15 update , the ipad mini 4 showed very bad image transmission , the a8 chip couldnt cope anymore . Bought the ipad pro 10.5 inch. Works fine( but for how long?)

Wow.  Maybe another argument for not upgrading firmware/software if everything is working fine.  It makes one nervous about spending $$$ on a device that works just fine now, as it will soon be too slow to work after updates.

Yes nowadays , you really have to be carefull upgrading. Upgrading firmware is no problem, as you always downgrade again. But upgrading the dji go app is a different story

I have no experience or comments for android devices. But iOS devices seem to be best.

Good luck finding something reasonably priced. I would try Pawn Shops for good prices.
