Hi,
First post, first drone. I have been looking all over and I can't find this info so I am hoping someone can give it to me straight. I am looking at getting a tablet to operate my new drone. Sorry, no Apple. I guess that leaves me Android since it seems no other O/S works. I have read and some have mentioned that not all of the features will work on the drone unless the controller is attached to a device that also has cell service, 4G. This of course would normally be a cell phone but I don't want to use a small 7" screen. I know there are some tablets that have wifi and 4G but is this really required? I wish the specs that are needed would be better than this info listed below.
Requires Android 5.0 or later.
Compatible with Samsung S9+, Samsung S9, Samsung S8+, Samsung S7, Samsung S7 Edge, Samsung S6, Samsung S6 Edge, Samsung Note 8, Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei P20, Huawei P10 Plus, Huawei P10, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Huawei Mate 10, Huawei Mate 9 Pro, Huawei Mate 9, Huawei Mate 8, Honor 10, Honor 9, Vivo X20, Vivo X9, OPPO Find X, OPPO R15, OPPO R11, Mi Mix 2S, Mi Mix 2, Mi 8, Mi 6, Redmi Note 5, Google Pixel 2XL, OnePlus 6, OnePlus 5T.
*Support for additional devices available as testing and development continues.
The issue with this list, these are phones. I should also mention that the Huawei brands are a no go too. What I see consistently from DJI is the device needs to have 4g and wifi but this is not necessarily true because many of you use tablets. I have been here, http://www.phantomhelp.com/tips/best-tabletsphones-for-dji-go.18 and I have looked at this list but again, no list of actual requirements.
Why can't I find a device actual requirements list that shows what the device must have to make use of all the drones functions? DJI must know what this is, they just launched a controller with a large screen built in. In the list it says it supports the new OcuSync 2.0 Full-HD video transmission technology, the DJI Smart Controller supports automatic switching between 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, reducing the influence of environmental interference on drone operation and image quality. This also ensures reliable long-range transmission at distances of up to 8 km. What do I need to make sure this will work?
In a nutshell, what are a tablets actual requirements to use all the functions of the drone? Do I only need wifi? Do I need 4G? Can we please produce a list of these requirements?
Thanks!
