Thanks AJ. I'm using a Galaxy S8+ and have experienced no problems with it. The tabs you mention are probably still too expensive. I will only use a tab for the drone so spending several hundred pounds just for a drone screen seems a waste. My intention was to leave the tab connected to the phone which will be cheaper than buying a tab with a sim, and I don't want to be swapping sims back and forth.
Obviously the newer the tab, the more powerful the processor, but I'm not sure how much processor power is needed just to stream the camera. Apart from speedy graphics requirement, there is not a lot more to do. The DJI controller is doing the important bit. Hence my question about video lag. I'm hoping the older Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will suffice as they can be picked up easily for £40.
A good quality device should be your number 1 accessory - why spend over £1000 on a drone (nearer £2000 with added accessories) and only £40 on a device that may lead to you experiencing glitches in your transmission, washed out screens in sunlight, battery problems and shut downs on hot/cold days etc and not gain the full potential out of the drone. It's like buying a Savile Row suit but wearing a pair of flip fops with it because you don't want to invest in a pair shoes.
With regards to cellular - as I said, this isn't needed at all in flight. Cache the maps at home before heading out. |
