    Flying in the Falklands

    Port San Carlos, was where I spent my time (Chinook detachment), was a good spot for heading west or north to spot penguins, and a good high range of hills to the north, (easy climb), but give a great view over that part of the islands. It has a landing stage, but I'm not sure of roads to get...

    Finally found a decent (compatible) tablet for a decent price

    I had a chance to use the Lenovo Tab 4 8+ yesterday in an uncharacteristically bright sunny May afternoon in the UK, and had no real problems seeing the screen data. Obviously, it isn't perfect and once or twice, i felt the need to shade it a little, but it certainly suits my needs as a leisure...

    Flying in the Falklands

    The official DJI spec seems to be a max of 22 to 23mph, but whether that would be safe is beyond me.

    Mine looks the same, but I do have a Mavic Air controller, not a Mavic Pro.. maybe that's the difference. I thought they had the same dimensions.

    Finally found a decent (compatible) tablet for a decent price

    I have a 4gb version, with 64gb storage (ZA2E0053GB). It's generally not available in the UK shops, but can be had directly from the Lenovo store, at about £50 more than the standard plus version (ZA2E0123GB). The standard plus version is 3gb. Btw, contrary to the OP, I found that it does fit...
