    Another newbie question,DJI Go 3 or 4

    BearSwartz, I have a idea on how to keep the controller from charging the tablet, but I am going to have to try my idea out first before I can prove it and It shouldn't be a hard modification for anyone that wants to do it. Brian

    Thanks DanMan32 & msinger for the help, I have tried the step-by-step instructions with my Tab 3, but no joy. So I guess I will have to wait until I find something I can afford or just be happy with the cell phone I am using. Again many thanks for the help Brian
