So I got a used ($30) 10.1" ONN Walmart tablet from Ebay today. I just rooted it and installed DJI FLY v1.16 no problem. I don't have a USB-C to Micro-USB cable so I can't see how it is going to work right now but I sure like the gigantic screen and FLY is running very smooth and fast!
No, not for flying. Cell would only be needed for map, if map not already downloaded into tablet.

I've been flying my DJI Spark with a 10.1" Samsung s6 lite tablet. Works great, but the balance is a little weird between remote/tablet. My new MA2 is still in shipment and I haven't gotten to try my setup with that new remote control yet.
Having such a big screen is nice, but remember, you have to hold on to that contraption for long periods. Hopefully, it will work with my lanyard to assist with balancing. We'll see....if FedEx ever arrives. (it was due in yesterday)

I was going to say "but your wallet might not be", but I see the prices dropped significantly.

UPDATE: After much research on my side and considering this is for flying and outdoor use I have chosen to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tablet S5e. I believe after many site reviews the display is simply the best for this use and it has the required OS and supporting features such as compass, etc, etc.
Lets see in real life now.

Make sure your processor runs ARM at 64 bit
I have a mint condition Ipad mini 5 with cellular that I want to sell so that I can buy a Tripltek
Galaxy Tab A 8.4 2020
No compass but got it free from Rogers in Ontario with data so maps everywhere map works it has gps. Only thing is the tablet will not point to drone in maps but it tracks and shows path
Really nice size and price was right

I'm REALLY glad to hear that! I'm about to pull the trigger on a MA2, and that's the same tablet I have (in the 10" version). I'll be a happy camper if it works out!
I fly the MA2 using a Samsung S5e, it does OK even out in the sun.UPDATE: After much research on my side and considering this is for flying and outdoor use I have chosen to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tablet S5e.

They released the Flymore Combo with the SC option just after my return period expired. I still haven't taken my Air 2 out of the box, even though I bought it on Dec 26. Thought about reselling it on EBay and repurchase to get the heavy discount on the smart controller, but even then the SC screen seems a bit small. Saw the video 51Drones did on the Tripltek tablet and he seemed to like it.
