Can I use.......?

[The Kid]

2 questions actually.....
1. Will my Nexus 2 (2013) work with the Mavic 2, either Pro or Zoom.
2. If yes, does anyone make (sell) a bracket to hold the Nexus (or similar sized pads)?

Thanks in advance!

1. It's not a question of working with the drone.
It's the app that the tablet has to work with.
The Nexus 2? Do you mean the Nexus 7 (2013)?
The Nexus 7 (2013) was a good flying tablet in its day but that day was quite a while back.
The app has put on weight since then and needs a faster processor and more RAM to run properly now.

Ahh..yes...7, not 2. Thank you. Brain fade there! :/

So..what IS a decent tablet that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, to fly the Pro or ZOOM with?

T.K.

It *used* to work perfectly on the N7 2013. But Go4 has got more and more bloated and slower and is not a nice experience now trying it.
Which is sad - the software itself doesnt DO any more but its less optimised and therefore wont work any more.

oes anyone make (sell) a bracket to hold the Nexus (or similar sized pads)?

all great pictures above, now just look at this and compare the ergonomics:


in a real life situation it is just so much easier...

Would be nice if it was actually possible to buy one.

Many pilots have easy access to them these days. And you could certainly get your hands on them if you pay a little extra to get them delivered to your country.

 

[gnirtS]

if you mean by a "little extra" to be $200 then yes. Because that what duty will be into the EU on it. And get no warranty as a result.

DJIs supply chain seems to be a complete and utter mess.

If you really need a Smart Controller that bad and don't want to pay duty, then buy a Mavic 2 Zoom with Smart Controller package from DJI and sell off everything else on eBay (or here). You've been ranting a lot in many threads about not being able to buy a Smart Controller. It's really within your reach if you want one. You just gotta do a little bit of work to make it happen.

No probs. Just received today via German agents for Europe the whole lot! Mavic pro2 with HAsselblad camera, smart controller and full fly more kit with 2 extra batteries and a super carry case for all the extras. Total cost £1712! Ordered 3 days ago only.
