Huawei Mediapad m5 lite 10" - Perfect for Mini2?

[photo2be]

Hi. I just guess that there are quite many of you who have used Huawei mediapad m5 lite 10" for a while now. Pls let me know, should I buy it or not? YES or NO! Does it have compass and does it work w/o crashes. If you DON'T recommend Huawei mediapad m5 lite 10", pls tell me why and if possible what should I buy?

Both the 8 and the 10 M5 Work great but I would not be to concerned about the compass .
The go to is still the Ipad but for the price I think you will be happy.

I am using Huawei mediapad M5 ( not lite version) and it is perfect. Be sure that there is compass sensor.

MediaPAd M5 8 and 10 "does have compass. MediaPad M5 Lite 8 - does not have compass, 10'version Lite - have compass. (SO do NOT buy MediaPAd Lite 8")

I have the M5 lite 8" and it is also a good tablet for the price and can handle both the GO 4 and Fly apps. as it has 3 GB of RAM.

Thanx Yogi, does the compass work? Can you easily see the direction of the Mini2?

 

[Yogi053]

You don't get the compass in the 8" tablet, but I just download an offline map of where I want to fly and I see the blue triangle representing the drone and use that for flying directions.
IF it fails then I'll just stick my phone on the RC and use that. But, I'm quietly confident!

Yogi,

Do you mean that I have to download a new map for every new area I want to fly in? Or switch to phone? No thank you.
Seems that a Huawei 10" will work for my purpose.

The 8 " clear version, not the Lite, does have compass, you can take it....

Video not embedded. Anyway, I fly mine as is and can always fly back to home point. Suits me.

I have the M5 8.4" and it works perfectly, having used it with my Air1 and now my Mini 2. Not too sure about the compass part of it though as I have never needed this facility as I always keep an eye on where my drone is relative to home point and if I can't pinpoint it accurately I just initiate RTH until in sight then pick up where I left off. Brilliant tablet and in my opinion so much better value than Apple and I personally hate the wy Apple locks everything down and their security measures are a joke as is their file system and saving stuff to the cloud. Give me Windows and Android any day. Must add this is my personal opinion and I realise that there are millions of people who love Apple products. Buy Huawei and you won't go wrong.

You mean you fly for fun and stay within the regulations like me! Well! I never!
