I initially flew my MA with a Sony Xperia Z5 and it was fine, the phone had a big screen and it run djiGo4 perfectly.
I then got new Sony Xperia XZ2 as an upgrade It too runs the app just fine but has a slightly smaller screen so I decided to keep the Z5 for drone use and little else.
Then while travelling to the US I lost it. Doh. So have been using the XZ2 since but to be honest the old eyes aren't what they used to be and I was struggling to see the screen as well as I want. So time to look for a Tablet. I would prefer an Android but it is a total minefield identifying a current Android tablet around 8" that is suitable at reasonable cost. I have trawled this forum and other places for recommendations and much as I am really no Apple fan boy one keeps coming up over and over. The ipad 4 mini. As I had the (replacement) USIM from the lost phone ideally it would be LTE compatible too. This week I managed to get a great condition second hand LTE ipad 4 and having flown with it I honestly could not go back. I can finally actually see clearly the photo I am framing from the MA. If like me you are looking for a tablet to fly your MA from I can honestly say look no further. It almost hurts to say it but the Apple iPad4 mini is the tool for the job.
