More Tablet Discussion

[Angasan1]

I've combed over many of the discussions for best tablet options for MP and P4. Although many point toward iPad, the seemingly overwhelming choice for Android was Nvidia Shield... Since production has stopped for that option, is there a new ideal Android device for MP?

Have you check the thread Wundertablet which is the Huawei T3 Tab?

Yes, it is called iPad

I get it, seeking an alternative though. Would prefer a stand alone device for my MP, hate to spend on an iPad for it to be a stand alone.

There are some Nvida Shield K1 tablets on eBay. Glad I purchased one as it has a strong processor and works well with DJIGO4 , Lichti, etc. Make sure you are not buying the old version if you go this route as they were recalled by NVidia for a battery issue.

does the shield K1 fit in the controller?

Unfortunately not. It needs to use some 3 D printed S brackets. The Bottom of the S Bracket slips into the arms on the Remote Controller and then the Nvidia K1 slips into the top of the S brackets like this

There is also the DuoShade that provides a sunshade and will fit into the Mavic Pro Remote Controller.

DuoShade for Nvidia Shield K1 - for the DJI MavicPro, Phantom and Inspire

If you use an iPad, what is your screen brightness set at? I'm going to be using my MP mostly for still photography, and I want to make sure what I see on the iPad screen is darn close to what I'll see in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Any suggestions on what tablets to avoid?

I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab S (actually still do). I did all the settings as recommended and it was a no go. I purchased a newer Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 and it has been flawless. Great picture and no lag or pixelation.

I think that there are more that don't work than work. If you have one you are thinking of getting, research it and ask about it here, before you buy. A few people here, have bought stuff with out doing their research, when they connected it, it didn't work, then they got their nose bent out of shape because their Mavic doesn't work and blamed DJI and everyone else, but themselves. You are at the right place to get help.

I've been using a Lenovo Tab3 8 Plus as a dedicated tablet and it works flawlessly. Good screen, 2Ghz CPU, 3 GB Ram and GPS. Only downside is that it doesn't fit into the RC arms.

Although I'm most familiar w Android, I'm open to Apple products. I'm currently researching an iPad Air 2, either 32 or 64GB. Any ideas if this will perform up to the Mini 4?
