Yes.

If you're interested in buying an Nvidia Shield K1, you can usually find them at a good price here on Amazon.

I'm using the K1 tablet running the latest android 7.0 and the DJI GO 4 app. It works fine. Only on one occasion a few days ago the app crashed and needed to restart. Mavic hovered and I still could fly with the RC. When app came back online link was reconnected.

Does the Shield come in a version with a SIM slot? Not wanting a WiFi only tablet. Also does the K1 fit within the Mavic Controller brackets, or do you need a separate mount?

I don't think it has a SIMM slot and it will only fit with either a slight modification or an adaptor.

doesn´t have a sim and u need a separate mount, i have one.

Thanks, so I would just need to tether it to a device with cellular access if I wanted it to have an internet connection out in the field. Such as I thought. How do you like the display for flying in brightly lit conditions? I heard this was the best option.

The apple mini 4 and pro are better than this in the sun, however for those of us who do not do apple this is one of the best choices; ensure you do not update the firmware to 7.0, nougat is having issues with GO 4 app right now, keep it at 6.0. or 5.0.1. Mavmount makes a good holder for the shield.

Great to know. I really am more of an IOS guy but I'm getting terrible results with my iPhone 6 plus. Like it's almost impossible to see, even with the brightness maxed out, a sunshade and standing "just so" with my back to the sun. I'd really rather not spring for an Android device if it's not going to make a pretty dramatic improvement.

I have the shield, and with the matte screen protector and a huge sun shade box it is decent but if you are already into apple I would not switch. We are having a lot of difficulty with the GO 4 app right now. I am actually thinking of moving to a mini 4 or waiting for the crystal sky. And this is from someone who last used an apple in 1983.

Thanks! That definitely seals the deal for me I wasn't really itching to switch platforms, for sure!! I have access to a Mini 4 to test with, so I think I'll give it a whirl to see how much better it might be than my current 6 Plus.

And with the iPad you can download DJI "GS PRO" or ground station pro app, it looks pretty cool, check it out on the DJI webpage.

go4 app crashes on android 7.0 nvidea k1 tablet

I was a pro-android guy until I got this drone. I have used my galaxy note4 and a Shield K1. I have experienced numerous DJI Go4 app crashes with both. I recently (reluctantly) bought a IPad mini4 and am VERY happy with its performance. No app crashes (knock on wood) yet. I returned the shield to Amazon.
