I recently received my Mavic and was using an iPhone 6 with it. Today I picked up an Acer Iconia One 7" tablet for $ 65 Canadian dollars and it seems to work just fine. MUCH more testing/flying to do before it becomes my 'go to' visual device for the Mavvy but it is quite hopeful. I think to answer your final question, bigger is going to be better however there is big enough (under 7") where it will fit in the holder without any additional mounting adapter.

does your tablet still work with the new dji app on mavic

I've got a Samsung J7 Prime running Android 6.0.1 with no additional apps on the phone besides the DJI GO 4 app and the ones the phone initially came with. Had 3 flights and so far it's working all good.

so you recomend this phone still?

Had the iPad mini 4 for a few weeks ,but finally got my Lifthor holder and cable for it yesterday
Works so well, nice to be able to access all menu / control features . . . now to find a suitable lanyard !!
It's not heavy overall, quite ok for use for a couple of 20min flights, but for longer sessions to go hands free occasionally it might be handy.

I haven't had one hiccup with my iPhone 5s and an iPad4 Mini

 

[TreeburnerCT]

I can confirm that the Asus Zenpad 10.1" tablet with 2gb ram, 64gb storage and MediaTek processor runs the latest DJI GO 4 app with zero issues. Bought it intending to use as a dedicated device but love it so much I couldn't help using it for other things, but even with other programs installed it runs GO4 perfectly after using the "Power & Boost" tool.

I use a Pixel C tablet and have no issues. When I first connect there is hesitation then I am off and flying with no issues. I am using 4.1.3 no DJI connect version.

Hi guys, is there any information about using an iPad Air with Mavic's RC?
Can an iPad Air in portrait orientation be fitted in the RC?
I think it would fit but:
Would DJI GO work in portrait orientation ?

DarkEnergy,

IPads need a different holder... I'm considering this one ...
