I have been using mine, and its fine, but just a wee bit underpowered. Just for recreation, it's probably fine.

Thanks for the reply! I just got one about a year ago and I'm getting sick of using the small screen on my lenovo moto g5 plus. I'm thinking about getting a mavmount and moving up to the 10 inch screen but didn't want to spend the money on the mount without knowing if it would work.

Thank you! I am really learning a lot on here and am really digging my new hobby! It just needs to warm up here a little so I can get more fly time in. It was -2 degrees here this morning!

You might want to try it and see how it works for you. Since you cant fit a 10" device into the claws of the controller, you will have to have a device extender or Mavmount. But, for testing only, you can just hook it up on a table, install DJI Go 4, and see how fluid the app is.

Big difference, but not an Android.

I tried a plastic holder that I bought online, but found it very unstable. I made this holder for my Samsung Tab A from some scrap wood and velcro. Not winning any awards , but very stable . Works great if you don't care about the velcro on back of your tablet ?

Also, all the buttons, cables and ports are easily accessible above the holder arms . Full view of a 9.5 inch ( diagonal ) screen

I also used it with my Samsung S9+. Just bought a second case for the phone when using it to fly. So the velcro is only on the cheap case.

So simple , you almost don't need to measure !

A rather basic video, but you get the idea ;

I have used both the Tab E 10" and the Tab S2 9.7" although it was a pain in the butt figuring out how to get the S2 working properly it is well worth it. Not a chance I am going to buy some Apple garbage to fly.

My Samsung Tab A has served me well up till now. I have both GO4 and Litchi installed with
no problems other than usual with all these electronic devices!! - I recommend that you delete any unused apps etc and turn on flight mode when using the Tab A (For FPV flying)

Hi Mereflyer, by flight mode you mean airplane mode? Do i just use the tab A cord and plug it into the bottom of the RC?

You've been able to get the E to work?
Something Samsung has on mine blocks the app from grabbing the USB, unless it does so within a minute of bootup.

Happened with my P3 on Go3 and M2 on Go4.
Ended up getting an S3. I get app crashes, but at least it connects reliably.

Yes Frickster - I meant airplane mode, (We use flight mode in Australia) Yes correct about using the bottom USB port. I also have an extra battery plugged into the small port - works well on GO4, many flights the controller is still 100% after 8 minute flight. Litchi not so compatible with extra battery though!!
