Using Lenovo Tab 4

[chefred112]

After thinking about an Ipad mini (not an Apple fan) and trying a cheap Android option (7" Digiland tablet..no camera view)...I have settled on the 8" Lenovo Tab 4 Android tablet. I bought a holder for it (see pic) but I realize it does fit in my Air controller. It works fine as I can now see camera view. It's raining here so I haven't tested flight yet.

You can use the cable that came with your tablet, just plug it into the full size USB port in the middle of the controller. It is revealed when you pull/swing out the grips at the bottom. This will provide the data connection you need from the controller to the tablet

I'm using the same tablet with my MP1, with the same mount you have. I bought two of them, factory refurbs for $58 each. I haven't had any problems at all, and both recently had an update to Android 8.

Look at Vipoutlet. I bought both of my Lenovo tablets from them, and we bought a third one to use at the office for Pix4d flights with our Phantom4 Pro. I also bought a Samsung Tab A for a gift. I think it was $89. They have some great prices on electronics. Free shipping and 90 day warranty on everything. Everything I've purchased has shipped fast via FedEx.

This is what I fly my Mavic 2 Pro with and I haven't any idea why anyone would ever use any tablet other than this for flight ops or any other reason. Yes, there's cheaper options, however there's no better tablet on the market based on price and tech specs.

Interested in what you say about the 8" Lenovo Tab4. Are you running the latest DJI Go4 app?

My old 7" Lenovo (Android 5) won't give live view on the versions since 4.2.12 but I like the Lenovo and an upgrade is worth considering.

Got a link to the specs of the exact version?
