What tablet are you using

[Memor86]

I'm in the market for a tablet. I notice that some android models come without a compass and I wonder if you have noticed a disadvantage
I read somewhere that the aircraft orientation does not if the device does not have a compss

I'm not across Android tablets but had no major problems using a Samsung Galaxy S7 and after that the S9. Nowadays I'm using an iPad Pro (standard size) and couldn't be happier although I would choose the iPad Mini 5 if I didn't already own the Pro. The smaller size of the Mini means that you don't need a use a mounting bracket and it weighs less. Hope this helps.

There are some lists on this topic. Read them. There are almost no Android tablets that work. Similarly you will need an Android 64 bit operating system.

I use an A-1566 iPad; 9.7" screen. Works perfectly. This iPad has way more batt life than the controller or 3 Mavic Pro drone batt's combined. Get a connecting cable with right angle head that goes into your controller; that way it can be shorter and more out of the way. I use a tablet Skyreat tablet holder- is excellent. Good luck!

You won't regret getting the iPad. It's generally a more stable platform for running DJI Go 4 than Android. Have fun!

I have been using a Note 8 with good results. Got a iPad 10.2, with holiday sales. My first IOS and it works great. Will dedicate it to my MA and MM. I have it mounted on a Mavmount attachment perched on a camera tripod, with long cable to controller. Sit, relax and fly. Works for me. Happy New Year.

I don't think that's true.
As long as the tablet has:
Android 6.0 or above
Both hardware and Android OS 64bit
4GB RAM installed

Then you should be OK.

Many have managed with less than 4GB installed RAM, but had to download Fly from DJI and install that way. When you do that, then you'll also have to manually install subsequent app updates.
