    Tab 4 SD card??

    Thanks for the response. I was aware that the "good" footage/snaps were on the drone itself. I'm just looking for a way to keep from having to go thru the tablet's cache and delete the older stuff to get the current clips on board. We enjoy reviewing it all in the field. Even if I could go...

    Tab 4 SD card??

    I'm using a Lenovo Tab 4 for a monitor with my P4. Love the combo, the Tab 4 works well for me other than the meager storage space. I installed a good quality 32 gig micro sd card but can't get the video cache to go there. Soon as I hit the top of the internal storage (16 gigs), it quits...

    Cracks in arms near motors.

    I have an older P4 and check it regularly for cracks, so far nothing. Also, just FYI, I use prop guards, which I'd think would add arm stress somewhat, and some "spirited" sport flying from time to time.

    Best tablet for a phantom 4?

    I use a Lenovo Tab 4 8-inch. Works great, plenty bright and it's reasonable at about $100 (Amazon). There's also a 10--inch available. My only issue is the meager storage at 16 gigs but an SD card will take care of that.

    What phone/device to buy for P4

    I'm having great luck with a Lenovo Tab 4 8-inch and my P4. Low as 90 bucks from Amazon.

    Prop guards

    I use the DJI #62 guards occasionally, and have not noticed any adverse issues. Easy on/easy off and fit in the box nice.

    Lenovo Tab 4

    I bought one based on the article msinger suggested and I really like it. Plenty bright, no problems viewing in bright sunlight at all, even at less than full brightness. I have the 16g model and installed a 64g card and it's the 8-inch screen. I'm not a computer tech so sorting a couple...

    Text editor??

    I was just going thru all the cached data, photos, movie clips, from my first couple flights and came across the flight record. I thought it would provide a read out of the flight record like my Yuneec Typhoon H did. Are these the files you transmit to DJI for evaluation in the event of a problem?

    Text editor??

    Attempted to download a flight record and what came up was a couple screens of symbols that appeared similar to (perhaps) Chinese characters. At the bottom of the last screen a brief window was flashed that read : "Unable to load more content! Download Phoenix text editor from the official...

    Best reasonable price tablets for p4p

    I just purchased a Lenovo Tab 4 8" and installed it as recommended on this forum. Seems to be a very workable solution. I haven't actually flown with it yet but the camera view, etc., seems to be working correctly. Only issue I'm having is that I'm unable to get it to enter the simulator...

    Filters?

    I have a set of 4 filters that was included with the P4 I bought, and no paperwork at all. They are marked: Taco RC P4 Series MC ND4, ND8, ND16 and ND32. Can anyone shed some light on these. What camera settings are they used for and what's the effect? Thanks!

    Best reasonable price tablets for p4p

    I see the 8-inch is only available with 16GB storage but has an SD slot. Do you use an accessory SD card or is the standard 16gig adequate?

    Favorite devices for use with phantom controllers

    Just read thru this thread and it was great! Lots of info for us noobs. I'm thinking very seriously about an Amazon Fire HD8 32gb. Anyone using one and if so, what are your thoughts, particularly on brightness? Currently, I'm using my Moto Droid Turbo phone, but I'd like more brightness and...
