You know I'm not sure it has GPS, I was going to use my phone if it didn't. I mainly needed a big screen. I'll have to check the specs, bonus if it does .

I use the Nextbook Ares 8, it's only 80 bucks at Walmart. Only use it for my P3S and nothing else. Been flawless so far.

Exactly !

Wow, had a serious brain fart. I've been flying for a while now and forgot it push the battery button twice and hold to power up the phantom. Sign I'm getting old I guess.

And it's not in a no fly area so I do have an issue.

Flown several times with no issues. I did the update recently and shut down and powered on to make sure it took. We were on vacation and this was the first time since we got back I tried to fly. So I don't know what the issue is now.

I work at a heliport and have flown my previous phantoms, FC40 and F2V and have been able to fly here. I tried my new F3S but it will not power on, battery has indicators but does not power on. I downloaded an app to check drone no fly areas and it said I was in a no fly spot. Well went back to...

I recently got the Nextbook Ares 8 from Walmart for 80.00 and it has worked fine for me so far.

Ok, took the Nextbook 8 for a spin today. Flew for 17 minutes with video running and it performed flawlessly. Now, this is a dedicated tablet for my P3S and no other programs will be downloaded unless really needed. Like I said, 78.00 for a good monitor is great. These are my findings so far. If...

Someone was inquiring on the Nextbook 8, I bought one today and performed a ground test taking video and it worked just fine. Going to take aerial video soon to see how it does. At 78.00 if it works that is a cheap investment

Someone was asking about the Nextbook 8, just bought it today and the initial test was fine. Took video inside and there was no glitches or fading. Going to take it for a flight soon to see how it goes. At 78.00 at Walmart it's hard to beat if it works.

I am also as of yesterday a proud owner of a P3S. Sold my FC40 and P2V to get it. Done the software upgrades last night, compass cal this morning and took it for a 10 minute test flight. Was very windy and handled it much better than my other two. Can't wait to get it to an open field and give...

It's the video transmitter in the camera. I went through hours of resets, redownloading, salt over the shoulder and all that jazz. I was getting all the telemetry, able to video and take picture just no live feed. Found a new camera on eBay and now works great.

Had the same issue and done everything possible. Called drone geeks and DJI support and both said it sounded like the video transmitter in the camera. I bit the bullet and found a new camera on eBay and now it works like a charm. It's cheaper than sending your P2V off for repair.

Up in the air and flying again WITH video stream. Wound up buying a new camera. Two separate places, DJI support and Drone Geeks said it sounded like the video transmitter in the camera. Found a new camera and wifi extender on eBay for 240.00 and its works great. DJI said I would have to send in...
