Camera direct to tablet?

[ScopeTech]

Did anyone know whether the camera/gimble can be connected directly to a tablet for output? Just curious as I picked up one of these handheld gimble attachments as per the attached pic and it has a spot to mount the tablet mount, but not sure why they would bother if you can't connect it directly to the Phantom.

So you bought that without knowing how it works, and no instructions? RTFM?

You should have gone for an inspire 1 and an OSMO. That looks like a really difficult way to turn your phantom into a stabilised 4K camera and close to useless if you can't mount the remote also.

Wow, aren't you quite the douche. I'm sure you make a lot of friends with that attitude.

Bottom line is, I bought the P3P for aerial videography purposes, saw this and thought it would be cool to turn it in to a handheld gimbal with a 40 dollar addon if possible and if not I'll send it back.

I was trying to be constructive. Without a convenient way to obtain video feed and canera control its arggably useless... you need the remote and aircraft powered for stabilisation and recording in any case. I would return it.

And yes, i suspect it was advertised as the solution to turn your phantom into a stabilised 4k canera. They wouodnt have nentioned you need a two man/woman crew to operate it.

Yep thanks that's pretty much my take on it, just wanted to confirm that there was indeed no direct connection available between the camera and a tablet.

There are opportunists about. A lot wouldnt bother to return it so a nice profit.

Someone else on the forums was kind enough to post an example of something very similar except it has a hook to hang the remote on, makes perfect sense to me and easy enough to modify this one the same way; what will that get me? That's right - a handheld gimballed 4K camera for 30 bucks over the cost of the Phantom 3.
