so why do I need a tablet with cell service again? I just plugged my ipad 2 air no cell model into the remote and it shows my home point I realize this has been answered here already but a quick answer would be better for me
Yes.. that right there! There is really no need for cell service when flying as maps can be pre-cached. Its all about what you plan to do, or think you might end up wanting to do in the future. I'de rather have the tools needed, if and when the time comes. Rather than start cheap and find out next week.. **** I wish I would'a!Both Wi-Fi only and cellular iPad models are compatible. Only cellular models have GPS. You do not have to enable the cell service in order to use the GPS
thanks again
Same situation here. I have other iOS stuff & I like it, but I didn't want to shell out that much cash & my current iPad is fine (just too old to be compatible with P3). I actually really like the Nexus I bought for flying & find myself using it more and more. Screen size is perfect for Phantom. I keep it free of junk software and it runs fine.I own a couple of Apple products, an aging iPad 4 (sadly incompatible with the app) and an iPhone 6+. Yet I got a Google Nexus 7 (http://amzn.to/1E8tCCt) specifically for use with my P3.
Overall the Nexus has worked well with the Phantom. The screen is a nice size, and the Nexus cost less than half of what a comparable iPad Mini with cellular GPS would have cost.
As a general use tablet, the Android OS still leaves me cold. But for the dedicated purpose of flying a P3, it's great.
People just dont know what to look for when shopping. I think I paid $259 for my iPad Air 2 16 gig cellular.
Open Box BABY!! Still had the protective plastic on it!
yep I think that is what I am going to do as well. thanks for the information!!I use Android for everything other than the P3, I bought an Air2 to dedicate to it and it has been flawless. I could not be happier with that decision. And that came from lots of research into what had problems. I want to take pictures and video not fight with the tablet.

There are folks using the P3 holder with the iPad Air 2 for sure. AFAIK the holders are exactly the same except for the aluminum integrated into the Inspire 1 holder.what about the original holder coming with the p3p controler? can the ipad air fit in it?
yeswhat about the original holder coming with the p3p controler? can the ipad air fit in it?
Yes the Samsung tab is awful . I had to buy a new tablet and went with the nvidia shield tablet and it's a beast . It has the fastest processor of any Android tablets . I highly recommend it!!So i checked my cell carrier and i can get 2 tablets at prolongation of my contract.
Samsung galaxy tab 4 LTE 10 " or Ipad Air 2. Im still not sure, is it better to take Android because of future litichi app?
I have also read alot of complaints on Galaxy tab and DJI app...
