Phantom 3 phone compatability

[Red rooster]

I'm wanting to go ahead and buy a Phantom 3 but I can't seem to be able tofind a definitive answer to my question. I use a Windows phone and not an iphone, will I be able to operate a Phantom 3 from my phone or is it not possible? The alternative is that I use a Google Nexus 7 tablet which I have seen some comments about but again nothing definate. Any answers would be helpful!Thanks

You cannot fly a Phantom with a Windows phone.

So I would need an iphone? I read somewhere that a Nexus 7 Tablet would work can anyone confirm this please?

IOS or Android only.
IOS devices appear to be far more stable running DJI Go.

Harrumphh that's put a spanner in the works, I wasn't planning on having to buy a new phone as well as a drone. Will have to reconsider my options.

You can find a list of recommended and commonly used Android/Apple devices here.

Thanks for that and I see that Nexus 7 is listed so al might not be lost

Yes -- as long as it's the 2013 model.

Hmm might be in luck with that alternatively I suppose I could buy a second hand iphone and use it just for a drone.

Just checked the tecnical stuff on my tablet at is the right year so it will be compatible with a Phatom3. Now to find a drone....

If you can download the app from the play store than you can use the device.

I think you'll be happier with the tablet as its a bit larger viewing screen. I used my iPhone at 1st but was just really cramped. I then went to my iPad mini which would have been better but it was the 1st gen. I just ordered a Samsung tab A 8"
Good luck on a new bird. I found a refurbished unit from DJI for only $314. This came just like a new unit. No where at all can you tell it was a returned unit (besides cost)
Packed like new and with same warranty.

Now I need the rain to stop.
