Tablet Reccomendation

I will second the folks who are recommending the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4.

I purchased one yesterday and took it out for a flight today. It far surpasses my iPad Mini (and iPhone 5S) for FPV in sunlight. The AMOLED screen is the brightest I have seen outside in the 95+ Austin summer we're having. And it doesn't seem to overheat like my iPad mini did running the DJI app. And the snap on/snap on optional covers are pretty neat.

For flying with the Phantom, the 8.4 Tab S is tops (and it fits in the same Amazon Basics Mount that easily replaces the DJI smartphone "clip" mount that I purchased for the iPad. I just have to use two of the other four "feet" that came in the box:

So, it's great... BUT...

All of this being said, I am afraid the Galaxy Tab S isn't as good overall as a tablet as the iPad. Loads of bloatware, an inconsistent UI on top of Android KitKat (but better than Samsung's previous efforts) and some weird choppiness in Chrome (that will hopefully be fixed with a software patch).

My $0.02. Good luck!
