Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO

[Sky*viewer]

Really? I tried my iPhone 5 and the app worked, but not good enough to do FPV, quality/lag is terrible... I had to buy and iPad mini 3 and works just perfect.

From msinger's list I didn't think it did and saw where Robin posted it did is why I asked .
I use my mini with my P2 but have used the 4s for FPV a lot and is just small but thought
since my phone decided to jump under my truck tire yesterday [ don't ask ] and they replacing
it with that one for $1.06 was hoping it would work to at least get the app now .

Your mini if 2 or 3 would be perfect. I only have mini 1 won't run.

So you getting itchy to pull the trigger, Bro?

Lol, probably won't be long, but nothin wrong with my P3.

I do carry a rabbit foot for luck, although not lucky for rabbit. I also do calibrating dance just for more luck. Not turning on the bird before the dance seems to be working too.

We use both iPad Air 2's and iPad Mini 3's. I personally have never had the Pilot App crash on either of these devices with 500+ flights in total since the very first release of the app back in late December with the Inspire release. Just always be sure you have 1) Enabled Hardware Decode 2) Crashed all other apps 3) Put device in airplane mode 4) Turn off video cache in Pilot App.

We highly recommend the iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 3 to new Phantom or Inspire owners who would like to have a dedicated device for their copter. The only other device I can vouch for is the nVidia Shield.

Safe and happy flying to all and thanks for creating this thread, @msinger.

Good points. This is explained in more detail here:

Ipad Mini 3 works well. Galaxy S4 phone (5.0 lollipop OS) also works fine for me.

You managed to run the app on the S4? I can load the app but it won't connect to my P3A. No video feed etc.

Did the Galaxy Note 4 work okay? Or, would you not recommend it?

I use the galaxy note 4 and I get a lot of issues, it disconnects at least 4 times before I start flying. I'm thinking on getting an ipad mini 2 tomorrow.

I have the Tab Pro.

Straight from the store - it sucks. Massive lag.

After rooting it, uninstalling everything I could, disabling animation/etc, it is... fair. There's still some lag.

Compared to my Black Pearl monitor, there's also tons of glare. What good is HD video when you can barely see the screen on a Sunny day?

DJI has done a terrible job with the Android App. I guess I might have to spend the money for Ipad Air2.

Why don't you recommend the ipad mini 2 which is $100 cheaper than the 3? Only difference is the finger print recognition thingy...meh

Do you think the ipad 9.7" retna display with a a6 processor will work.....galaxy note 2 with latest software crashes......have access to the ipad

No. You need an Apple device with an A7 or A8 processor.

I used the galaxy note 4 for two weeks and it didn't work well. I don't recommend it.

It sure took you long enough to finally get there, huh? It seemed like you were changing tablets every few days!

 

[King Luff]

I've used both an iPad Air and a Nexus 6. The experience on the iOS app is far superior, and the larger screen is also nicer by far.

Did the Nexus 6 work? I'm hoping it did even if it was inferior

 

[dirtdobber903]

Flawless with the iPhone 6.

The Air 2 has worked excellent for me. I used Android on Moto X first gen, but the screen was both too small and not bright enough to be useful as a monitor.

Really like my Air2 with this. Have not tried anything else, but why try to fix something that's not broken.

No. You need an Apple device with an A7 or A8 processor.

Ok thanks.....Air 2 A8 64GB it is.....refirbushed $509 from the Apple store....free shipping
