I posted pictures of the connections here: Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO
Be sure to get the 'exact' $10 converter from Amazon that I posted about in this thread (a few posts before the above referenced post) as it has been reported that others that seem to be the same (but aren't) will require a USB power, while the one I used is self powered.
It's simply using HDMI source from your table or whatever, which is connected to the converter via the proper HDMI cable, then using an RCA to RCA cable ... you go from the converter's 'video out' to the Quanum DIY goggles' 'video in' (which as you know, also needs a 12V supply) ... I'm using a small LiPo battery for that.
The only issue I'm having with the DIY Quanums is because I'm farsighted, and it's a bit of a challenge to find a set of reading glasses/lens from a magnifying headsets (like jewelers use) to get focus in the Quanums.
But for people using any version of the Quanums FPV goggles successfully, this setup is less cost than the just DJI HDMI controller back, and that includes the price of the $88 10" Proscan tablet (which includes the HDMI output) and the converter.

You don't need a cellular device. Any "decent" device would do it's job.
If you don't have cellular, it's recommended you cache the maps for the area you're flying. That's the only thing, AFAIK.
For some reason Apple devices without cellular also don't have GPS. (There are pricey GPS dongles that can remedy this.) Most, maybe all, Android devices have GPS, with or without cellular. You can't use Follow Me mode on the P3 unless your mobile device has GPS.
In addition to caching, another way is to setup a wifi hotspot on your cellphone to get map data.

Unfortunately there's no option to connect to two wireless networks in the same time with an android device, so there's no use of a wifi hotspot, If we're taking about Standard. I don't know what's the situation with the advanced and professional.

I have modded my DIY Goggles with ski goggles so I can wear reading glasses , I also added about 2 inches to the length of the DIYs so the focus is rite.
Works good for me. Thanks.

I bought an RCA 7" Tablet 16GB Quad Core from Walmart. I works great, except you have to install the DJI Go app by hand. The apps store says the device in incompatible.
I'm having trouble with my camera. But all the up grades are in this forum. I have the 5in screen in mine and added 2 inches to the goggles. I have 2 of the harbor freight lenses.. It is like a big screen t.v.

I read all 27 pages, I was going to use my old iPad mini (original) but it appears the P3 will not work with it. Shame but no problem so I started looking at an iPad mini 2 just so it would run the go program or litchi. Along with several weather apps I use, I can not use it just for a drone, it has to multitask. Sides Walmarts has them on sale right now for about 199, not too bad.
But then I have to get a garmin gps addon for another 100 or so, jeeze.
So after thinking about it, & how I'm more a droid person but I have to get a pretty current system so it must have lollipop on it or be upgradable to lollipop. Its nice the Nvidia Shield K1 is upgradable to marshmellow even if its buggy right now, plus its also on sale for 199 & I dont have to buy a gps addon. No cables? Not a problem as I have cables anyways from my s3, s4 & s5 samsung galaxies & micro usb are easy to find, minis not so much.
So thanks to everyone that posted here with their thoughts & opinions on which one they have, pros & cons. Gonna skip the iPad mini2, got the Nvidia Shield K1 on order on Amazon, it will be here in a couple days providing the delivery service isnt still mucked up.
