I am new here and I am thoroughly confused.
I have spent a while reading through this thread and others before posting but I still cannot find the answers that I am looking for.
I am financially limited so a limited budget is what is going to drive my options. I have a Phantom 3 Standard that I just got but have not used yet.
If possible I would like to use one of the devices that I already have:
1) My AT&T iPhone 5S (issue is very small screen size, so it will be hard to see)
2) My daughters iPad air (issue is that it is Wi-Fi only so no GPS, I would also need to get a custom mount for the remote that comes with the phantom 3 standard remote to use it, and also it has an otter box defender, which believe me it needs with the abuse it gets, this adds a lot of bulk and weight to it and it is a chore to remove it and put it back on)
3) My wife’s kindle fire HDX (issue is I would have to side load the app and it does not support maps among other things that I am not aware of)
So with that said, what do you think I should do? Should I use one of the devices I have?
Or is there a tablet I can buy (and I am fine getting a used one off of eBay/amazon, etc.) that would be less than $100?
The following used (but amazon prime) are all $70-$80 range right now
ASUS ZENPAD Z170C-A1-BK 7" 16 GB Tablet
Acer Iconia Tab Tablet with 16GB Memory 8" | A1-840-131U
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (7-Inch, Dark Gray)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (8-Inch, Gold-Brown) 2013 Model
Would any of these options work?
My understanding is that the Phantom 3 Standard remote communicates with my phone/tablet using Wi-Fi (and does not have a USB port, so that isn't even an option), with that said is it safe to assume that this will limit me in regards to not also being able to connect a Wi-Fi only table to a Wi-Fi hotspot for GPS etc.? Meaning I basically will either need to use my iPhone 5s, purchase a tablet that is one a cellular network, or be limited in some of the functions available for my phantom 3 standard?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
