there are screen protectors that can reduce glare. and as far as android tablets i recommend the samsung galaxy tab s 8.4, nvidia shield or google nexus. at the moment, the are listed as incompatible but it is a configuration issue and will be resolved shortly.

I picked up the Samsung Galaxy S 8.4 just after Christmas and so far so good. The screen brightness set to 100% on a bright TX day with no need for a screen protector or visor. Had a hard time seeing the drone at points due to the sun but the screen was easily viewable. It also fits great on the controller clamp.

I've been using the AT&T Trek HD with my Solo. It seems to work fine and it's nice that it has cellular data. Only problem I am having is the glare from the screen. I'm hoping a anti-glare screen protector will help.

Get a tablet with a barometer as well as GPS if you want dynamic altitude, I'm not an Apple guy but my mini 4 works great.

Does anyone know why my video reception with a new Phantom 3 is so poor. Not in terms of resolution but it is jumpy and lags behind the camera, makes if very difficult to fly smoothly by watching the monitor, it is a delayed jumpy image. Tried both the Samsung Galaxy S5 Cell and Samsung Galaxy Tab4 monitors. Thanks.

Excuse me, but why would you post a question about anything other than a 3DR drone in this forum?

I bought a Samsung tab A6 tablet but I just noticed that it doesn't have a compass sensor.can I still use it to fly my solo drone?

Thanks

Most use either the Nvidia k1 or the nexus 7 (2013). I use the latter. Happy flying!

• 5 MP f2.8 Rear-facing camera and 5 MP Front-facing camera

I have in order the Huawei + Harman Kardon MediaPad M3 8.0 Octa Core 8.4" which has a screen brighter than the Ipad mini 4 and overall better specs.

Sound is supposed to be great but do not care for it.
