Cheaper is not always better. I tried an Acer 8" tablet running 4.4 KitKat, and it would not work. It would not even pull up the Solo App from Playstore. Come to find out, it could not handle the video downlink from Solo. My advice would be to go ahead and spend a little more, and save yourself some frustration. Believe me, I know. Hope this helps....Good luckI got a free one from verizon a while back. It was not on the supported software list but it loaded the ap fine from the download.
doesn't get much cheaper than free, but I am sure you are looking for a supported model.
I got a call on my iPhone 5S while flying my previous P2V+. I simply sent the call to voice mail. Was quick and nothing got interrupted.I agree with Chuck. I'm running on my iPhone 6 Plus which works great, but I'm worried about receiving a phone call mid-flight, hah! Has that happened to anyone? I suppose you can go into airplane mode and just enable Wi-Fi alone, but then you won't get the map if you rely on that.

Ah good to know. I figure you could just deny the call, but I wasn't sure if the app would disconnect and have trouble reconnecting to get the video feed back. Thanks!
I thought that Cellular was necessary because of the gps. If not, why does 3DR recommend mobile devices with cellular?It would not be fun answering a call while flying. I wanted a tablet strictly for Solo, so I opted for the wifi only Tab 4. I haven't taken it out very far yet, but so far the video quality is great.

I thought you needed it in order for the follow me mode to work. Thanks for the information FlexFanatic. This is a big help. Thank you.
You don't actually need LTE to do any of that. I suggest (if possible), caching your maps on WiFi. In the field, you can't use LTE and WiFi at the same time. Having cell service in the field is good for sending trouble tickets and caching maps for areas you didn't know you were going to fly in but not a necessity.
i don't think theese are being made any more.I think I'm going to just buy a Nexus 7 (2013 model) with LTE since I was able to sell me Dell Venue Pro 8 on ebay.
Question, will I need to activate the LTE service to use features like selfie and will I need to cache maps?
