Tablets??? Samsung Galaxy Tab 4? or Tab Pro? ....

[David Baldovin]

Is anyone flying with either of these tablets? So far I have not been able to find much information from someone who has actually flown one. How do they look outside? It has been my experience that looking at screens outside is poor at best. What setups are working for you guys? If you have a good set up please share your setup.

Thanks

Nexus 9" has been flawless. Bought a shade but didn't like it so I sent it back and made one out of two black plastic folders bought at Target for $1 each, and some black gaffers tape (I wanted to be Solo color coordinated). The shade folds up and goes in the box. I use a lanyard from a tradeshow.. Works great.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 has it works well (no app crashes). The two cons would be viewing the display in direct sunlight and an issue with the screen flickering when I try to perform a selfie (may be a app issue but not sure).

Tab 4 is fine... no crashes so far...

Thanks guys, I ended up with a Galaxy Pro 8.4. The setup went well. I don't have a go pro yet but I will test fly it tomorrow without a camera.

Thanks! It is a Super Falcon 25 from nitro planes. I modified to fly on a 38mm rocket motor. It was fun fly, very fast on the way up

Didn't show it, but I attached the shade by cutting a slot in the top part of the back, that the top "grabber thingy" goes through. The bottom back of the shade just sits in the bottom "grabber thingy" without any cutting or slots, and the tablet sits on top of the whole thing holding it snuggly in place. When I fold up the shade for travel, I put the tablet in it as a protector, and both together slide in the box (later the backback) keeping it safe.

I made one this weekend with a black file folder. Pretty simple and works great.
