It might not be the best thing given the performance but is quite cost-effective to consider.
Google Nexus 9
When it comes to choosing a compatible drone tablet one doesn’t have to go as far as choosing a tablet for school or business activities. Even the sleekest and specs deficient tablet can do the job for you but it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t invest heartily into securing a tablet that is the best fit for the job. Google Nexus 9 is exactly that, it isn’t that tech-savvy as other tablets are and for that reason is quite cost-effective but when it comes to droning it is single-handedly the most robust choice one can ever make.
It offers standard 2GB RAM with 32GB storage capacity. Has an 8.9 inch IPS display serving at a resolution scale of 2048X1536 which is quite fascinating for a tablet this is cost-effective.

iPad Mini 4 all the way!
Can you fly without a smart device?
Nope, unfortunately you need either a smart phone or a tablet to fly a DJI drone. If you need to get one cheap, black Friday is coming up soon, so you may be able to get a good price then!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Hi, I do believe this is a great web site. I stumbledupon it ;
) I may revisit once again since i have saved as a favorite it.
Very accurate ….lots of issues with the TAB s2…stay away….
Get a note 4 or TAB S3….
I have the DJI Mavic pro and I am trying to use the Samsung s3 and it runs the app but the video quality is horrible not sure what iam doing wrong
Thanks for your comment.
Are you talking about the video quality recorded onto your SD card or the quality displayed on your tablet? The quality of the video feedback on a tablet/ smart phone is always worse than is actually recorded, which is especially true of tablets. The DJI app does save the footage onto your device, however this is just a recording of what the screen sees whilst your flying.
If you’re wanting to view your footage in it’s best quality, make sure you have an SD card inserted into the drone and the drone is recording. You can then watch the video file recorded on the card.
Hope this helps and feel free to contact us with any more questions 🙂
What did you do to get the dji go 4 app to open and run on the samsung tab 3?
Im not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back later. Cheers
I’m finding that the Lenovo Tab3 8 Plus 8″ tablet runs Go 4 with ease.
Basic specs: 2Ghz CPU, 3Gb Ram, 1200X1920 screen, WiFi and GPS.
Hi James, wondering if its possible to use a Samsung Galaxy tab e, for a DJI Spark? I see it’s not on your best list, and I’m just curious if it would suffice? Thanks Aaron
I run my phantom 3 standard on my I phone 6s plus
The phone screen is a little small and I have sun
Glaring at the screen. With that said, my only
Options a hood that goes over my phone.
Or fly dusk or dawn.
If purchase a tablet with cellular will I have to add another line to my cell carrier?
Yes 🙂
this may sound like a dumb question but you said its worth the slightly more money to go with the ipad 4 mini with cellular but will I also have to pay for a data plan monthly in order to utilize it?
Yup, you will have to pay for data. Check your current phone plan though. Some include a second sim card at no extra cost.
You made some decent points there. I looked on the net for more info about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this web site.
Pretty! This was a really wonderful post. Thank you for providing these details.
