I've acquired a Phantom 3 standard (through my credit-card's loyalty program) and it's going to be a give for a family member. I plan to use an Acer Iconia A3 tablet (Android 4.2, 10-inch screen, MediaTek 1.2 Ghz Quadcore, 1 gb ram) unless I learn that it's too under-powered (cpu wise). I know the choice of tablet to use with these drones is a major topic of discussion and I don't want to explore it here too much, but I do want to know this basic fact:
Does the Phantom 3 have a radio link directly with the tablet (for either video or telemetry/control) or does is the drone's radio link only to the DJI controller? I ask because I thought I read somewhere that the flight distance range is somehow tied to the wifi radio capability of the tablet.
My other question is about the geo-fencing that seems to be built into these DJI drones and I'm wondering what sort of no-fly-zone database the Phantom 3 has in terms of Canada, and specifically the Windsor Ontario area (I'm thinking proximity to Detroit and the US/Canada border).
Thanks for any answers on those 2 points.
