Best tablet for a phantom 4?

[Budsells]

Hello all, can you tell me the best tablet to use with a phantom 4?
I have a Samsung 7 inch that I bought new about 4 months ago that does not seem to handle the video's from my drone.
Everything works fine with my samsung 10+ phone but would like a bigger screen

nVidia Shield K1 works great. 8 inches diagonal and quick video. Almost no lag for me.

Thank you both, I will research both and see what I think

Looks a bit on the large side there Ian! Feller might need a big tripod to hold that contraption up!

I might mention that I reset my tablet and removed everything not needed to run the DJI app. I have a memory card in to for needed memory. Works fine for me.

I've switched from my 8 inch Samsung tablet to a NVIDIA K1 Shield. Much much better. I can actually see the screen in bright sun light now!

I just looked up the nvidia k 1 tablet. There are alot of them used around $200 and found a new one at $450, do these prices sound right?

If you put up a search on eBay - you can score a deal on one. I bought a second one - just in case something bad happens.
NVIDIA Shield K1 Tablet 16GB Internal +32GB SD Card, Controller, World Adapter -- $122.50

Sounds good, thanks for the info

MY iPad mini 4 is my go to device for all my drones. The Dji go app is actually built for IOS.

Nothing against crApple, other than they're sorry, overpriced and underpowered POS... Your opinions may vary. ?

Since it was mentioned in this thread I've been looking at the NVIDIA Shield K1 as well. I would think that, if it were dedicated to the drone only and ya didn't monkey around fillin it up with other junk like @Tom Connell said, it would be ok for my P4P. I'm having issues with my Galaxy Tab A which is getting old and slow...

Yeah I used to feel the same way till I bought one.

If you want the best Android tablet for flying, look at the Huawei M5 (or M3 if you can still find one).
The Nvidia K1 might have been a good flying tablet in it's day but it was released in 2014!!.
It's not really up to running current versions of the app without issues.
You need a faster processor and >2GB of RAM nowdays.

Unfortunately I've had 2 tablets and 2 iPhones. That's the reason for my dislike of anything iOS. Seems you either love em or hate em. I hate em.

That's a common myth but it's not true.
The box just has the Made for iPad/iPhone logo to indicate that it meets Apple's performance specs.
In plain English ... it will work with Apple devices.
