Moose,
That link is in the play store, uninstall the app and then go back into app store and search for the vision app. DONT INSTALL IT THE NORMAL WAY, go down into into the description and it will give you the link. I copied and pasted it from my tab 3 8" maybe the app store knew I was accessing it from my model of tab and thats why the link didnt work because I posted it. Go try and click on the link yourself and see does it hang again? The play store knows what model of phone or tablet you are using to access it and downloads the correct version of an app for you device, its the only reason I can think of why the link didnt work.

WOW I just saw this holder for 1st time, very nice & my type of fit with the "billet alum". I guess I will visit my old machinist I worked with for years while racing cars. Thanks for the idea!

I have both Galaxy S5 and iPad Air. Hand down, no competition: iPad Air.
I can see so much more clearly with ipad air then I can with Galaxy S5 and its tiny screen (yes, i understand it's a relatively big screen for cell phone)

I bought a Nexus 7 tablet for use with my V+ and have been quite happy with it thus far - though I do plan to buy a sun shade for it fairly soon. It's "OK" when flying without a shade, but when using the V+ in the middle of a sunny day the screen does get washed out and hard to see.
This thread should be made into a poll with different screens or phones.
I'd like to hear as many opinions as possible to what people prefer and what works well.
Currently, I just use my Iphone 5 and like many already know, the screen is too small and in bright sunlight, it's virtually impossible to use. For right now it's fine and because I don't rely on the screen much, preferring to fly by sight. Eventually though I will probably have to purchase something else and probably a tablet. Don't need another phone and would want something that is big and bright.
BTW, cool mount for the mini, Bob.

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to a tablet for a display screen? Down the road I think I'm going to have to purchase something bigger and brighter for FPV on my PV2+ but don't really want to buy a tablet just for that, I have no use for one otherwise.
Also, do any of these bigger screens really make a difference from a typical cell phone in being able to actually see the LCD screen during bright sunlight?

This is the mount I got from Amazon...

Mike said he could make more mounts, but his materials and machining time are not cheap. He said he could make more for $100 plus shipping. If you are interested, PM your email address to me and I'll forward it to Mike so you guys can talk.

Phaz I would REALLY like to see how you mounted your Note 10.1 to the controller. I have a 10.1 tablet that I want to you with my P2V+. Please show.
Phaz, send me something directly to [email protected]. Would like to see the mount and hear where you got it. Thanks.
Is there any advantage to different models of iPad mini 1, 2, 3? Like does anyone know if one has a better wifi reciever than the other?
I have a generic Chinese piece of **** phablet, seems to work a treat. I bought it for the Phantom, but I also use a Android tablet, iPhone, iPad etc.
Really I reckon it all comes down to what screen you can see easiest.
In my opinion all hardware and platforms work!
The Chinese phablet is a wee bit temperamental about starting up BTW.....

I bought an Acer 8" tablet. It works great and the bigger screen really helps. After I bought it I discovered that it does NOT have a compass inside. Because of this it won't work for POI, follow me, etc. all the fun stuff. The apps load and it works great, just no POI, follow me, hot point, etc.
I practiced and learned how to do POI by myself.

My Nexus 7 works fine,I fabricated an aluminium extension bracket fixed to the existing smaller clamp,this works well but the controller is a bit top heavy,I sometimes use a tripod with a custom made mount.It fits in the case OK without alteration.
