I'm wondering if I screwed up?

[super kats kitty show]

I Ordered a P3 standard.. now I'm looking for the tablet to run it.. with all the issues I'm reading about tablet compatability and connection errors and update problems, I'm wondering if the DJI was a mistake.
Maybe the Typhoon Q500g would've been easier for a newb?

I have 2 P3S and use either my Samsung S6 or Nexus 7 Gen 2 tablet and never have a problem with either one.

You won't have a problem using a tablet unless you go for the cheap $49 kind. Otherwise. Most will work. Look at list and make decision off of that. Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO

Nvidia Shield K8 No problems

Samsung Galaxy S5 works great.

Lenovo A7-10F works well. Better than Lenovo A3500 in the DJI's list.

If you get a tablet you'll need something to attach it to your controller because the clamp that comes with the standard controller does not open wide enough to hold a tablet.

Using the DJI GO app with your Phantom 3 Standard, and updating both the app and the aircraft seem to be two different things.

I had my Phantom 3 Standard on the way to me when the software/firmware update came out and some folks started to have problems updating their existing equipment. I have not done any software/firmware update attempts on my aircraft. I simply downloaded whatever version of the DJI GO app was available for downloading at the time I needed it. I have so far ignored any of the update requests that have appeared, and my iPad Air and Phantom 3 Standard are working just fine together.

Later, once things are calmed down enough for me, I will peruse some of the step-by-step instructions and videos to do the software/firmware update. Until then, everything is working fine for me, and assume they would work fine for you, too, as long as you pick a device from DJI's preferred device list that they posted.

Seems like a bunch for money to add a good tablet when the typhoon has a good display included...

You don't need an expensive tablet, just make sure it has gps before you buy it. I paid $45 for a 7 inch android tablet and it works fine. I've never had any of the issues you read about on here. The vast majority of people with the Phantom 3 standard don't have any problems. I have the latest firmware too, and haven't experienced any problems with it, actually I've had my longest flight since updating to the latest firmware. If you are new to flying a quadcopter, go to an open area with no trees or buildings to get started, it's any easy drone to fly.

The typhoon looks like it has a nice display. .small but looks ok...also you still need to buy a gopro (doesn't look like the 500g comes with it) and it has less range and its way slower

Where did you buy it, any other words if fails in 30 days can you return it?
