Lenovo tablets question

[shnaek]

Hi all, newbie here. Just getting into drones and am purchasing a phantom 3 standard. Would either of these tablets fly it?
Lenovo Tab3 7" Tablet | ZAOR0040GB
Lenovo Tab 2 7" Tablet
Thanks!

Are these Windows based tablets? Then the answer is NO.

They're not windows based. They're running Android 5.0

I have a windows phone, hence the reason I'm looking at tablets.

They will both work....I use a Lenovo 7" tab 2. But you will have to 'side load' the DJI Go app........

So what's your experience been? Did you need to side load dji go or can you get it straight off the google play store?

My experience has been great. No need to side load, it goes on straight off the store.
I got the Tab 3 7" model in the end. There's the slightest lag (maybe a second or so), but that might be because it's the P3S that I have.
Tablet cost me €75 but it's €65 at the mo. Nice cheap way to get things started.

Is it the Lenovo Tab 3 Wifi version?
I want to buy one to use with my P4, would you advise this tablet? Does it keep good range and clear video feed?

 

[Omokjoe]

It is wifi . I'm no expert but seems to do everything required .I don't know about a P4 .

 

[Philltayl]

Mine works like a dream and it has wifi and gps. Use it with a P3S.

Thanks for the reply, does it require built-in 3G or will wifi only version work? I have the Phantom 4.

Kind regards

No 3G/4G required. With the P4 , I think it connects via USB so I don't think even wifi is required.

Okay great thanks for your help, and the transmission signal from the Lenovo Tab 3 is smooth when connected to the Phantom 4?
