What 7''/8'' tablets work best with the DJI go app for a phantom 3? I read that the google nexus 7 2013 is a good choice, does it have to be a 2013 or can it be a older version like a 2012. Read that apple tablets work well, but apple used tablets are expensive.

There got to be cheaper options as I don't want to pay more for the tablet than I did for the phantom.
I have a Lenovo tab 4. There is very minimal video camera lag when I tried it out. I deleted or disabled ever app I could. Haven’t flown yet because winter refuses to end here in Pa. I’ve read where others have used the Lenovo tab 4 with good results. Mine was $ 129. Good luck

I keep a list of recommended and commonly used tablets here.
I would go for a used iPad mini. The iOS app is far more stable than their android versions. You don’t have to be an Apple user or fanboy, just read countless posts here to understand iOS has a bit of an edge over their android app. (Yes there are exceptions). FWIW

That's only needed if you want to use the Follow Me flight mode or be able to reset the home point to your current location after taking off. All other GPS related features (e.g. RTH) use data from the Phantom's internal GPS receiver.
Hi Guy's,
I see this is an old subject but thought I would add some new info here, I was flying all three of my DJI Birds with a iPad mini 3 9.7" tablet, but as the firmware updates became more complex the iPad Mini 3 couldn't seem to keep up, so I bought a 2018 iPad 6th generation tablet and this this handles all three birds beautiful , DJI Go and DJI GO4 and also the LITCHI app operate flawlessly. So if anyone is wondering if it's a good Tablet to fly with my ANSWER IS AWESOME !!!

I just bought a 2013 Nexus 7 WiFi off eBay for $20
Should be here beginning of next week. From the reviews I read it’s suppose to have a bright screen. For $20 it is worth a try and I’ll just leave it dedicated for the drone only.
So far so good. I used it a good bit last year. Haven’t flown in a while due to so family stuff going on
I'm using my Moto cellphone. Large screen for a cellphone but small for flying a drone. Thanks for your help.
