1. All screens reflect sunlight, it all depends on the NITS (Screen Brightness). The highest screen brightness is the Crystalsky but that is out of your price range. So any of the other tablets will work fine with a hood. The rest all depends on where you like IOS or Android.
2. The tablet does not shoot the video. It does not even record the video or the stills. All of that is recorded and stored on the SD card that is located in the Phantom itself.

What your cellphone records is the low resolution cache that is being recorded on the Phantom. It’s a feature of the DJI GO app.
I have to agree with Meta4, the Huawei M3 does an excellent job for the money! it is a shame however that you can't get a reasonably priced tablet with an ultra bright screen..

"Apple 9.7" iPad Wi-Fi is what I bought today $476. with a 3 year Warranty.
Started with an Android tab, thought I was satisfied. Had to borrow my wife's iPad one day and the difference was considerable. Much fast response. Bought an iPad mini 3 and was quite pleased. Have since moved up to a Crystal Sky and will never look back though.

I have a Huawei M3 as a dedicated flight platform. Nothing installed other than dji go. I am very happy with it. No green screen. No pixelation. Great battery life. Someday I'm going to root it and free up some more RAM. But stock it is a performer so I am not that motivated.
Rather than buy a NEW iPad, I decided to purchase a refurbished one directly from the Apple website. Can't recall exactly what I had paid, but the difference between new and refurbished was significant enough for me to buy. Packaged like new, looks and acts brand new, and comes with the same warranty as new. I'd recommend going that route if anyone wants to save some money on an iPad. The list of refurbished models Apple has for sale is constantly updated. Just be aware of the original release year (which they list) when considering a model.

I forgot to mention the huawei m3 has 4 GB of ram running at 2.3GHz on an octa-core processor. It has LTE unlocked option (you can get it for around $200 without this.) A stunning 2560x1600 pixel screen. It's android, so you have an external sd card slot. Got mine on ebay - new for under $300. For that price, or even at a hundred more, nothing compares. Before you buy something simply for the label: look at the specs of those more expensive tablets recommended in this thread -- twice the price with half the performance.
CS has 3rd party app limitations, so you need to make sure those limitations won't affect your use case. It's also much heavier than a normal tablet. However it is supposed to have the ability to play a 4K resolution video straight from your craft camera to a 4K TV via HDMI. I haven't seen this work yet, but I'm told it works. Since the CS is self powered, you can remove it from the RC and use it as a video player. I'm interested to see how this media player works.
Please tell us what you did in "developer mode" to make you table faster. Thanks
