Excuse my ignorance, but how are you guys using tablets with the Phantom 2 Vision Transmitter? I need two hands to fly my Phantom.

This is my third hand

So that is connected to the Transmitter? Can I see a picture of the whole thing?

Thanks

The tablet is on top of a tripod (scroll the image). WiFi Extender is on transmitter.

Thanks

Heres how I did it, bought the ARKON Tripod mount (it has a ball socket same size as the tx smartphone clamp.)
Also...most of my flying is lateral not vertical control..pictures do take a little hands off time. I also intend to get the 7th channel pitch control lever for the back of the transmitter.

Well I have my tablet setup and working. Now my problem is the distance in the App is way off. It's a 1000' off. When I used my iPhone it was right on. This is the android app. The tablet does have a gps on. I even loaded a google map in it also. It showed the correct location and the phantom. Any ideas ?

If you are talking about distance on the "google maps" location of your Vision.. if tablet is not subscribed to a phone service, ie: (wifi only), try caching the map data in the google maps program by typing, "Okay Maps", Without quotes, while you are connected to the internet. That will store the map data you have selected in your screen...I typically do a few miles in either direction....Zoom in after you are back OFFLINE. And the zoom goes all the way in. Indicating successful caching.

The tablet has a gps in it. It's wifi only. In the app when your the distance on screen is off. By a thousand feet.
I even tried loading google map when I hooked up to the internet.
Made no difference.

It does the job OK. There have been a couple of times where I bumped the tablet causing it to come out of the holder. Fortunately none resulted in the tablet hitting a hard surface.

Do you think I could use my Macbook Pro for my screen or is it just out of the question?
