I have an ASUS ZenPad 8 which works great with a Phantom 3. It runs Android 6. I also acquired the K1 Shield from NVIDIA running Android 7. I am partial to the Shield but continue to use the ASUS as Litchi seems to like it better than the NVIDIA.
Storage not that critical unless you're going to use it to edit. Or you plan on caching your flight video. I always turn caching off as the video on the camera is superior.
Good point. However, I download the photos/videos to the ipad while onsite. Quick verification before I leave. Best to have enough space to hold everything you may have on a mission. 4K video is easily 400 - 800 mb for a minute or two. Better to be on the safe side. 64GB would be ample if you offload once home. Problem is the smaller ones are now harder to find, cause the resellers want the benjamins.
You only need wi-fi. I have two tablets that I use and neither one has cellular connectivity.
That's interesting, I have been told that the compass works off of cellular and without it the compass positioning won't work properly. Could you please tell me where you got your information and how do you know that your compass is working properly. This website is where I got my info and have trusted it to be true. I have no real proof and am not trying to correct you, just want to make sure that I am doing the right thing. Perhaps someone with much more knowledge than us could help us both out here.
I'm happy to try and clarify. I fly a P3 Standard.
