Phantom 3S without a compatible phone

[RespectMyAuthoritahh]

Did anybody fly a Phantom 3 Standard using a non-compatible phone?
What was your range,how far did your Phantom go?
Did your range or live feed increase once you started flying with a compatible phone? Phantom 3 Standard - Specs, FAQ, manual, video tutorials and DJI GO - DJI
This is a list of compatible phones for the Phantom 3S

 

[umanbean]

None of my phones or tablets that I use to fly with are on the 'compatible' list. Whether or not DJI thinks your device is 'compatible' has nothing to do with whether it will work or not. They couldn't possibly test every make and model of phone in the world.

Which device you use also has nothing to do with range.

Live feed will be affected if you use an under-spec'd device -- too little RAM, too slow CPU, or even too many apps left running in the background, etc

The phone or tablet displays the liveview but it doesn't fly the drone or affect the range.

As above ... the list is only as far as DJI has bothered to test.

I have used Samsung, Nexus, Huawei, Cavion, cheap Banggood Magnatek, many different in fact and all worked fine. The Banggood 10" was actually VERY good !! But it is one of their fast jobbies I use for keeping up with work when travelling through airports etc.

No need to apologize my man, we all started somewhere

Good luck, come back with any questions you may have. ?

 

[solentlife]

When starting out any new venture - there are NO stupid questions or need for apologies.

Everyone starts from ZERO.

What we hope is that people who go before - experience, learn and pass onto next. So we evolve.

Exactly.

Humanity, and Technology, would not have evolved as far and as fast as it has without the basic human desire to help and share.

I've seen first-time posters come here with a bad attitude to begin with - impatient, demanding, and generally piffed off... no one really wants to help them but many try anyway.

OP... With your attitude, people will fall all over themselves to help you!

Good luck
