Testing cheap dual OS tablet as FPV

nikon. · May 12, 2015

I ordered the Chuwi Vi8.
That's an €100,- 8" inch dual OS tablet (Windows 8.1 & Android). I wanna use it as FPV tablet with my P3P. It haves also an HDMI-output option.
I will keep you guys posted when the tablet arrives. Maybe another good and cheap solution for FPV.

There are several reviews, including this one about the tablet.

Update: Got the tablet today. Works really smooth with no bugs or lag (Android 4.4 with Pilot App 1.1.0). Great tablet! Really recommended!

Seriously! A tablet that works good for about $100! Nice! Anything you don't like about it? Have you tried the windows side yet?

Nice! Thanks for sharing!
It only took a few days to get from bang good?

Yes. Shipped with DHL (Express Delivery), but have not a nice suprise because DHL add local taxes and custom border values. So that adds 40,- extra for me. So my advice: ship with low cost to avoid added taxes etc.

Got the X98 Air 3G from aliexpress.com. It was about $130 on sale when I bought it. Works great!

I purchased a $40 droid tab from PC Richards. It was crap. Resolution was horrible and the tab itself was laggy.

So Intel cpus work, great news. Show us a footage how smooth it is.

I will post a video this week, when the weather is better.

keep u guys posted

I tested it in direct sunlight, similar to my nexus 5, So not bad at all, but a sun shade would make it even better.

Thanks for all the info.

Wow very nice. Dual OS and HDMI output for that price, thanks for recommending this, I'll probably buy it.

nikon. · May 20, 2015

It's a very nice tablet. It has a micro-HDMI port, so you maybe need an conversion (microHDMI - HDMI)cable, like this ($2,-).

Its now at 87.99$ during 4 days, this is a great price for a 2GB ram, 32GB dual OS tablet: http://j.mp/1djvWL7

@nikon does the tablet has brightness to be used in sun light? Can you show us how fast it is? Seems a great deal.

nikon. · May 20, 2015

Brightness can be compared with the LG (Google) Nexus 5, so its average but good with a sun shade. I buyed it from Banggood too. Very good service and shipping. They send the tablet in their own box instead of the factory box. So it's better protected from falling / delivery shocks etc.
It's really a great deal. I will post some images later this week

Thanks again nikon , really for the price we can't get anything better.

I'd be so afraid to do anything on a tablet that cheap. Isn't the license for Windows 8.1 alone more expensive than that tablet? I'd be concerned about non-licensed versions of Windows/Android/Play Store etc. that are all hacked with malware out of the box. Just sayin'...
