Just got my nvidia shield today. So much better than my note 4 I was using. I put an anti glare screen protector on it and will test it all this weekend, as I've had my p4p since Friday and haven't had a chance to fly with it. I spent hours researching the best tablets for the dji remote. From what I read, which was over 100 posts, is the best/powerful ios device is the ipad pro. The best/powerful android device is the nvidia k1. I went for the K1 because I'm an android guy. Plus it's 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of the ipad pro.
Anyways, just fiddling with the k1, it's very fast and I haven't experienced any lag whatsoever. Plus it's 8 inches and pretty light weight.

Don't mean to flame your thread but why would you buy a $1200 P4P and go for the cheapest model tablet for the controller?
Not sure if I'm right, but it seems the DJI products were designed to work better with Apple products. I see a large amount of issues being posted about this or that android device.
Incidentally, the iPad mini 4 and iPad air2 are the same price in either wifi only or cellular variant with the latter having a larger screen and faster processor.
Just curious.

Agreed....on IOS...That's my one concern about the forthcoming Crystalsky monitors from DJI..They will be bright but not running IOS!
Hi guys! I need a tablet with GPS, because if I need to do follow me or refresh home point, I will like to do. Nvidia Shield doesn't have, and iPad isn't an option because I never liked Apple.
I don't need a huge screen. With 7 inches I'll be good... which you suggest?
Happy new year for everyone in advance!

You can find a compatible 7" tablet here.
Even if you're not an Apple guy, you will be very pleased with an Apple device. They work very well right out of the box.
Don't mind at all. LoL that's what I expect from the internet LoL.
My issue is I'm currently out of work due to a shoulder rotator cuff surgery that I had a couple of weeks ago. The P4P came from my "toy" fund. I can buy an iPad, but then I'll drain that account. So I decided to go a little cheaper and save some cash for now. The nvidia shield isn't a waste on my part. I'll sell it and get an iPad when I go back to work.
If the android platform isn't to my liking, then I'll just use my iPhone 7 plus until I go back.
Plus, the shield only cost me $130 brand new on Amazon.
The answer will most likely be...no we can't afford it, but that wont stop many of us from buying one anyway.
If you sign up for the Amazon credit card, they give you a $70 off credit towards your first purchase. I didn't want the credit card, but the $70 off was worth it. I'll pay it when the card comes in and let it sit for a while before canceling it.

But these list says that Nvidia Shield K1 HAS GPS. In B&H webpage says GPS - Yes.
I read here that K1 don't have GPS, thats why I deleted it from the list!
If K1 has GPS, it's the best option for me! These GPS works fine with DJI GO? I can't understand why a user (I cant remember who) tells that K1 don't have GPS, and worse is my forgotten to google that

Having GPS in your phone or tablet on the RC is essential if you ever want to fly from a boat. Otherwise RTH will take it back to where you launched the bird, not where you are now.
I just looked at Amazon's listing, and it's $200. Did you buy yours used through Amazon?
For whats it worth my experience is as follows: I'm apple all the way as the Go App is more Apple friendly. If you want an Ipad mini get a mini 4 as previous models don't have anti-glare screens and that does make a difference. I moved from mini 3 to mini 4 to see this. I then moved to Ipad pro 9.7 which is actually the biggest that will fit on holder.
That is the main reason I went with the shield. I really want an iPad Pro, but need to wait to go back to work again before I can swing it. The $130 price for the shield means I can sell it and not take a huge loss on it.

I'm an Android user but in this case I'm considering an ipad. If you read through the support forums you'll find a DJI rep fielding years of complaints from Android users and part of their gripe is that the issue was fixed months/years ago on Apple. The rep told them that every implementation of Android is different so tracking down problems is much more difficult. I hope your K1 never has a problem. I'd rather buy that if I was convinced it would remain problem free.
