About to Purchase an IRIS or Quad, having trouble deciding on a tablet

Posted by Jack Kohut on December 10, 2013 at 10:48am

Hey Everyone,  This is my first post thanks for having me on DIY Drones

I'm about to purchase a IRIS or a Quad from 3dr robotics.  One of my main things I want to use is follow me mode when I ride my bike just for a few shots in open areas.  From what I understand you need a GPS usb stick for the laptop to get follow me to function properly.

As far as using a tablet do you need gps capabilities or does it communicate through the telemetry for follow me?

I was looking at the nexus 7 or the a13 with the usb fix.  Has anyone had any experience with these tablets and using follow me mode?

Thanks a lot!

Jack

    Hi Jack,  have you ever received an answer about the tablet?   I also want to buy the correct tablet for my Iris.  Mine wont be here for a few weeks, so I though I would search to see if anyone had answers to what you asked.

    I use galaxy note 3, note 2 before that, and galaxy note 10.1.
    For follow me, I think you'd prefer a phone or phablet, not a pad.

    The tablet would need to have a GPS, just like a laptop so I guess the N7 is a good bet. I have not tried follow me.
