[QUOTE="Sparky2018, post: 44233, member: 9132"] I am a new drone owner and am on the fence about what type of video monitoring I would like to use. I currently have a Samsung S7 phone but have it in a Lifeproof case so it won't fit into the actual RC. I do know they make phone holders or I could also fabricate something up for it but I'm not sure either way if I'd be happy with the size of the screen. Since I already had a Samsung phone I started looking at Samsung tablets. I really like the size of say the Tab A or Tab E size. I think they are around 8 inches or so. The price of them were a little more attractive as well but I do know you get what you pay for. I was in Best Buy last night talking to a sales person and we did go look at iPads. I did like the size of the Mini 4 but but right next to it was "the latest" iPad with an A10 chip in it which is suppose to be the latest and greatest, fastest, ect but it was the full size iPad EDIT: 9.7" SCREEN for less money than the 4 year old design Mini 4. After seeing my choices, I want to consult the body of the forum with a few questions. I like the idea of it being a better processor and a bigger viewer screen but was wondering how bulky would it be? I like to see the joy sticks of the controller, so a good sturdy front tablet mount is important to me but how tippy, or unbalance would that make the controller? A mount no seeing the sticks on the Spark wouldn't be a huge deal breaker on the Spark RC but I did also purchase a Mavic Pro Platinum and that RC does have some LED readouts on the remote that would be nice to see. I did see a front mount for the MPP that you can still read the screen. Just kind of on the fence with direction to go and was hoping for possible input from guys/gals that have flown with a full size iPad, what types of mounts you prefer, and are you happy with your set up or is it just a bit too bulky and unbalanced? Thanks for taking the time to read all this and look forward to your responses. Doug [/QUOTE]
