Thanks. I have been reading threads and looking over the ones in the dji approved list. I may keep looking/reqding for a little while longer and then decide to either spend the money and get a mini. Although, I have been seeing some decent comments about the Nexus 7 II and a few on the Nexus 9. May look more into those 2 tablets.
I'm an Android guy for my every day phone needs.
Samsung S7 and a Motorola Moto Z2.
Last year before I purchased the Spark, I read all kinds of threads about how some Droids work, others don't, but the Apples all seemed to work with little to no problem compared to the Droids.
Android has so many platforms and devices where as Apple not so many and this made it easier for DJI to work with from a programming point of view.
Long story short, I purchased a mini4 as a dedicated device, my first Apple product, other than an iPod or two, and I have had good flights with it and the larger display is nice too.
Although I do have a tablet holder, the mini4 will fit in the remote if you don't want to purchase one.
You can use it around the house when not flying to watch YouTube, Netflix, or chat on Forum's such as this.
It's WiFi only with no GPS so I don't get a live map when flying but can cache a map before flight if needed.
You're doing the right thing by researching all of your options and good luck on your purchase.
