What type of phone or tablet should I buy to fly my new drone uav uas? Android or iOS?
I am personally looking for a new phone and a couple of drones (uav uas) to purchase. Be aware that your current phone or tablet may or may not be compatible with the Multirotor or Fixed Wing you are interested in. So I started this painstaking search to determine what phones/tablets are compatible with what popular drones (uav uas).
Parrot: Very interesting drones, am considering one for myself. I called customer support, pick up time was fast, and I spoke with a person who was really not very helpful. His std answer was "it depends on the type of product (bebop, AR 2.0, spider) and what model android or ios you have." He advised me to look thru the manuals or find it in the news page (blog). I didn't have the patience to look thru the manuals, so I tried the news page. There are thousands of posts there , and unless you know the exact string to search for, forget it. As I was leaving the support page, I noticed this:
Click on "Phone compatibility".
Parrot gives you a very interactive selection tool, with more phones and tablets than I ever knew existed. This is just what I was looking for:
You can search by your device, say you have an iphone 5:
Below you will then see the Parrot products which are compatible.
Or, you can search by Parrot product:
And again, below you will then see the phones and tablets which are compatible.
Stay tuned for more phone and tablet compatibility reports with other popular drone uas uav models coming soon. See you then.
