quick report on using a kindle Fire 7 with the Spark

[BrianP]

flew the Spark today, using my cheapo Kindle Fire 7.

+) battery life is fantastic compared to my smartphone
+) bigger screen helped
+) no issues today (didn't fly high or far as subject was 20m high and close by)

-) had to search for 'how'
-) screen dim in sunlight
-) being android I guess the otg cable is pointless for now

so... first impressions are good!

video to follow!!!

BrianP: How has it gone with your use of Kindle Fire 7. I'm considering getting one. Any guidance will be welcome.

It is still a small display but the major plus factor for me was the battery life compared to my iphone 6.
Didn't much like the fire interface and screen recording but once you got the dji go4 app running everything was fine.
It is a bit of a long winded process getting go4 app on the fire but lots of info on youtube.

I bought a fire with a cracked screen for £20 and just fitted a screen protector so the cheapo test was always just a test. It worked out fine!

I am without a spark now so cannot comment on absolute up to date info.
Good Luck !
