Post by stevejayd »

What do you suggest to run Helicon Remote on?
Smallest, lightest of course.
Thanks,
Steve

We can't make any recommendations because due to the fact that some manufacturers configure Android differently even across different batches of the same model, we can never be sure if the specific device will detect USB camera or not. But I'd look at Sony Xperia Mini line, perhaps. Keep in mind that the smaller the screen, the less useful it is.

One more question
I guess the Sony is better since it has the USB port ?
I normally used your Windows version on a laptop inside but now I'm going to do macro on a field trip
Is the android version as robust as the Windows version ?

iPad mini works, but Wi-Fi only, as well as all other iOS devices.
Every phone has a USB port, but not all phones have USB OTG support.

Right now I'd have to say the Android version is not as robust as the Windows one. It's not terrible, but it may crash occasionally for a reason we can't determine yet.
