I have an FLX (with monitor port) but I've dumped my monitor in favour of a tablet. Being smaller is easier to carry to a gig and it works just as well.

Android is fine, I've tried that. iPad is available but I've settled on a re-furbished Windows tablet with a docking station so I can use wired network (with or without a router) and I can run other software (like the fixture definition editor) without carrying a laptop. I can also use a mouse if I want, saves reaching over the desk to touch the screen.

I reckon a lot of users have started to do this - it makes FLX even more portable!

I guess this also allows you to use a Bluetooth keyboard with the Windows tablet too, to give you access to the new keyboard shortcuts?

I expect it would, right now however I'm using a wired one with a mouse through a KVM because I also have a laptop running Capture. The KVM didn't seem to like the desk so I have another keyboard for that.

Living room table, lock down lighting :)

FLX with Wing in a flight case - cute!

Standard flight case (looks like a Swan) or custom?

Definitely interested to hear about your tablet setup.

Yep, bought a Swan FLX+wing case, made a dog box, re-arranged the foam quite a bit, added a handle on one end and wheels on the other.

I described the tablet set up in some detail in the FLX topic "Tablette wifi ou par cable?". I'm sure there must be a better way to link to it but I don't know it.
