[Therion] Best caving tablet
I'm using a 7" tablet. But I have it in a waterproof soft case (silicone?) and I have a 4" battery charger (10,000maH) in the case with the tablet. The battery charger makes a great handle actually.

An RPDA with IP65 protection, or semi rugged EDA version, Ebay from about £20. The EDA needs some extra protection but thats not too hard to do. While these windows mobile PDAâs are so cheap, they seem to be the answer until rugged tablets get to a sensible price.

You need to be able to cave with the device in your hand, and unless you only survey large walking passages with flat floors you will appreciate something that you can climb around the cave while holding in one hand. Also makes packing the device for transportation through crawls and awkward entrance series much easier. I am often surveying 3 hours from an entrance and having a light weight compact kit means it always gets taken on exploration trips in case we make a break through. So we often leave the cave with data on the trip where a discovery was made.
