I don't know of any cameras that work with just a tablet (but I don't really follow the tablet side). I think you are limited by drivers to just Windows and Linux. There are a few options that use a Raspberry Pi (or one in a proprietary box) to control the camera and capture the images and then you control that from a tablet. Most of the newer CMOS cameras are lighter than a camera with a similar sensor size. You will have to factor in a power supply for cooling. Typical draw would average around 1A.

I'm thinking specifically of the QHY 367C and running it via SharpCap on a Surface Pro 6 tablet ... check it out at QHY 367C.

Well that is a very nice little device!  Basically, it's a Sony A7R sensor, with cooling, packaged for raw access over USB3. Seems to be about $4.4K, which is really cheap for what it is. Tempting indeed....

It only does 3.2FPS at full resolution, so scanning a large area isn't going to be blazingly fast....
