The smart controller and the crystal sky monitor has full hd screen 1920x1080 and this tripltek has only hd screen 1280x720.Remember the ocusync system is full hd transmission 1920x1080.
Major drawback on android app will keep crashing so drone crash lol. Put rugged life proof case on iPad , dropped it hundred times no damage. Good video cheers from Toronto
Steve, With that being an Android device did you have any issues with doing software updates? I had major issues with doing updates with both my android phone and my android tablet on my Mavic 2 Zoom. I borrowed a friends iPhone to do the updates. Finally bought my own Ipad and have not had an issue since.
I purchased this tablet three weeks ago and it is wonderful for flying drones. I dumped my ipad mini for the Tripltek. The only complaint I have is that it is still running Android 9, and the current version that is shipping with new cell samsung phones is 11. Still well worth the money if you are flying drones.
I bought it too... a little shocked I cant watch and edit videos greater then 1080p, it just cant handle it, a lot of lag... adleast I thought I could watch my videos made by drone... Is this normal? Or should the tablet squeeze the video to be watcable? and the dark theme only works in half... oh... and DJI fly app froze two times in one week while flying...
never had an issue controlling any drone till I got the MA2 and had to use the fly app... Almost gave up and was going to send the drone back (dji was no help at all) but finally bought a new ipad mini and that worked. I even had phones that dji said would work but didn't. I'll only recommend dji/W/fly app if someone has newer apple ios device. wish I would have just bought the evo 2 pro 6k. If I only knew then what I know now...
I watch all of your videos, even for things I would never buy. Even though this product isn't on my list it's good to know what's available (even if only for comparison purposes). Keep up the great work.
This tablet seems very complete to me, the only thing missing is an HDMI port to connect any other device such as goggles or a larger TV, of course it could be connected by a device with wireless chroncast. Thanks Captain Drone
Since there is no HDMI port, use a Wireless HDMI Display Dongle Adapter and connect that to your goggles. You connect this tablet wirelessly to the adapter, the adapter is connected to the goggles via HDMI port and you'll be able to FPV. I have this tablet (pro version) plus the adapter and fatshark HDO2. Works perfectly.
I have the Fimi and there is no way I would use a tablet holder with it, I don't like the thought of having to go to the gym 5 days a week just to build up the strength in my arms to be able to hold it steady. It looks like a good tablet but I'll just stick with my Lenovo M8 as my interface thank you
I was watching a lot of drone videos on my video projector yours included with a 100 inch screen a reclining chair and a great pair of headphones it looked Glorious. And the 4K projectors are getting cheaper slowly.
Outstanding Steve, As always, your Spot on, I am So Excited about my New Replacement, that is on it's way, TripleTek has the Best Product and by Far the Best Customer Care Service, They are Very Humble and nice ,professional Human beings, that I have ever dealt with, Anyone wanting the Best Tablet for all your needs, Thus is the Tablet to get. My Respect for this Company is off the Chart . Thank you Steve, and Thank you TripleTek. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family and TripleTek
Hey Capt. Like the format of your reviews. It has to be a challenge convincing yourself to drive out to your favorite park during days where the "mercury" collects in the bottom of the tube. It's somewhat more mild here in Florida during the 3rd week of Jan.(H2O is still in liquid form) I realize Drone rules differ between countries and various locals. Here in the U.S. max HAGL is 400ft except when a tower or building is avail in the FZ. In witch case 400ft "above" said structure is permitted. It would be very valuable to know which drone systems permit altitude flying above 400ft. I've noticed most drones don't allow this with the packaged software. The info is also lacking on most websites selling the drones. Another value add feature I notice on some of your drone videos is way point tracking overlaying a map. Knowing which drones can reliably accomplish this is also of value I think. Thank you again for your excellent reviews. Stay warm!
Most of my drones don't need a tablet and that thing costs more than most of them! I can see that working well with my mavic. In my drone bag, I use an old tablet for beta fight stuff. I got it for free during the time when everyone was giving them away for signing up for some service. It's definitely not rugged like this one and slow! Its popped apart a few times too.
Looks like a great tablet. I would buy it just for the NITS. My concern is the weight. Am I going to get tired of holding the RC&Tablet (plus - what if I need a tablet holder) after flying for an hour?
The thing that sucks is the screen resolution. 720p isn’t that great especially if your out far from home and you want to do some post work. 1080p would be much better on a screen that size. The iPhone has a much higher resolution screen and it’s how much smaller? And the specs are really nothing to write home about. Sure it’s rugged but who takes their drone out in the water? Or their remote in the water? Good review but I don’t know I could say these are better then a refurbished iPad for $270. Maybe I just don’t understand. I like that last tablet holder though for the DJI controller. I’ll be picking one of those up. Thank you.
I just bought the tripltek 8gb with the mini 1 stand and the anti glare screen for $750.99 that way when I decide to upgrade the drone I will still have the bad ass hardware like this tablet....
I purchased the Tripltek Pro for my Evo II Pro because of the issues I was having in the sun, but there was about a 2 second latency with it. I tried everything to to adjust this out but no luck and I returned it.
Looks nice and I want one. But, it's Android 8.1 and the current android is 11.0. My older tablet can't upgrade to the new version of Android, so will this run into the same problem 3 or 4 years from now? Don't want to spend that kinda of money on something I can't update in 2 or 3 years(last tablet lasted 6 years/$180). Sorry, I'm not techy so I'm not familiar with these things. Thanks for any insight.
I just got a triplets 8. Incredible! I live in montreal and have an iPhone 7 with rogers. I want to be able to use either my iPhone or my tripltek for a phone. I know I can just move the SIM card back and forth but having an identical copy of my SIM card would be way more convenient. Any suggestions?
So if I already own a 7.85” ultra Crystal Sky and want something for my Autel Evo 2 pro would you use crystal or invest in this Tripletek Pro? Do you need SIM card in for maps I take it?
I saw your last review and was impressed. I use a smart controller but screen is a wee bit small. This tablet is superb but has one massive problem. How it is fixed to a controller makes it very awkward. Should have a system like the crystalsky on my phantom. Until this is sorted I won’t buy. I really want to buy. Great video BTW.
Nothing really. I've been disappointed in pretty much all tablets for use with a drone. They are just not bright enough, hence why this is one of the few that works.
On my blumming Pixel 3xl the app for the pro doesn't work....a tablet I have doesn't show the image from the camera but all the other info is shown.... It's a mare tbh.
Problem with separate screens like crystal sky and tripltek tablet is they still need original controller and this controller can charge the screen but not it self when controller dies there no way to charge it on the recording site so dji sells a "smart"controller for a stellar price 600$.
Captain Drone, I am looking for your input, as I am compilating replacing my moveria bt-300 smart glasses with the Tripltek pro, since you have reviewed both products...do you feel this would be a good trade off? I don't find that I am using the bt-300 as often, as intended and I'm thinking the processing power is more robust with the Tripltek Pro , which would eliminate the lag that I sometimes experience with the bt-300 smart glasses, while providing a bright screen on sunny days. Your input is much appreciated.
I bought the slower one. I've tried everything I can think of, but no luck plugging my DJI Smart Controller into it as an extra screen. Using the power mirror app is a total pain which I haven't figured out yet. If I find that this PRO has an upgraded USB port I'm gonna' be pissed.
Really impressive, but I would love at least 1080p resolution for that price, I mean if you want to use it as a tablet and watch RUclips and stuff, 720 at this size isn't that impressive! But the the spec, really really good! I'm not an apple fan so this is basically my only option 😂
Hi Captain Drone Thinking of buying the Triple tec tablet to use with the Evo 2 pro drone,wondering if it would work with the Epson bt35e glasses. Please please get back to me. Matt.
Based on Amazon reviews the thing isn’t even Google Play certified. So it’s not a multi use tablet and you’ll end up needing to side-load apps/games on it which is not the most secure thing to do.
It is due to Beginners getting into the Drone hobby. Beginners start at level zero and want everything in a box so the Camera Drone Hobby that uses a cells phone or tablet is designed for beginners and everything you need to get going is all in one box. This means that each drone has a different controller that only works with the one drone it was intended for. The other more advanced drone hobby is the FPV DRONE HOBBY and that is where you have to own your own gear and your fly with goggles on your face.
I just bought the 8 pro version of tripltek, what's with the lag issue. Only issue reported with DJI Fly App. I tried it on other tablets and mobile phones and no issue. Its very intermittent. My other friends drone community also purchased same tripltek 8 pro and experiencing only with DJI. Autel and even lower grade units are flawless. Perhaps, hardware/software conflicts
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 negative. As u can read other devices are not having issues. It's not a transmission feed problem. It's a buffering issue as I just debugged it. The GPU cannot handle the DJI fly app data rates. The other drones are more software compatible with this device. Sorry DJI customers. Not going to work despite what these people falsely state. I have 30 people who also purchased this unit and all have DJI and autel drones. Only DJI is having issues. The autel and others aren't. As for using other tablets they work flawlessly. As for DJI Crystal display, also work flawlessly. My Galaxy Note 10+ and note 20 also work flawlessly. This is hardware related. The GPU cannot handle DJI.
@@alexlouis2560 The same problem exists with the DJI Phantom Pro and Crystal Sky which is why I said as a ‘newbie’ (I.e. you don’t have a long history with DJI) so your unaware of how they construct their apps and the fix for different phones, tablets and even DJI products is to first go to the Transmission setting of the app and change it so that it does not send your device a high res image. Then, if your phone or tablet is not compatible with how DJI does their cache, then that needs to be changed as well.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 it's a compression issue. During process of illumination, if other devices are not having issues, you shall keep all settings equally. I tried various revisions 1410, 1420, 1425 of the 1.4.12 and still unsuccessful. I checked to see if any other apps are hindering the processor and none of which detected. So I compiled against the GPU and it's struggling. The latency is within the GPU rendering and therefore the output is going to result as such. I ran a spectrum analysis to scan the RF to see if any possible other RF interferences detected or present, none. Checked the gain levels and I far exceed such with an long range antenna, shhhh FCC. My next step will be pushing against the CPU to see if any other unknown problems. I have tested 9 devices of the 8 pro version Tripltek and all are showing same results. The touch screen is also having some latency problems on some high intensive websites. The wifi module isn't properly scripted to handle portal authentication, so no Xfinity Customers nor Corporate authentication portal abilities. I'll report back with more tests. I might get the other 21 devices to preform the tests if needed just in case anyone else thinks I need to.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 why would anyone lower the bitrate information for a new device when other drones of higher bitrate arent experiencing said issue. To compensate for a manufacturer incompatibility issues is hindering the review and authenticity of this device. I'm aware of changing the threshold and I may be a newb to the market of this manufacturer but Im an engineer with many years (18) with various other high end drones at the industrial level. I can jtag this device and halt the bootloader and compile directly. This isn't my first rodeo.
Fantastic videos! Thank you so much for you efforts. I am wondering if you have any thoughts on mission planning software? I would like to be able to setup way-points and get my drones (and other RC craft) to fly circuits. Maybe a review is in order?
I have no suggestions because in my country it is not allowed since we have to keep drones in site. Most good drones come with such software, like AUTEL II drones.
I am very impressed by this presentation, Well done! I was doing some research as to whether to get this tablet or not and one the issues that I came across is the tablet depleting the charge on remote controller. Any more info on this ? also is charging tablet in EU (ire) an issue as regarding connections etc.?
ANY android device will deplete the battery on the controller as its a default setting for android devices. On apple you have to turn that option on to charge the phone from the controller. TBH Id like the option to turn it off when using android devices with large batteries such as this one.
Is it a good idea to order from Bangood as I’ve read some people have had delays when ordering drones from China.As ime interested in the Hubsan zino 2.
I've been ordering from Banggood for six years without a problem. Just loose any thoughts you have that it is a NORTH AMERICAN store, so don't expect the same thing.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks just after some reassurance, as you can imagine, it’s a lot of money, as I’ve given up trying to get a ps5, “thanks scalpers”,been snowing here I made a Egyptian Sphinx in the snow, ime going to send my pro epic up to get a nice snowy scenic shot, what a great drone it is.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 captain drone..I know or USb c with alt display ouput..problem is you cannot connect to remote st the same time....tripeltek is fantastic if not for fact it doesmt have a hdmi ouput..else it's perfect for current drones.bright remote screen with epson glasses together!.when I googled for other tablets or mobiles with hdmi What I do get is older phones or tablets that cost less than 300..I'm unsure whether there will be performance issues running the dji apps...I willshow done of this in my next reply...or do u have any to recommend or maybe make a video about!.?
Go into system settings and tell us what Android 9 security patch level it’s at. I suspect with the older version of Android that it runs that it has a patch level that is a year or more out of date.
Maybe I missed it, but what about the screen in full sunlight? That's what's killing me right now - can only really fly early or late in the day, or standing in good shade.
I purchased a pro tablet and with the fly app for mavic air 2 it crashes when I try and change the quick FN button features in the program, any thoughts on why, Thanks
@@dannymyers5862 Strange. The reason why anyone would think that is strange is because once the DJI FLY APP is running, it is then communicating with the controller/drone via the USB-C Port and everything you mentioned is just a simple software change when you make such a change which would then tell most people that it is a glitch in the app (unfortunately apps crash on different devices since they just can't be designed to work on everything out there)
Do you need to use your phone's hot-spot to allow tablet to enable google maps to work (if you don't want to keep swapping sim card between tablet and phone everytime) ?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 My plan to use this tablet with Epson Moverio BT-35e (with Mini 2 in mind) is: enable hotspot mode, download a screen mirroring app on tablet; send image to a chromecast (powered by controller or tablet - using existing hotspot) plug into Moverio connection box.... should work ok ? What do you think Captain ? Can you please try this out ? (with whatever Moverio glasses you have)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, I just rewatched your review video that you gave them back-were you tempted to buy them ? I’m soo looking forward to getting them (when I can afford to that is !!)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for your answer. I got the DJi tablet holder from the Tripltek website, but it's not the same as in the video. The attachment is different.
Excellent tablet report. Would you consider doing a comparison review of Tripltek Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Tab "Active-3" water-resistant 8” Rugged Tablet (SM-T577UZKDXAA).
There are hundreds of stores around the world so each time I show a product you must look in the video description below the video (click on the SHOW MORE) and there you will find everything you need to find the product.
DJI dropped the ball on their CrystalSky monitors from the getgo. They were way pricey , only supported third party apps with much difficulty, had very few FW updates, and no new models have been offered since release. I own both the 5.5" and the larger Ultrabrite one and have often wished that DJI would at least offer a little support , but no joy here as they won't even work with the new Mavic Air or the Mini drones. I had hoped that my purchase would be functional going forward with new drone generations and models , but hell no. CS beat the pants off of any iPad for brightness, even with a hood attached on the iPad , but I find myself preferring goggles these days and mostly don't use the CS monitors much if at all. This reviewed product is cheaper , runs apps, and has already been updated in a short span, but I wonder if it isn't too late in the drone saturation curve to have much of an impact what with new rules from the FAA and a stalled economy.
Nothing about screen resolution in the specs on Amazon. But that's okay, anything shipping with Android 8.1 (3 year old OS, Android 11 is current), isn't something I'll get in a lather about.
Ended up with an Autel Evo II Pro, and a Pixel 4a5G. For less money, a bright OLED phone that's also a 4K 60 optically stabilized camera, plays back my Autel 4K vids without so much as a hiccup
I purchased it.. a little shocked I cant watch and edit videos greater then 1080p, it just cant handle it, a lot of lag... adleast I thought I could watch my videos made by drone... Is this normal? Or should the tablet squeeze the video to be watcable? I contacted them and they say it doesn't handle it cause it is 4k. But with my phones I never had any problem viewing any video made by mini2. And the dark theme only works in half... oh... and DJI fly app froze two times in one week while flying... I just think something is wrong with it, for such specifications I expected more... What do you think? Help, please...
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, I have the pro model, I always make sure there is no background processes, check the cables... And I don't have any other apps installed. Even reinstalled DJI fly app, but it froze again. And the camera picture has big lagging, and flashes while filming. Just unable to make smooth videos like that... So you are saying I shold be able to watch 4k videos from mini 2 with it? Cause it is just not possible with mine... And the Tripltek support say that: As I can see on the video, the tablet is working perfectly fine. The lag you see is because you are trying to play a 3.6 GB 4K video. The display does not support 4K resolution, as you can see on the tablet specifications. The TRIPLTEK TEAM

The tablet looks pretty durable,your videos are always so entertaining and informative,thanks for making these videos for us👍
The smart controller and the crystal sky monitor has full hd screen 1920x1080 and this tripltek has only hd screen 1280x720.Remember the ocusync system is full hd transmission 1920x1080.
good catch 1080p is pretty much a standard these days, I'm really surprised this isn't actually.

I know I can just move the SIM card back and forth but having an identical copy of my SIM card would be way more convenient. Any suggestions?
Only one SIM card is permitted per phone customer per contract. You'd probably have to buy a PAY AS YOU GO SIM card.
So if I already own a 7.85” ultra Crystal Sky and want something for my Autel Evo 2 pro would you use crystal or invest in this Tripletek Pro? Do you need SIM card in for maps I take it?
I personally use the Apple Mini 5 W/ 64GB it has a case and does everything !!
Don't get me wrong this is a nice tablet but with a Otter Box the Mini 5 is much cheaper.

Do you use any anti glare protector on your telephone or tablet when you fly your drone? Or do you try to fly in the shade?
Nothing. I only use phones with the brightest of displays.
The Tripltek looks great but for someone who needs a tablet at a lower budget price, to work with a Mavic Pro, what would you recommend?
Nothing really. I've been disappointed in pretty much all tablets for use with a drone. They are just not bright enough, hence why this is one of the few that works.
On my blumming Pixel 3xl the app for the pro doesn't work....a tablet I have doesn't show the image from the camera but all the other info is shown.... It's a mare tbh.
How does using a large/bright tablet like this compares to flying a drone with VR googles?
You can buy the arrma talion. It has super speed. Probably 125 mph. So if you consider buying it please give a heart. I will you will buy it.
Huh?! This has NOTHING to do with drones.
I would love this for my mini in the desert outback of Oregon.
Problem with separate screens like crystal sky and tripltek tablet is they still need original controller and this controller can charge the screen but not it self when controller dies there no way to charge it on the recording site so dji sells a "smart"controller for a stellar price 600$.
HI, can anyone sugest a good mount bracket that could fit the Tripltek on the Skydio (Parrot Anafi) Remote Controller? Thanks

No problem 👍
Captain Drone, I am looking for your input, as I am compilating replacing my moveria bt-300 smart glasses with the Tripltek pro, since you have reviewed both products...do you feel this would be a good trade off? I don't find that I am using the bt-300 as often, as intended and I'm thinking the processing power is more robust with the Tripltek Pro , which would eliminate the lag that I sometimes experience with the bt-300 smart glasses, while providing a bright screen on sunny days. Your input is much appreciated.
See through glasses for a tablet? Two very different items.
since I have the original tripltek, the question is :Would it be worth it to upgrade for me?, I'm guessing I should wait for the pro II or 3
If you are happy with what you have, then I would wait.
captain A quick question! When I try to assign the Fn button in the menu of DJI Mini 2 it stops the app! You ajve any solutions?
Thank you!
It is all setup in the APP itself.
Hi Steve
Question for you ? What is the you thank to but. This tablette of tripltek or the smart contrôler of DJI
Watch my first review of this tablet.
I bought the slower one. I've tried everything I can think of, but no luck plugging my DJI Smart Controller into it as an extra screen. Using the power mirror app is a total pain which I haven't figured out yet. If I find that this PRO has an upgraded USB port I'm gonna' be pissed.
Great review Captain. Thanks for sharing!
Really impressive, but I would love at least 1080p resolution for that price, I mean if you want to use it as a tablet and watch RUclips and stuff, 720 at this size isn't that impressive! But the the spec, really really good! I'm not an apple fan so this is basically my only option 😂
One question captain, how do you do screen recording on it do you have to download a screen recorder or does it come automatically on TriplTek ?!
It's a tablet so if you wish to screen record you need to download a screen recorder like AZ Screen Recorder.
Can you use this Tablet with Fimi X8 SE 2020 remote control that expands horizontally?
Watch the video for the answer.
Hi Captain Drone
Thinking of buying the Triple tec tablet to use with the Evo 2 pro drone,wondering if it would work with the Epson bt35e glasses. Please please get back to me. Matt.
Based on Amazon reviews the thing isn’t even Google Play certified. So it’s not a multi use tablet and you’ll end up needing to side-load apps/games on it which is not the most secure thing to do.
He will sell any POS.
Dear Bizzobb Foshizzle. Your info is far out of date, this baby is indeed Google Play certified.
Nice one. Can I ask a question? What is the difference between all the DJI controllers? I’m confused as to why each drone has a different controller!
It is due to Beginners getting into the Drone hobby. Beginners start at level zero and want everything in a box so the Camera Drone Hobby that uses a cells phone or tablet is designed for beginners and everything you need to get going is all in one box. This means that each drone has a different controller that only works with the one drone it was intended for. The other more advanced drone hobby is the FPV DRONE HOBBY and that is where you have to own your own gear and your fly with goggles on your face.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you!
Awesome video. Tahnk you. You have a new subcriber. Does this tablet work properly in Spain? Our charger plugs are different as you know.
I believe it should but you would have to ask the company. Send them an email, they respond quickly.
Great tablet and tablet holders. Definitely on my wish list.
I just bought the 8 pro version of tripltek, what's with the lag issue. Only issue reported with DJI Fly App. I tried it on other tablets and mobile phones and no issue. Its very intermittent. My other friends drone community also purchased same tripltek 8 pro and experiencing only with DJI. Autel and even lower grade units are flawless. Perhaps, hardware/software conflicts
Newbie mistake on your part. Go to transmission on reduce it (in the App). Also check your cache settings after you do that.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 negative. As u can read other devices are not having issues. It's not a transmission feed problem. It's a buffering issue as I just debugged it. The GPU cannot handle the DJI fly app data rates. The other drones are more software compatible with this device. Sorry DJI customers. Not going to work despite what these people falsely state. I have 30 people who also purchased this unit and all have DJI and autel drones. Only DJI is having issues. The autel and others aren't. As for using other tablets they work flawlessly. As for DJI Crystal display, also work flawlessly. My Galaxy Note 10+ and note 20 also work flawlessly. This is hardware related. The GPU cannot handle DJI.
@@alexlouis2560 The same problem exists with the DJI Phantom Pro and Crystal Sky which is why I said as a ‘newbie’ (I.e. you don’t have a long history with DJI) so your unaware of how they construct their apps and the fix for different phones, tablets and even DJI products is to first go to the Transmission setting of the app and change it so that it does not send your device a high res image. Then, if your phone or tablet is not compatible with how DJI does their cache, then that needs to be changed as well.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 it's a compression issue. During process of illumination, if other devices are not having issues, you shall keep all settings equally. I tried various revisions 1410, 1420, 1425 of the 1.4.12 and still unsuccessful. I checked to see if any other apps are hindering the processor and none of which detected. So I compiled against the GPU and it's struggling. The latency is within the GPU rendering and therefore the output is going to result as such. I ran a spectrum analysis to scan the RF to see if any possible other RF interferences detected or present, none. Checked the gain levels and I far exceed such with an long range antenna, shhhh FCC. My next step will be pushing against the CPU to see if any other unknown problems. I have tested 9 devices of the 8 pro version Tripltek and all are showing same results. The touch screen is also having some latency problems on some high intensive websites. The wifi module isn't properly scripted to handle portal authentication, so no Xfinity Customers nor Corporate authentication portal abilities. I'll report back with more tests. I might get the other 21 devices to preform the tests if needed just in case anyone else thinks I need to.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 why would anyone lower the bitrate information for a new device when other drones of higher bitrate arent experiencing said issue. To compensate for a manufacturer incompatibility issues is hindering the review and authenticity of this device. I'm aware of changing the threshold and I may be a newb to the market of this manufacturer but Im an engineer with many years (18) with various other high end drones at the industrial level. I can jtag this device and halt the bootloader and compile directly. This isn't my first rodeo.
So quick question whats the maximum extended memory card that can be added to the Pro Tablet by tripltek the model: T7121
128 GIG
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Are you sure someone goofed on Amazon and said 256mb so now I am confused 😕
@@ProLogicEnt1 Sorry, 256 Gigs. Certainly not Megs.
Impressive!!👍🏻👍🏻
Great replacement for my Crystal Sky!!👍🏻👍🏻
Nice Tablet but I already have a designated iPhone and IPad for Drone use only.
Will this work with Skydio 2? Do they have a tablet mount for Skydio2 controller?
Watch the vid, I show the skydio 2 (yes it works)
How is the weight on that thing? I guess I mean when flying the mini 2, does it feel balanced or is it front heavy?
Weight is much heavier than your average tablet due to the massive battery.
Can you use a phone that does not have a sim card in it with no provider to view dji fly app and operate a drone?
Yes
Fantastic videos! Thank you so much for you efforts. I am wondering if you have any thoughts on mission planning software? I would like to be able to setup way-points and get my drones (and other RC craft) to fly circuits. Maybe a review is in order?
I have no suggestions because in my country it is not allowed since we have to keep drones in site. Most good drones come with such software, like AUTEL II drones.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I think we are in the same country. I am working on my TC licences.
@@normancorbett9488 I’m just outside Ottawa, Ontario. Good luck on your in-line exam.
I am very impressed by this presentation, Well done!
I was doing some research as to whether to get this tablet or not and one the issues that I came across is the tablet depleting the charge on remote controller.
Any more info on this ?
also is charging tablet in EU (ire) an issue as regarding connections etc.?
None that I have heard of.
ANY android device will deplete the battery on the controller as its a default setting for android devices. On apple you have to turn that option on to charge the phone from the controller. TBH Id like the option to turn it off when using android devices with large batteries such as this one.
Look’s really good thanks for the video 😉
Which drone controller does that fit in? Non I guess. You probably need some tablet holder and even more, thing to forget to take along.
Video shows all the tablet holders required.
Does it have a screen recorder app included or recommended ?
I am using AZ Screen recorder APP , it is free
Is it a good idea to order from Bangood as I’ve read some people have had delays when ordering drones from China.As ime interested in the Hubsan zino 2.
I've been ordering from Banggood for six years without a problem. Just loose any thoughts you have that it is a NORTH AMERICAN store, so don't expect the same thing.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks just after some reassurance, as you can imagine, it’s a lot of money, as I’ve given up trying to get a ps5, “thanks scalpers”,been snowing here I made a Egyptian Sphinx in the snow, ime going to send my pro epic up to get a nice snowy scenic shot, what a great drone it is.
have a good day steve
Great video Steve btw can you make video about best fpv drone or goggle or can you suggest one for me
Watch my CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS video series for the answer to those questions.
Can you use this tablet for SkyDemon, is it compatible with GPS receiver...
As an android device does it run all drone apps? My Amazon Fire tablet won't run my SP software.
Yes. AMAZON FIRE is only designed for AMAZON... period.
Captain…can u connect epson moverio bt 35e that u reviewed with this …it’s only got usb not hdmi
Requires HDMI for such glasses to work
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 captain drone..I know or USb c with alt display ouput..problem is you cannot connect to remote st the same time....tripeltek is fantastic if not for fact it doesmt have a hdmi ouput..else it's perfect for current drones.bright remote screen with epson glasses together!.when I googled for other tablets or mobiles with hdmi
What I do get is older phones or tablets that cost less than 300..I'm unsure whether there will be performance issues running the dji apps...I willshow done of this in my next reply...or do u have any to recommend or maybe make a video about!.?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 tripltek suggested this windows wireless device I suppose I can connect it to the glasses

Go into system settings and tell us what Android 9 security patch level it’s at. I suspect with the older version of Android that it runs that it has a patch level that is a year or more out of date.
You can update it 🤷♂️
@@Hughjanus720 you can if the manufacturer provides the security updates which is why I asked the unanswered question.
Android 11 upgrade coming soon !
Looking for phone holder for holystone hs720e remote controller. Any suggestions? Thankyou
Use the one shown in this video
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you! Sir. Much appreciated.
Nice! Might need to delay my Robomaster to get one of these first.
Maybe I missed it, but what about the screen in full sunlight? That's what's killing me right now - can only really fly early or late in the day, or standing in good shade.
What about the android charging from the controller issue ? Has this been addressed with this tablet ?
No idea. You'd have to ask the company. Isn't that a DJI Bug?
Nice tablet sir for drone and pretty durable sur😁 that is a android 6 i think but the durability are pretty cool
thanks captain for making these great videos. your the tops
I appreciate that!
I purchased a pro tablet and with the fly app for mavic air 2 it crashes when I try and change the quick FN button features in the program, any thoughts on why, Thanks
That is just very odd. Try another device like your phone and see if it also does it.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 worked fine in my ipad ,
@@dannymyers5862 Strange. The reason why anyone would think that is strange is because once the DJI FLY APP is running, it is then communicating with the controller/drone via the USB-C Port and everything you mentioned is just a simple software change when you make such a change which would then tell most people that it is a glitch in the app (unfortunately apps crash on different devices since they just can't be designed to work on everything out there)
I like the little drone's if you can do more video's with those
Do you need to use your phone's hot-spot to allow tablet to enable google maps to work (if you don't want to keep swapping sim card between tablet and phone everytime) ?
Exactly. If you don't use a SIM card than hotspot is the best. I have to do that with the CRYSTAL SKY and DJI SMART CONTROLLER.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 My plan to use this tablet with Epson Moverio BT-35e (with Mini 2 in mind) is:
enable hotspot mode, download a screen mirroring app on tablet; send image to a chromecast (powered by controller or tablet - using existing hotspot) plug into Moverio connection box.... should work ok ? What do you think Captain ? Can you please try this out ? (with whatever Moverio glasses you have)
@@crighini576 I don't have Moverios
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, I just rewatched your review video that you gave them back-were you tempted to buy them ? I’m soo looking forward to getting them (when I can afford to that is !!)
Still trying to find the 5% coupon for the Tripltek Tablet. tryng to buy it
Contact Tripltek and see if they will still honor the Captain Drone discount.
Very nice tablet unfortunately out of my price range do you know of one that's cheaper that will operate dji fly app
I'm not a fan of tablets because they are all terrible outside. This is the only one I like so far.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Ok.. I really enjoy all of your videos great job..!
olease is this tablet compatible with mavic pro platinium ?
Yes
Do you need to get cellular service in order to fly a drone
No cell service required.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I have the evo 2 8k so I could use the app without data and it will just connect
Can a DJI Smart Controller and tripltek work together?
Hmmm.... In which way?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 More real estate to view.
Really nice tablet no doubt. Now,how to convince my wife...🤔🤔🤔
She could borrow it in the evenings for Facebook and the like. :-)
Where can I order this bracket at Video Time 12.38 ?
Links are all below the video
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for your answer.
I got the DJi tablet holder from the Tripltek website, but it's not the same as in the video.
The attachment is different.
@@iceman9799 Yes, the one in my vid is from PGYTECH.
Excellent tablet report. Would you consider doing a comparison review of Tripltek Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Tab "Active-3" water-resistant 8” Rugged Tablet (SM-T577UZKDXAA).
No comparison, less than 500 nits against 1200 nits
I had to delete the nonsense posted earlier. Too much going on in my life. But I love your informative videos. So thanks.
Where could I get the drones you show on your channel?
There are hundreds of stores around the world so each time I show a product you must look in the video description below the video (click on the SHOW MORE) and there you will find everything you need to find the product.
DJI dropped the ball on their CrystalSky monitors from the getgo. They were way pricey , only supported third party apps with much difficulty, had very few FW updates, and no new models have been offered since release. I own both the 5.5" and the larger Ultrabrite one and have often wished that DJI would at least offer a little support , but no joy here as they won't even work with the new Mavic Air or the Mini drones. I had hoped that my purchase would be functional going forward with new drone generations and models , but hell no. CS beat the pants off of any iPad for brightness, even with a hood attached on the iPad , but I find myself preferring goggles these days and mostly don't use the CS monitors much if at all. This reviewed product is cheaper , runs apps, and has already been updated in a short span, but I wonder if it isn't too late in the drone saturation curve to have much of an impact what with new rules from the FAA and a stalled economy.
Have you ever experienced a vortex ring state on any of your flights when the drone just drops like a brick.
vortex ring?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ruclips.net/video/q3jhYhBn_NQ/видео.html
Nothing about screen resolution in the specs on Amazon. But that's okay, anything shipping with Android 8.1 (3 year old OS, Android 11 is current), isn't something I'll get in a lather about.
Then you'll be staying away from DJI products :-)
Ended up with an Autel Evo II Pro, and a Pixel 4a5G. For less money, a bright OLED phone that's also a 4K 60 optically stabilized camera, plays back my Autel 4K vids without so much as a hiccup
Thanks for the informative video. Is it worth the extra money to buy the 8gb vs 6gb just for flying my Evo 2 drone?
The PRO is much snappier
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks! BTW, love your videos.
Is there a screen record function? :)
Yes, you just install one of a hundred screen recorder apps.
i use AZ recorder on mine
I purchased it.. a little shocked I cant watch and edit videos greater then 1080p, it just cant handle it, a lot of lag... adleast I thought I could watch my videos made by drone... Is this normal? Or should the tablet squeeze the video to be watcable? I contacted them and they say it doesn't handle it cause it is 4k. But with my phones I never had any problem viewing any video made by mini2. And the dark theme only works in half... oh... and DJI fly app froze two times in one week while flying... I just think something is wrong with it, for such specifications I expected more... What do you think? Help, please...
Not normal if you have the pro model. Something is very wrong with your tablet or apps are conflicting.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, I have the pro model, I always make sure there is no background processes, check the cables...
And I don't have any other apps installed. Even reinstalled DJI fly app, but it froze again. And the camera picture has big lagging, and flashes while filming. Just unable to make smooth videos like that...
So you are saying I shold be able to watch 4k videos from mini 2 with it? Cause it is just not possible with mine... And the Tripltek support say that:
As I can see on the video, the tablet is working perfectly fine. The lag you see is because you are trying to play a 3.6 GB 4K video. The display does not support 4K resolution, as you can see on the tablet specifications.
The TRIPLTEK TEAM
@@jurijavsenak 4K streamed videos, but 4K videos from a card file, perhaps not due to the codec. You'd need an app with a codec that permits it.
