    Crystalsky 7.85" Hi brightness review

    Bought mine online mate. Actually bought from a store at first, but the USBC bracket was duff, so I sent it back and replaced it via a different company online. London Camera Exchange I think it was

    Crystalsky 7.85" Hi brightness review

    The "Hi-brightness" models from what I can tell work well according to most people I have seen/ talked to. The "ultra-bright" appears to be the one with the issues. Someone I know lost half the screen's brightness while the other half remained bright, which was odd. Others seem to have either...

    Crystalsky 7.85" Hi brightness review

    Not one single crash or disconnect from the aircraft DOC 1500, no. Given the tablet and phone experiences I've had previously , it is my new favourite accessory, especially as the external batteries last an entire day at full brightness levels. The Hi bright is more than sufficient , you'll...

    Crystalsky 7.85" Hi brightness review

    I've heard of and seen unreliability of the Ultra bright 2000 nits version that really put me off buying one, especially given the near $1000 price tag (£900+ in the UK). After some phone calls around to a number of drone repair specialists and DJI drone user groups, I got the impression that...

    Is the Crystalsky worth it?

    The reason why people get crashes and disconnects with 3rd party tablets and phones is due to competing resources on those devices and constant Android updates which upset both the Lightbridge 2 transmission system and Go 4 app. GO 4 is VERY resource hungry and very fickle in operation...

    Then yes, you just need a Crystal Sky bracket to replace the phone/ tablet holder with

    Crystalsky 7.85" Hi brightness review

    I strongly recommend this device. The USBC bracket connection hugely reduces video latency (as you get on 3rd party phones and tablets ), the Android OS is "protected" from auto / external updates that can end up upsetting the smooth running of your transmission or Go 4 App, the screen is...

    CrystalSky Ultra Bright flickering

    I am not nearly as forgiving frankly. When I buy a product costing nearly £1000 I expect a certain quality, not this level of quality control DJI still do not appear to have gotten over. If you receive a faulty £1000 product, you should jump down DJI's throats for it to hit home their...

    CrystalSky Ultra Bright flickering

    I read in many places that the Ultra version had issues, so I did not buy one, not to mention the £250 premium over the high brightness version. After a lot on consultation and advice and user experience reports of the Hi brightness version, I personally opted for that one, saved a lot of...

    CrystalSky Monitor question

    Yes there is... Goes on the P4 and p4 Pro, but don't know what a "Phantom Standard" is (?)

    Is the Crystalsky worth it?

    No you cannot use 3rd party apps. But that is not necessarily a bad thing: Android 5.1 is solidly ringfenced on the CrystalSky and updates are controlled by DJI to essentially protect against updates that could upset the transmission system or the very resource hungry GO app. The display is...

    Comment by 'Nowelly' in media 'Thomas a Becket Church, Fairfield, New Romney'

    Absolutely no idea... I assume the type of roofing tiles used but I am not a church building expert

    Getting cold feet about my upcoming purchase.

    If you are an enthusiastic photographer or videographer, you will love a P4P, and fortunately for you, you come in at a time when a lot of software / firmware updates and fixes have been introduced. Tablets wise, go for either a recent iPad Air or an Nvidia Shield K1. I have one of the latter...
