Thanks Russ! Happy holidays to you and thanks for all of your content in 2020. You keep us both entertained and well informed! ❤️❤️❤️

Great review, Russ. One of these days my reviews will be as polished (hopefully) as yours. Had my Tripltek since 10/20/20. It was quite a bumpy road initially. Software issues. Than after a conference call with a Tripltek rep, and a 1.25GB firmware upgrade, all is well. And yes, I've learned to make sure I keep a small flat tip handy for those port covers. And thanks for the heads up on the tablet holder as well. I've been taking to cinching the strap around the neck of the existing tablet holders for added stability. BTW, I do fly DJI as well as Autel. Works great with both.

Thanks for the post, I've been thinking of getting an autel done later this year but wasn't sure if my tripltek would work well with it.

I purchased one doing the pandemic and it’s 👍. The battery 🔋 life is very long lasting. It’s a must buy on the market.

i have got so much information from your channel. I am new to droning and I just absolutely luv it

Great video thanks for sharing Russ.

Thanks for a very informative video.

I bought the pro model and absolutely love it! I can fly my drone without my reading glasses. The mount that you recommended works perfectly with this tablet!

Nice Russ. Merry Christmas

Thanks for the Advise!

Thanks for the video! Looks like a cool product!

Very Nice - saving the AUD814.26 to buy one. Thanks, Russ - Merry Merry & Good Health in 2021

Badass intro Russ!!!

Russ, you are just awesome dude. I love your vids, and I have the crystalsky and at times it is not bright enough. I will be trying this. Thank you.

Good review Russ

Russ, Great video. Based (pretty much) on your review, I ordered the TRIPTEK tablet and it is scheduled to arrive tomorrow (7 Jan 2021). I'm super excited to get it and fly my EVO2 and Holystone drones with it. Thanks again for the great review and keep up the good work.

How is the tablet performing for you?

Merry Christmas Russ!!!

Hi Russ, Great video on the Tripltek. I’ve had mine about a month and love it but have had problems finding a USB-C cable that works. The tablet comes with a small white adapter so I use it along with a USB-C and a mini USB cable. Tried several dedicated USB-C cables but they give me scrambled video feed while I’m using the Mavic Mini. Take care!

Hi I use the dji crystalSky and works for me very well.

Hi Russ, I have ac Acrotor mount also. It is excellent with an iPad mini 2 or a phone. It did not grip my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 well enough. I was in mid flight tapping the screen when the tablet fell out of the mount. I started running my neck strap through the bottom mount. This changes the angle of support and helps hold the tablet in place. Do use the included tools to lock the mount to support weight.

I had a problem with the thickness the tablet and bought the Lifthor Mjolnir tablet mount for my Mini1 and it is stable and well made. It is pricey but so is this tablet. I tried 2 others from Amazon but had to return them. I called Tripltek for their suggestion and this Lifthor made the most sense

I just watched Ken Herron talk about this tablet, and I only have one thing to say... Galaxy Tab S6 used off Ebay!!!! While this tablet is nice. I don't think it is worth the price. If it were 400 bucks, then I could see it being worth it. Also, most Cell companies run the Galaxy Tab S models on sales all the time, so you can likely get a brand new one pretty cheap, with 12 months of cell connectivity of course. I would definitely choose this tablet over anything Apple though! You couldn't pay me to own that brand!!! Great video Russ!!! Thanks for reviewing this tablet. I'm sure many will find the rugged case well worth the cost.

I already fly with a crystalsky monitor and for me it's the best for the job. I wouldn't want to use the tablet for anything other than flying my drone. That way it stays clean and free from any bugs from downloads. The triple tek is nice thou 👍

We appreciate you sir.

Great Video

Sunny Days in Phoenix is one of the biggest points of aggravation when flying a drove here. With 360 sunny days a year, it's a real issue. Thanks for the video.

Just send one my way I’ll put it through the paces for you lol 😆 nice video man

Always enjoy your content & presentation. Also watched the Pro model on other Post... I’m close to purchase; both impressive on 1200 Nit screen & durable case. Those are the 2 highlights, compared to other Newer Tablets like the Tab S7-plus... for a little more the S7+ has more in gained specs, performance, size, Android 11, etc. The 1200 Nit is nice, but it lacks everywhere else for the price. CrystalSky Bright (1000n) & UltraBright (2000n) are similar in both older hardware & specs... but a Bright Nit screen is a plus!!

I was looking for a good tablet for my car gauges... this video is a pleasant surprise

I've really been looking to get a tablet to fly my Mini 1 and other drones I get in the future. This is an awesome bit of tech so this is going on my wishlist

Speechless, just enjoyed the tablet being run off and still no scratched 😅. Anyway I like every video works and the outro video💖. It would be my happiest day If i got one🎁

Happy Holidays Russ. Great video. Any chance you might do a detailed review of your machine? Just bought a lake house in Michigan and was looking at the Honda Rubicon 520 until I saw your Northwoods edition and now considering the Northwoods Max edition for winter plowing in Michigan. Would love to hear more about your experience and what you use it for. Thanks.

Very cool. I was wondering if anyone would finally come up with some competition to the Crystal Sky ... iPads are just not well suited for the job because of the lack of brightness. I don’t even fly with my tablet anymore since my iPhone 12 is so dang bright. I’d rather see what is happening in the sun on a smaller screen than have a 10in screen to lug around that you can’t see anyway. Great vid, thank for sharing. Oh, on your 360 camera, what I’d really like to see is it on the Skydio 2 out by those tressels. That would be cool. If not the S2 then your Mavic will do. Especially with snow on the ground. I live in California and I miss the snow!

As always great information, the only thing I would like to add is that I agree with you about the mounts don't hold well, that is very easily resolved with a flat magnet mount (similar to the ones used in cars) glued to the mount. this works great with the built in mount on the tablet it self.

Not sure that this is available here in the UK, couldn’t find it on eBay, maybe Amazon will sell it. With our weather of late we don’t need bright screens, more useful would be waterproof as storm Bella hits us tonight! Didn’t have too much trouble with my iPad mini even in the scorching summer we had this year. Great video again Russ keep up the good work.

I have found this tablet to be excellent for its purpose, but additionally it is built like a tank. One concern voiced by others is the resolution, but once you start using the tablet the resolution becomes a non issue. Be aware though, that 90 degree connectors will not work because the connection port is recessed, however the tablet came with various adapters, which did work.

I would definitely consider this tablet and sell my Crystal Sky....but no HDMI out port. I have a ground monitor station that I hook into using the HDMI connection for people to look at while I am flying. I don't like clients looking over my shoulder while I'm flying.

Thanks for the great video Russ. Quick question. Can you connect the Tripltek tablet to the regular DJI goggles? I'd like to have them as a spectator view.

Nice. I can finally replace my iPad lol - EDIT: I just need a beefier mount for the Phantoms series controllers.

Good review! WRT OneX2, mount it on the Mini2.

Hey Russ, will that fit on a Phantom 4 controller?

Great review.. compare with your iPad, how is the response ?, speed is what I mean, many of the android tablets I used they feel slow, drag, not instant feel as the iPads, on the specs I don’t see microprocessor speed as an sample. How fats run the apps, and open. Etc... I hope I explain myself. Thanks keep the good work.

Are you still using it? and can you do an update on anything you've noticed over the past several months? Good bad etc...... Really wanting to get this, would just love to see what you've noticed over the past several months of using.

Russ What would you use for a mount on a mavic air 2 controller with the tripltek tablet? Thank you.

Russ is it fair to compare it to the Smart Controller for brightness and operation or is it comparing apples to oranges? Thanks

Hey Russ, thanks for the video! I know the TRIPLTEK is one of the best for drone pilots but I'm looking for something more in the 10in area. I have the ipad air 2 currently but it's getting out dated. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

So I did some pretty deep diving on these ruggedized tablets and they are widely available from suppliers in china. I'm not going to share exact links or list prices because what Tripltek has done is have them branded and import them likely in quantities of 500 or so. Hugerock was another company that was selling these under their own badge as well. My biggest concern is not that companies resell these to make a profit, everyone deserves to make something for such a process but what does concern me with these particular models is the age of the processors inside, they're about 4 years old and likely may not go too far past the android versions that come installed on them. I don't know if this would mean obsolescence any time soon for drone apps but as tech moves forward some android apps require newer versions of android to install and this could render such tablets outdated in a few years. On the plus side, these tablets seem well made, they actually have a battery that could be replaced and new models are always being made with updated processors and the same 1200 nit screen. I even found them in 8" and 10" browsing alibaba and chinese suppliers. I'm actually going to return the defective one I have through amazon and have since ordered the newer model which at least goes to Android v 9. Even though yes, one could potentially find these direct from china at a reduced cost I do believe support and people getting paid for introducing such products to the market does have value. It would also likely take 3 weeks to get them direct from the source. It will be really nice if Tripltek (which I'm guessing is a very small company) works with users of drones to eliminate any bugs or issues now and in the future and give us solutions for something that really isn't easily found.

Nice!!! 🤪👌

Thanks for the review. Is there not a the Samsung Tablet that will work as good or well as this one?

Hey Russ, do you think this would work with my Evo 1 and Evo2Pro? The crystal sky does

Thanks for the review Russ but I got an iPad 5 Mini Refirb a couple of months ago for less than 1/2 the price of this tablet. My screen is also 8". Looks very sturdy though. Much sturdier than the iPad.

Russ could you also do a test of the Acrotor mount with a Tripltek 7" tablet with a Mavic Pro orMavic Pro 2 controller? Thanks.

Hi Russ. I want to purchase that tablet but I'm a bit concerned because I'm not 100% sure it will be compatible with my Inspire 1. Do you know if it is or not?

Hi Russ, I know this is an old video so maybe that is why, but when I order this I do not get a %5 discount - unless it will show up after I hit place the order? but at checkout it does not show it. Can you confirm if it is still available? Thanks

How does the DJI app work in terms of Android vs IOS? Great videos BTW. Subscribed.

Great review. Ordered mine through your link...no discount at check out....no worries. Looking forward to a great monitor! Need a rugged one for field work and to fly.. (Update...I missed the check box for the discount on the product page. You must click it to get the discount at check-out)

Few points Russ -- There is no HDMI. Screen display is 720p. The best mount to use on the MS2 controller is from LifThor - Bar none .. This is the best. Solves the unbalanced issue - Placement of the tablet so as to not interfere with the sticks and solid rest on a table. Also has a lanyard ring - Highly recommended to take the stress off the hands as the whole assembly is a bit heavy. I've removed the screen protector which maximizes brightness. Also turn off Adaptive Brightness and use the manual brightness slider for maximum brightness outside. Also the tablet has been tested many times for brightness and achieves 1500 Nits -- Company is an overachiever !! Cheers .. ..

How does one install the flight app? Just download it from the Android store I guess. I guess can be used with all drones like phantom 4 pro for example. Thanks.

you forgot to mention that a crystalsky does not work wit a new dji fly app , this tablet does

You didn't mention that it only displays in 720p,, and it is an older version of Android. And it was what the military was using till they updated to something better, so this company is trying to repurpose this one. I've been using my iPad 11'' air for years and have no issues with it and I have the right amount of screen size and quality video 1080p, and it's not heavy. If they come out with a bigger one with updated android software and at least 1080p to 4k screen, then they would have a winner. Love your channel and videos Russ..
