Tripltek 8 Inch Pro - For Navigation as well as DJI Air 2S

I recently purchased the Tripltek 8 Inch Pro for use not only with my drone but also as a navigation unit.
In this video I take it out for a test in both use cases. I have some additional work to do regarding attaching it to the bike; but the mount for the Mavic controller from:

works great!

    Quick note on the Air 2S screen recording from the Tablet - I definitely wasn't seeing the skipping or lag that showed up here, and it's not in the original source file. So, it must be some issue with my frame rate in Davinci vs. the frame rate of the original recording (Davinci is set to 29.97 - the screen capture might be 30fps exactly and causing some glitch).

    I don't think you'll be disappointed especially if buying for the constant brightness. I had a chance to test out in Joshua Tree this past weekend. It wasn't extremely hot - but it was warm enough where my phone screen dimmed and this one did not. So, in the middle of the National Park I was using it solely for navigating.

    I was just watching another video of a 8"pro user that had a similar mount using the 4 screws on the back of the tablet. His ended having the screws rupture the battery because they were too long. Just an FYI so be careful.

    Absolutely - that will be my challenge. The setup I used here just gets in the way of the bike dash too much. But, I think with a couple maybe metal bars with some holes drilled for the 1/4 20s I can rig a system to raise it up a bit. I think I'll also eventually get one of the low-cost carrier's SIM cards to have cellular on it so I don't have to rely on always tethering to my phone. GPS apps like Waze work regardless, but there is some info missing due to not having a cell data connection.

    I am a bit "miffed" at DJI. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2. RAM has a powered mount that is secure and attached it to my Lynx fairing (on a tilt-able mount so I can see the tablet sitting or standing on my 690 Enduro). While DJI claims specific specs for tablets that the controller supports (specs which the Tab Active 2 meets) the Tab Active 2 is NOT supported by DJI. Sigh. Still a great Nav tool and allows me to keep my phone on my vs. on the bike BUT, as you said, this would have been the better combination purchase. I guess you can make it into a phablet, too. Nice to see a "real" person do a user review. Thanks!

    I'm not familiar with that tablet - but is it Android? Reason I ask is that the Tripltek you cannot download the DJI app directly either. You have to go to a page and download the app, not via the Play store. I'm wondering if there's a same process for your tablet.

    Tripletek 8 pro don't work correctly with the Air 2s. The Videos will not be stored on the Tablet. It's verry annoying. If you want to see them on the Tablet you must download them from the drone. This costs a lot of batterie. I do not understand this issue because Tripltek says it only happens with the Air 2s. If you watch the Video in 4k30 it will also studder all the time.

    Yeah - quite honestly, for the same amount of just the smart controller, I got an awesome screen plus an OS that can run anything compatible (not to mention a ton of other things a normal tablet can do) - but most importantly, an awesome navigation system. Since I ride my Triumph every day and fly a drone maybe twice a month, I think I made the right decision.
