DJI unveils new CrystalSky monitor

[2trickpony]

DJI has a very bright idea for its flashy new drone monitor

 

[Sprocky]

Looks awesome! Just wonder what the price tag will look like...

 

[Chris Miller]

Nice

The CrystalSky can connect with the Phantom, Mavic, Inspire and Matrice series via Wi-Fi

Huh?

Per DJI's website:

"The CrystalSky monitor can be quickly connected to Inspire 2, the Inspire 1 series, the Phantom 4 series, Phantom 3 Professional and Advanced, Matrice Series and Mavic using the remote controller USB port, as well as Phantom 3 4K and Phantom 3 Standard over Wi-Fi."

For accurate information on the CrystalSky display, check out DJI's website here.

Man as soon as I think "Okay, NOW I'm *set up*", [insert awesome tech manufacturer here] has to go and make something really cool that suddenly I feel like I MUST have.

I didn't see a price anywhere; I'm afraid to ask.

So not really released yet then? An no confirmed price point?

No.

How do you use the unit to play videos direct on your big screen TV, HDMI extension cord ?

Looks nice, but hoping that it would be a 10" screen. I will pass on that one but would still be very interested to see a working video of it. I have a 5.5" screen. Would 8" really make a big difference or would it barely be noticble?

So let's guess.....$399 and $599......I'll bet......although they have to look at iPad prices when they determine the price… I certainly hope it's lower

 

[Richard R]

wonder if it would also run other apps such as Litchi?

 

[glen e]

Of course it won't.....

 

[Richard R]

yeah, that would be my guess too

Indeed.... only 5.5"?... not for me, I will wait for 8" or 10". I use my 10" Tab S2 for my P4P and MP.... I also have a Nvidia K1 (8") and I can hardly stand to go back to that after using the 10"...

 

[Chesapeake]

Do you use a lanyard to hold up the controller and screen ?

Thats what I was thinking. Will eventually get a 10" tablet [emoji6]

The p4p+ controller with monitor pre-order price is $599 US so the monitor must be around $200 and it is a slimmed down version of CrystalSky. I suspect they will start around $400-500. Depending on weight, I would want the larger one.

Reports here and on the DJI site are that some are having video trouble with the P4 Pro+ screen. Having a brighter screen in sunlight would be nice, but if the CrystalSky is running on the same OS (Android?) as the P4 Pro + is, it needs to be addressed before I'd buy one for the desert sun.
