can the CS monitor be connected to a SC as a 2nd viewer...?

[Cpt.Barbossa1072]

was wondering is anyone out here had succesfully connected a crystalsky monitor to a smart controller as a 2nd monitor...i see that Lifthor has a bracket/2200 nite setup to use in conjuction woth a SC...? any thoughts...? [emoji112]

No, you can not do this - CS has no HDMI IN. (You have to ask DJI why a monitor has no HDMI signal IN)

There might be one workaround. Bind a second controller that has a CS mounted to it. Cost of 2nd controller = $200

If you upgraded from a "dumb" controller to an SC, you still have a controller laying around. Nothing like a freebie.

This will also allow an observer to fly, while still giving you positive command of the drone at a moments notice.

I have my crystal sky as the monitor on the regular controller and my smart controller both linked to the same Mavic 2 pro. Thus a second person can see what the camera on the bird sees without looking over my shoulder.

Doesn't the Smart Controller have a HDMI output? Perhaps you can connect it to a HDMI monitor.

One thing you can do that I've done is get an fhd monitor with an internal battery and an HDMI input and connect that to your HDMI output on the smart controller. Works pretty well if you can get around 1000 nit brightness.

A fair bit cheaper than a CS if you just want it as a monitor

Affordable, 2200nit 7-inch Monitor from CAME-TV/FeelWorld

The new CAME-TV/Feelworld MT-S704 High Brightness field monitor, which boasts 1900 x 1200 resolution in a 7-inch 8-bit IPS LCD panel with 2200 nits brightness making it sufficient (at least on paper) for field use without a sun hood.
