Crystal sky and DJI fly app

[daramwhat]

Please does anyone here know how to install DJI fly app on DJI crystal sky. Am planning on buying the MA2 so I need to know if they are compatible..

Will most likely not work ... the FLY app requires a operating sys. & HW sys. that supports a 64bit architecture. The Crystalsky is rather old in this sense ... the last firmware updates were released in the end of 2019.

But if you want to try you can download the FLY app here --> DJI Fly - Download Center - DJI & sideload it & see if it even starts.

The Fly app will not run on the Crystalsky. If you want a bright screen that will run the Fly app, get the Tripltek or the Tripltek Pro tablet. It is a full Android tablet that will run any DJI app that is out there.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you sideload the app?

You download the Android Fly app installation file, which ends with .apk to your computer. Then transfer it to the CS via USB or in another convenient way. In the CS I recon there is some kind of file explorer... in that you find the .apk file & initiate a installation. All this is the same in all Android devices... phones, the DJI Smart controller or as here the DJI Crystal sky.

Is the "Eagle View Aerials tablets"advertised by a member of this forum a good lower priced alternative to the Tripletek?

I think it could be if you are talking about comparing to the Tripltek 7. But those guys have moved on, there is a Tripltek 8 and Tripltek 9 now.

Looking at their specs, the X and the V series are similar to the older Tripltek 7 with a 7 inch screen and 1000 nits and the V series is another 7 inch tablet but with 2600 nits. The specs on both are almost identical except for the screen brightness, so with the X series you'd be paying an extra $100 for en extra 1600 nits. I think either one would make a good tablet to use. If I were looking for another tablet I would probably try the V series with the 2600 nits. That ought to burn out your retinas in full daylight!!

From Tripltek in a earlier post...

Best tablet under $500 for flying a drone?

Try the Feelworld FW279 Monitor added to your Smart Controller. 2200 Nits, just over $200, Works great,can see well with on half power, but will go super bright when needed. You still use the SC for control, but you use the monitor to view the camera screen. Excellent Monitor! There are newer...
