Will the Crystal Sky have the same functionality as using a mobile phone? What are the downsides of using only the Crystal Sky as opposed to phone?
I own the Crystal Sky 7.85' version. The downsize I have found is the portability. Along with carrying the Crystal Sky I have it attached to the PolarPro mount all the time. I keep it mounted because the mount cannot be fasten quickly. This makes the Crystal Sky with mount another chuck of equipment to lug around. The PolarPro mount is fasten with two screws to the Crystal Sky as opposed to a slip on or snap on type of mount. I also find the touchscreen could work better. It sometimes it does not have the sensitivity on the touch screen as my iPad ; but it functions ok.
The upsides , I think outweigh the two points I have just listed. Trying to fly your drone using your phone on a sunny day is difficult. With your Crystal Sky , this issues is non existent. This is the biggest positive. The screen size vs using a phone is another big positive. An issue of using your phone is that it is very irritating getting a call while flying. The other option , of turning of telephone function while flying is one that may not be viable to some people.
The Crystal Sky also have many functions that are very useful. I'm very happy with it.
Another option to consider are the Epson Moverio BT-300 glasses. The Moverio will connect directly to your drone radio controller and the glasses will project a giant screen from within the glasses. Look it up... it kind of cool.
Thank you for this! I bought the 7.85 version and love it. Curious, why do you need internet connectivity with hotspot? Do you want this while flying?
mainly because of mapping of the area you are flying in. Secondly for updating the safety areas database.Thank you for this! I bought the 7.85 version and love it. Curious, why do you need internet connectivity with hotspot? Do you want this while flying?
