Tripltek 9 Pro Drone Tablet - It's Almost TOO Bright!

[@son278son5]

Two Christmases ago my wife surprised with the Tripltek 8 Pro. I love it and t's only 100 nit dimmer than the 9 pro . Still bright AF. I use it for my Air2S and my Autel Evo Lite +. I use it to watch movies, surf the internet and I have even used it as a phone when on Vacation. Great tablet and customer service is great too.

[@marctrainor5595]

Yea, this 9 pro is pretty tempting, but I still have the Tripltek 8, which still works great. I just don't want to spend the extra money right now, but I love the improvements, especially the HDMI output and the extra nits. Thanks for another great review. Marc T.

[@HighlanderMikeGolf]

First of you got me with the whole little entrepreneur kid story😂😂😂 I fell for it…hook, line and sinker. I bought the Tripltek 8 based of your recommendation and love it. You have a lot of valid points and valid arguments for the Tripltek vs a controller with a built in screen. I also threw in a micro sd card in to my Tripltek for mor storage. I think I may have to support Kenny and his little channel and growing business.😂😂 I’m still laughing. That was awesome, Russ!

[@moonmullin9820]

Another great review Russ! I have been on the fence about the 9 Pro over the new RC Pros in both the Air 3 and the Mavic 3 Pro. I'm currently using the 8 Pro (that u sold me on 2 years ago) with my Mavic 3 and I love it! I'm 61 years old and the big bright 8 pro is awesome! I have a really nice Lanyard from DJI with thick neck padding making it very comfortable. So, if I do upgrade to the Mavic 3 pro after your review I will go with the 9 Pro as well. Just started flying 2.5 years ago and currently fly for a Marketing Company and my own gigs. I'm Moon Mullin on You Tube and just started posting some videos. Editing is still tough but learning all the time! Thanks again Russ I Love what you do for us on the TUBE!!!

[@klrskir]

I've had the 7 and now 8 Pro. I've been on the fence, and I blame you for knocking me off. Ordered the 9 just now. I gave my wife the 7, and now she'll get the 8. All really great products with great customer support. Thanks Russ!

[@51Drones]

The Tripltek sells out at Amazon quickly, so don't wait too long: amzn.to/3qyRDBV

[@jorgenudvang3507]

I've been using the Tripltek 8 for 18 months now, partly due to the recommendation on this channel. It's a life saver. I fly drones in a tropical location (33-36 degrees C), and any other LCD turns dark, overheats etc. within minutes. Highly recommended!

[@hagemann1]

Great product introduction video. Another advantage of using a tablet as compared to a controller with display is the larger screen size. That helps a lot when filming (for selecting the right view and reading the drone related data at the same time).

[@RonaldBrown59]

The specs are great on that tablet, plus that bright screen. It’s very impressive, thanks for sharing Russ.

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

Great video. I placed my new Samsung tab s9 ultra on a foldable table and used it with the RC-N1. Wow, what an amazing experience using such a big tablet during a flight. But you have to take a foldable chair to the drone location as well. 12:40

[@MainsOnPointMedia]

Nice tablet, but I'm sticking with my RC Pro even though I'm limited from future iterations of DJI drones... the smoother controls, convenience, and comfortability did it for me

[@princesfpvdrones]

You the man! I have had my Tripltek 9 Pro since it first was up for preorder, so that must have been a year and I have been VERY impressed with it, then I sold my Triplteck 8 to my brother..lol..

[@sudburydrone466]

👍👍✌️ I picked up the 8 pro a year ago. Love it Well worth watching

[@OriginaldoBo]

Kid 😂 this freaking guy..

[@51Drones]

That took me about 5 minutes to cut with a straight face. 😁

[@heytazhussain]

Yep, gonna pass. A thousand dollars for an android tablet. Don’t care if it’s brighter than the sun.

[@oz10music]

I feel you there but there’s a lot more to it than that. The durability is crazy

[@omega42587]

​@oz10music still wouldn't pay 1k. Every android tablet I can think of has really underwhelming performance/specs. Any current phone I've had has better specs than probably every android tablet at the time....and I'm an android guy, don't care for apple but their tablets aren't as bad

[@theDudleys]

Well, I was on the fence on upgrading from the 8pro, but you just pushed me over the edge😃. I had the attachement from the little dude as well and it has been perfect on the DJI and Autel controllers. Mine has it's own phone line so I never have issues. Great vid!

[@born2bwildne744]

You promised - and you delivered !!!

[@Zpyk17]

Watched the tripletek 8 pro video yesterday and this comes out the day after, perfect!

[@Crushemedia]

All good points sir. I bought this when testing the Skydio last spring. It is a fantastic tablet and is currently my work phone as well as my onsite monitor with the raven eye for the drone feed and filming. Since I am currently using the Mavic 3 Pro and the RC pro controller it is not necessary for flying at this point, but having the convenience of the option over the iPhone is fantastic. Good job sir. Have a great day. BTW, I actually passed my 107 when I was in your town a few years ago and flew the Scandanavian park that you showcase all the time. Sorry, I missed you. Great channel. Keep it up.

[@51Drones]

Awesome!

[@BMacksAerialVisuals]

Congrats on reaching 250k subs, Russ. I've had the Tripletek 9 Pro since April. I was using the original Trilptek 7 since it came out 2 1/2 years ago. In the heat here in Houston the 7 was starting to act like my iPad 9.7...it would just shut down intermittently. I fly DJI as well as Autel so the consideration of the expense of the RC Pro vs. the Tripltek 9 Pro was a no-brainer. Many of the people I fly with are using the RC Pro or 2 that came with their DJI drone. Main complaint is not being able to download content and share it to social media using the DJI controllers. Also, the level of brightness on the DJI controllers doesn't come close to the Tripltek. My one complaint, and it has more to do with Autel, is that ANY tablet needs a specialized mount to use the Autel RC comfortably.

[@audit-supporter5728]

Splashed out and bought the Triplex 9 when it first became available. The larger brighter images are great for my failing eyesight.

[@tonybucca5667]

DANG...I didn't pay that much for my Mini 3 Pro! I have to go out picking up deposit bottles and cans now!

[@keen1957]

Russ glad to see your still the top drone/tech guy.( my opinion) 😎

[@perlitacastro589]

Hi, great videos! Question for AIR 3 the RC 2 and RC N2 has the same range?

[@iSpike]

Awesome Russ ;-) Phew your costing me a fortune... this tablest is $1,649.00 AUD

[@51Drones]

Uffda!

[@moonmullin9820]

Thats to bad 989.00 on Amazon

[@Anonymous99997]

I love my Smart Controller, but it was only good for my Air 2 and then my Air 2s. Now with my Air 3, I have the RC2 and I really notice the reduction in brightness from 1000 nits to 700.

[@deeper4cheaper128]

I’ve watched a few of you vidya’s pre subscribing, a week-ish ago a Magpul and now Leupold… subscribed.

[@scottmanthey3549]

We have 12 drones and one of our pilots uses the trippletec. Few issues over the RC pro. Fewer buttons, I use the 5 way switch on the RC pro constantly. Weight/size it's gets heavy and takes up a bunch of space in my kit. lastly, those colors look crazy over saturated which I realize is not impacting the final result but as a professional, I'm not sure I would trust it to set exposure and white balance.

[@WebVid]

I thought I was future-proofing my operations by getting the RC Pro a little over a year ago. Unless it’s software-upgradeable to OC4, I’m going to be feeling some serious buyer’s remorse.

[@battery_wattage]

Such a bummer but my RC Pro has handled 100f+ weather flawlessly. It handled better than I do. Worth it for my small side hustle.

[@ronarmour8909]

Good video. I can't find any mounts for the RC Pro. Don't want to give up all the shortcuts it offers. Guess I have to wait for the RC Plus to work with the Mavic 3T Enterprise drone.

[@mckenziefotoworks]

Great review Russ.

[@KartsHuseonica]

Very interesting. Thanks for putting this video up 👍👌

[@dondupuis4007]

Hoping you do a weighing comparison between the two. Or you might have videos not over yet, in re all like the brightness and think it might be worth it.

[@malcolmbennett3555]

hi Russ...........given your comments and my usage I believe the Tripltek 9 might be too high end for my needs with my Mavic Pro. Given this what other tablet would you recommend? Gr8 vid btw!

[@mannythehunter]

Been following Tripltek since the 7 came out. If you can't afford the 9pro I would recommend one of the older models. The 7 and 8 doesn't have everything the 9 has but man they can still get the job done (in the daylight) and they are cheaper.

[@51Drones]

Yep. The 8 is still a very good tablet

[@WorkingIdeas]

This product looks awesome, and i want this.. unfortunately, beyond my budget 😊😊. Anyhow, thanks for sharing amazing stuff ..

[@keithramey4723]

Seems like a really cool tablet if you are already a drone aficionado, but not what I'm looking for for my first drone purchase. It looks like the bulk of the comments come from people with multiple drones already. So what do you recommend for someone looking at the Air 3 for their first drone? RC2 or RC-N2 with a cheaper tablet? For reference, I'm also studying to take the Part 107 test thinking that I may use this as a part-time retirement gig.

[@eddale5557]

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 tablet is even better in my wiev! I use it and it is perfect! It also have a pen you can use on it! It have a "8" screen! Also it only cost about 520 dollar!

[@Drone-Pilot]

I have the RC Pro and I have the tripltek 8 pro and I use it when flying repeatable flights using Dronelink I just wish it was less in weight then I would use it all the time, it’s just soooo heavy, after flying for 30 mins you want to throw it off the building, without a lanyard to hold it up by your neck you have no hope of flying well with the weight of the damn thing, on the bright side yeah it’s fantastic and battery life is way more than you could use in a full day of flying honestly half the battery would have been fine and would make it so much lighter too, I don’t regret buying the tripltek but I don’t recommend it to anyone either as Dronelink works on the RC Pro so I recommend it as there are NO CABLES needed etc

[@dkloorozco9559]

Is the Tripletek 9 pro dual Bluetooth capable? An example is in their Motorcycle use case where you'd connect your phone and helmet communication device (i.e., Cardo PackTalk or Sena 50C/S) or headphones/earbuds?

[@YOKokob]

Doesn’t matter at the end of the day you still need an DJI controller might as well have one with the screen

[@VincentMartinFree]

Wow! That's awesome 👌

[@derekholland2818]

Hey. Great video. U are the reason i bought the tripltek 8 when it came out after watching ur review. My only complaint is when using the 8 as a regular tablet for watching videos the speakers on it are horrible. Wondering if they made improvements on the 9? Thanks!

[@51Drones]

They are improved, but not significantly

[@robbquinnimaging4321]

Russ, do you find any difference in range with the tripletek rc and the smart rc2? I have a tt8 and I love it but it is a pain as it doesnt store well in my kit box. I cant afford to upgrade to the 9 so I will settle for the 8 for a while but I am looking to get an air 3 and wondering which remote to get.

[@donb4138]

Samsung 9 is awesome and waterproof

[@TomSpurlock]

Thanks for sharing this Russ. Is the HDMI port input only, or will it output for goggle use?

[@AerialImg]

The HDMI is output, so it works with hdmi googles

[@rwteddy]

I just got the TT 9. Wow, what a beast. 2 big questions, can i get a longer cable? Why is does the cable have a white end, which goes to the RC? I assume then that a standard usbC to C cable will not work

[@AerialImg]

Any USBc to USBc cable will work. The cable with the white end is an good standard OTA cable

[@captainshaq]

Great video, thanks! Question: I followed your advice and purchased the TT8 last year - which I've been using consistently on all my drones. As someone who used both the 8 & 9pro - can you point to any real benefit in upgrading - considering I'm only using this as a controller viewing device and a few drone-related apps? Thanks!

[@DukeAyers]

I have enjoyed your videos regarding multiple subjects; all covered well. But I have run into a problem recently which I cannot find the answer in any of your videos. I have been unable to fly a simple waypoint video scene (i.e. no hyperlapse). I don’t have a controller that will load litchi, so I use the RC-N1/TripleTek 8 and Air 2s; my only other controllers are: RC-remote, RC motion controller with goggles 2. Using this configuration, I keep getting the litchi error: “Mission Interrupted: Flight mode was changed.” Are you able to address this issue in a future video?

[@waynegreene6405]

Another one of your bloody beaut videos Russ, well done mate. I am running a Tripletek 8 Pro to fly my Mavic Air and Air 2 S. Do you reckon that the 9 would be much brighter than the 8 mate? Or just stick with what I use. Regards from Sydney Australia.

[@Drone-Pilot]

Oh you have contact with tripltek please ask how we can do a compass calibration on the tripltek 8 pro

[@scal264204]

Can the tablet extender be used on the DJI RC? The gray RC with the screen

[@emmanuelfrancis]

Can I use this tablet with any drone? But more importantly, can I use the HDMI port to output the video from the drone to let's say a video switcher for Live streaming? That would be great. Thanks

[@AerialImg]

Yes, I am doing that with my T9 and the Raveneye

[@basspig]

The DJI tablet that I bought in 2018 has 2000 Nets of brightness. The only problem with it is that it frequently crashes and it runs very hot.

[@mrjdphoneboy]

How do you get the HDMI to USBc input to work? It says that it is capable, but doesn’t elaborate in the manual…

[@jedeozz]

Trying to get to the web page to purchase the minimal mount and going no where with a security warning????

[@L2SB-BrianMichelle]

Can you show this used with a Mavic 2 pro type remote? Trying to get my head around how that could work. Thank you!

[@51Drones]

You would need a mount. They have them on the Tripltek site.

[@Mantao1640]

Hi, is it possible to share my RC2 with a normal tablet?

[@rayfletcher8847]

Can i use the 9 pro for my mini2 drone?

[@dondupuis4007]

How heavy does it feel on you 2 and or 3rd pack

[@ronvaz2008]

Thank you for the review. This is a remarkable tablet, and the advantages over other tablets, are really what caught my attention. Is there a reason why they decided to use 4G LTE as opposed to 5G? Also, the Wi-Fi capabilities mentioned on their website are not clear. So, it's dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) but is it Wi-Fi 6? I doubt that this is Wi-Fi 6e-capable but that would have been just too good. Also, Bluetooth what? 5.x? BLE? Does it support all carriers? Please ask your contact. Much appreciated. Honestly, I'm late to your party. I only chanced upon a couple of your vids, and already, it's been worth the time. Thanks very much.

[@51Drones]

I’ll see if I can get that info

[@butterfly_free]

hello ?can i connect an ipad to "dji RC 2" by usb cabe or an hdmi convertor can i connect two remote to "mavic air 3" - dji rc 2 and dji rc-n2? thanks for you clips and help

[@alwaystravelling100]

Great video. If it runs well in hot climates that would be a major extra win! Does anyone know if one (or would i need 2) screenless controller can be used with this for both the M300 and Mini 3 Pro?

[@tripltek]

The Matrice 300 needs the enterprise controller , you can connect the T9 to the USB on the Cedence controller and you can control the M300 with T9. For the Mini 3 you will need the RC-N1

[@RW12345]

Interested in the HDMI output. Will it drive the Skyzone SKY04X goggles? While HDMI port is being used, does it kill the display on the tablet? Would like to be able to flip between goggles and tablet while flying my Air 3. Thanks Russ.

[@AerialImg]

The HDMIO works with the SKY04X and at the same time you can see the display

[@stevekolstad4445]

Hi Russ I have a triplteck 8 that i am trying to sell. No takers so far at $500. Screen is bright but it is just to heavy. Switched RC display. Used mavic 3s are just not selling on facebook marketplace. I bought an Air 3 so i could sell my mavic 3. Air 3 is better for traveling and a bit quieter. Guess i was not the only one. KZbin guys just love the Air 3. DJI mavic 3 pro with the RC at $2199 is a killer for those of us who bought original mavic 3 then paided $309 to the Rc. :( So now the question is to fly mini 3 pro or Air 3.

[@riskybusiness5]

The Triplek is heavy and will hurt your wrists if you mount it like a phone. You need to invest in a Mavmount system that allows to position it above the controller where it is better balanced.

[@silbay]

or they need a mount like the Crystal Sky used for the Mavic, where you held the tablet and the controller above it where you could still reach the sticks. Worked like a dream and the balance was outstanding

[@RevMikeBlack]

Excellent video! It looks like a great tablet, but I don't think I want that much weight and bulk hanging around my neck all day. I do most of my droning in the hot, bright Myrtle Beach SC sun. If it's really bright, I attach my StartRC hood to my Mini 3 Pro RC controller and the problem is solved. As for communications, I just use the hotspot on my Pixel 6 phone. If the controller needs more power, I connect to a phone charger battery in my pocket. Finally, with the bulky RC2/tablet combo, tourists could see me from far away, which I don't want because they all want to talk with me about the drone. I'm not trying to make new friends... I just want to fly over the Atlantic Ocean in peace.

[@moonmullin9820]

It is bulky and heavy! The screen is my savoir for the work I'm doing! I do not use the phone on it at all so I don't have to worry about that distraction either!
