Eliminating Pilot Cognitive Overload: Dual-Screen Workflows for the DJI Matrice 4 Thermal (Matrice 4T) and RC Plus 2

In public safety and emergency drone operations, information asymmetry is the enemy. When you are flying a high-stress aerial ISR mission over a wildfire or search area, every second counts. Yet, operators are frequently forced to toggle back and forth on a single display between their primary flight interface and critical third-party mapping applications like FireMapper by InFlight.

This screen-splitting introduces unnecessary cognitive overload at the worst possible moments. To bridge this gap, Essential Gear Depot has developed a rugged, field-tested 3D-Printed Secondary Phone Holder Kit specifically designed to turn your enterprise controller into a true dual-display ground control station.

Streamlining the Flagship Fleet: Enter the Matrice 4T

With the rollout of DJI’s next-generation Matrice 4 Thermal (Matrice 4T), pilots have access to unprecedented aerial intelligence tools. However, making full use of the M4T’s enhanced thermal overlays means you want that primary screen dedicated solely to the flight environment.

Our updated secondary mount kit natively supports both the classic DJI RC Plus (for the Matrice 30 series and Matrice 350 RTK) and the brand-new DJI RC Plus 2 included with the Matrice 4 series. By introducing a hard-mounted secondary screen, the pilot or an attached spotter can maintain an uninterrupted visual lock on the wireless data bridge, observe local weather radars, and seamlessly validate geospatial perimeters in real time—all without dropping the camera view.

Engineered by Operators, For Operators

Born out of operational necessity by an active Australian RFS firefighter and drone operator, this kit bypasses the flaws of generic, flimsy mobile mounts.

  • The Two-Part Hotshoe Advantage: We don't use weak clamps or sticky adhesives that ruin expensive agency hardware. The low-profile base adapter bolts cleanly into the factory-threaded accessory points on the back of the RC Plus chassis. When it’s time to fly, the included hotshoe-style phone bracket slides into position in seconds.

  • True Rapid Deployment: Emergency crews despise any accessory that complicates pack-up times. Our hotshoe base is engineered with an ultra-low profile, meaning it can stay permanently bolted to the remote. The controller still drops perfectly into its standard DJI molded hard case without needing modification.

  • Industrial-Grade Reliability: Every kit is printed in Australia using high-strength, UV-stabilised grey PETG plastic. It provides a rigid, vibration-resistant mount that keeps your wireless telemetry device locked tight, even in demanding field environments.

Equip Your Fleet

Whether you are an individual operator looking to optimise your field awareness or a fleet manager looking to standardise layouts across an entire emergency services branch, this secondary holder kit removes a major friction point from enterprise drone workflows.

We offer custom volume pricing tiers and discounts for enterprise fleet orders, government agencies, and active fire brigades.
