In the world of professional UAV operations, your equipment is only as good as the data it provides. Whether you are flying one of our commercial Drone LED Banners for aerial advertising or operating a custom long-range fixed-wing platform, situational awareness is critical. You need to know your battery voltage, altitude, and heading instantly, without fumbling through complex menus.

For years, the options for mobile field telemetry have been limited. You either carried a bulky laptop running Mission Planner, or you settled for generic, slow-to-load mobile apps. We realized that the ArduPilot community deserved better. That's why the same engineering team behind Drone LED Banners is proud to launch our latest software project: MAVLink HUD.

A Professional Glass Cockpit for Android

MAVLink HUD is a high-performance, native Android ground station application designed to turn your phone or tablet into a professional flight instrument. Unlike other GCS apps that rely on heavy cross-platform frameworks, MAVLink HUD is built "close to the metal." This delivers a silky smooth 60fps rendering experience that feels like a dedicated hardware cockpit, with significantly lower battery drain than the competition.

The Perfect ELRS Companion

The rise of ExpressLRS (ELRS) has revolutionized radio control links, providing incredible range and low latency. MAVLink HUD is built to be the ultimate ELRS companion app. It connects directly to your ELRS transmitter's Wi-Fi backpack, subscribing to the MAVLink telemetry stream wirelessly. This means you can leave the USB cables at home and enjoy a clean, wire-free ground station setup that just works.

Mission-Critical Features for the Field

We designed MAVLink HUD to solve the real-world problems we face when deploying our own drone fleets:

  • True Offline Capability: We integrated a massive 3GB offline world map. Once downloaded, you have detailed terrain and navigation data available anywhere on Earth—perfect for remote launch sites where cell service is non-existent.
  • Focused User Interface: The UI is strictly designed for flight. Critical data like battery monitoring (with non-linear LiPo discharge curves) and artificial horizon are front and center, ensuring you never miss a beat.
  • ArduPilot & PX4 Support: Whether you run ArduCopter, ArduPlane, or PX4, MAVLink HUD speaks the native language of your flight controller.

From the Creators of Drone LED Banners

We see software and hardware as two sides of the same coin. Just as we engineer our LED Banners to be rugged, visible, and effective, we engineered MAVLink HUD to be the most reliable tool in your digital toolbox. It is the exact software we wanted for our own operations, and now we are sharing it with you.
