The Touptek StellaVita is coming in strong, as a viable competitor to the ASIAIR, as it truly attempts to be as easy and as powerful as its red rival! However make absolutely sure to check Luke's video below to see a *completely* different reaction to it!
Some corrections from the video:
- The USB C port is apparently internal and cannot be used to transfer files! Use Wifi, or SD Card!
- PlayerOne camera drivers are working
