I think the RC has slightly more 'shallow' holes than the RC Pro. The thread and pitch are the same (M4), but using a 12mm screw I couldn't get it fully tighten down before it bottomed out. Using a 10mm screw cinched up just fine (using my bracket).

Thanks! :-) I like the simplicity of your eyelet screws a lot. I'd actually use them myself if I didn't have a fear of the screws loosening up. I guess threadlock or some lock-washers would solve that though. I'm just surprised that DJI hasn't made their own first-party accessory.

Torsional stresses on the bolts/d-rings, mostly. I used to have a neck strap for my camera that used a single loop point and a D-ring-style attachment point. Over time it would loosen, usually not enough to be catastrophic, but it made me concerned with thousands of dollars holding onto one...

Mostly to be certain the screws won't come loose. If the 'anchors' were attached directly to the screw holes they may come loose over time with torsional stresses. With a center section between the screw holes it makes sure the stresses are between the anchor points and not directly on the screw...

I've created a new bracket/adapter for the 'standard' DJI RC controller in much the same style that I have for DJI's other screen controllers. With the help of a friendly forum member @klaario , who kindly loaned me a controller for a week, I designed and 3D-printed a new bracket. The bracket is...

Well, you're in luck. Thanks to a friendly forum member @klaario I got one on loan and built a new bracket to fit the lower-cost RC. You can get one here on eBay for $10 plus shipping. It's made from the same stuff the other brackets are and built in much the same way, with only some...

The design has been finalized and the production-ready prints are coming out great. For those interested in purchasing you can get it here on eBay for $10 plus shipping. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Special thanks again to @klaario for loaning me the controller to design from. It'll be...

3D printing is much stronger than people expect. Of course it depends on the material being used; some plastics are stiff but brittle and others are tough because they're semi-flexible. I've made by brackets with both carbon-reinforced PETG and high-modulus carbon PLA. Both work amazingly well...

Happy to help! I'll have the Klaario's controller in hand later this week and can fab up a new design and make it available for those interested. Clearly not everybody is into the design I make/use and it's not for everybody. Taste is subjective and not everybody's use-case is going to be the...

Not right now, no. I don't have the DJI RC controller to model one from. I've considered buying one, but i don't think I'd sell enough brackets to offset the cost. However, if you trust me, and let me borrow your controller for a short while I can model one in a matter of a day or two and get...

I wholeheartedly respect your opinion, but I've load tested my hooks and they'll take far more weight than is reasonable. The actual attachment loop is all perimeter and no infill. The controller only weighs 1.5 pounds; any strap or lanyard needs to hold half that weight across each loop. It's...

Some of you may know that I've designed and create custom 3D-printed brackets that fit the DJI Smart Controller and the RC Pro that allows for a lanyard or strap to be mounted to the bottom. I have not yet designed one for the cheaper DJI RC (the gray one for the Mini 3) as I don't own that...

It looks like DJI is now selling the new RC as a stand-alone for $309. Would there be significant interest for a new bracket made for this controller? I'd consider buying it to create a new bracket if I think there may be decent return-on-investment.

Thanks for the purchase! I'm pretty confident that you'll like it. Feel free to post or message with any feedback you have!

I could totally do it, but I'm not excited about buying a controller/drone I don't need just to create a 3D model. I don't own a Mini 3 or the new RC. If somebody would loan me their controller for a few days, though... :rolleyes:
