    Looking for a bracket that supports using tablet!

    Have to add my comments about how solid and what a quality piece the Mavmount is. Used the strap from the Dji Mavic carry bag to attach to my controller. See photo how I attached. Works great for me to have the whole controller/Mavmount/iPad mini 4 suspended. Sure helps freeing up both...
