Hi

I'm using the Polar Pro phone mount and I'm very happy with it. I like specially the fact that it is mounted above the Mavic RC with an angle of 45°. It's perfect for full visibility onto both screens (RC & Phone) and its mount angle is also helping a lot to reduce sun reflexion.

The only problem I had, was to get evertthing well balanced when using a lanyard.
After several tests, I came to this solution which is now perfectly balance the RC with my iPhone 8 Plus and a sunshine.


Shopping list :

  • 1x carbon tube of 4mm, length 160 mm
  • 2x cotter pins, with a diameter of +- 1,7/1,8mm
  • 2x seal plumbing ring with inside whole of 4mm
  • 1x dual lanyard
  • 1x super glue (used to glue de cotter pins inside de carbon tube, and to glue the plumbing rings
  • a drilling machine and a 4mm drill bit
optionally 2x small metal rings to put on the cotter pins, if the lanyard clips can not fit directly into the cotter pins

To allow easy packing in my Mavic case, the carbon tube can shift right, so I glued the left plumbing ring onto the Polar Pro Mount, and glued the right plumbing ring onto the carbon tube at a very precise position that helps to recenter quickly the tube. This right ring used a hard stop when it touch the Polar Pro mount
