I like to keep my phone in a case but was disappointed that I couldn't fit it in the RC for my Mavic Mini with the case on. For anyone who may be interested, I've found a simple solution which works perfectly.
I bought a phone tripod mount from Amazon (Phone Tripod Mount with Wireless Remote Control 360°Rotation Smartphone Holder Stand Compatible with iPhone 11 Pro Xs XR Max X 8 7 6 6s Plus Samsung Nexus Cell Phone for Selfie Stick Tripod Monopod: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics - £7.95 in the UK) and adapted it to use with the RC. First I unscrewed the adjustable phone holder from the main tripod mount and detached the large knob (held in by a circlip)
Next I cut a thin piece of plywood to a rectangular shape sized for the RC mount and padded the edges out to make it a firm fit (I wrapped the edges with some aluminium tape to make it easier to fit and remove). I drilled a hole in the wooden plate and screwed the adjustable mount to it using the original knob and a couple of spring washers to prevent it turning or coming loose. I drilled a couple of extra holes in the wooden plate to fit a neck strap later.
Fitting my phone is simply a matter of dropping it into the adjustable mount and tightening the small knob at the bottom to hold it securely in place. I can leave the wooden plate in the RC and just fit and remove the phone as required. The other advantage is that it's a simple matter to adjust it for any phone that I may change to in the future - it opens to a maximum of 10cm. As a bonus, it came with a small Bluetooth camera button to use with the phone.
