Another modified MavMount for the CS Ultra

[Ping^Spike]

Reversed the base. You can see the angle goes back now. It helps with clearing the sticks.

Cool idea mate! But will that still fit in the Mavic controller?

Or do you need to cut the overhanging piece off? (Which I'd be quite happy to do)

 

[AnzacJack]

Tried a few different setups and have finally settled with the following. I have plenty of room to access the sticks and it all feels ok in my hand. I generally use the titandrones tactical ground station, so this is only if i want to be a bit more mobile.

Cool! Looks like your DJI quick release is mounted just 5 or 10mm forward of mine

The issue arises when you want to swap the CS between controllers and you need to unscrew and swap the base plate on the CS. The only option is to get a dedicated CS for each controller but I'm not sure the wife will buy into that arguement

For me its the best one i tried. Much better than the so overpriced mavmount.

Just try it, 18 dollar is just a few beer...

Hi Peter , I think you misunderstand my situation, I am using the CS Ultra with my P4P, my mavic and my spark

The P4P controller has a different mount to what you bought which only works for the Mavic and Spark, I need something across all 3 controllers and at the moment only the official DJI CS Mounts are working, where I don't need to re-screw the the mounting bracket when I swap over

Got you. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

I can take absolutely zero credit for this idea, full props to @Paul7of8 for coming up with it

Modified my MavMount today to accept the DJI quick release bracket.

I bought the proper CS bracket for the mavmount but it was bit of a faff to set it all up. I tried the thumbscrews mod too, still wasn't ideal.

This quick-release arrangement now sees me setup in under sixty seconds and much like Paul, I don't have to keep adjusting the angle. Set it once, job done.

I'm probably past the point of no return here as rather than using cable ties (zip ties?) I've gone all out and mixed up some epoxy resin to keep the front end of the DJI bracket from swivelling about.

This also solves the problem of the lanyard clip damaging the USB-C plug on the bottom with the CS bracket. Oh, and the built in DJI cable in the bracket is the perfect length too.

Shout out to @Aerial West if you make a modified base plate to fit the Mavic remote and accept the DJI bracket mate you'll have a few sales here for sure
Good job - I will nominate you for Nobel Peace Prize for ingenuity for modifying Mavmounts!

This is what I did, It's not the cheapest solution, but the best looking IMHO, see photo and tutorial video below.

Just wanted to give you a heads up after reviewing your pictures I took it upon myself also to try this idea and this is how mine came out thanks for the tip[emoji482]

 

[Ping^Spike]

Nice one @Cpt.Barbossa1072 - I still fly with this modded mount to this day

Top tip, move your lanyard clip up to the higher point on the DJI mount, where the release lever is, helps the balance

ohhh wow, i didnt realize that, thanx..!see this is why i like using this forum, u get alot of good tips/ideas from cool drone fanatics in here, now all we need is for DJI to make a firmware/software update for correcting the current issues & have the CS up to sate with the smart controller...!
