[Cpt.Barbossa1072]

Hello drone fanatics... just a quick mod idea i did on getting a DJI Crystalsky-QR bracket onto a Mavmount3.0....took me about 1/2hr to do... l got all the hardwareparts for about $14 @ my local HomeDepot... DJI-QR$79, Mavmount3.0 $65, ur gonna need #212 screw eyes or look the size# that will fit the rear eye screw hole on bracket, 6M 1.0x16mm socket hex/cap bolt,16mm tension lock nut if needed)Blue-Locktite, 2/Tap&Drill bit set(as in pics)& 2 deadbolt/door frame brackets(as ur spacer)tongive u a lil'of height/sticks thung clearance,a few beers & a lil time.....! comes out super solid & wont budge a bit, once the rear bracket screw is drilled then taped theeaded with #32bit,screw in#212 eye screw with Locktite or drop of JBweld in threads, align/measure bracket screw hole with bolt, dont tighten in screw just yet...drill/tap #6mm just above 1/4-20 hole on mount, fit mavmount & QR onto controller fiting both bracket & mount flush to controller, make a dot-mark of hole and begin to drill...remove QR bracket, tap ur threads(take ur time)then place deadbolt door spacer/s onto mount while aligning both new holes & thread top 6M bolt 1st then align rear eye-screw to bracket tighten, down both from with Locktie/JBweld drop as u tighten from/rear til it fulsh & even... alow to
dry... mount on ur CS monitor & thats it..... use pics as details....View attachment 59423View attachment 59484View attachment 59485

I done exactly the same with my polar pro mount

Remember to remove the plastic from the usb cable, bit of a pain but looks much better

looks cools, only thing that kept me from doin that mod is that the PolarPro mount doesnt fit flush under the control as the Mavmount does, like a "LOCK"lip... which pushes the mount further in, the PolarPro has those"tabs"that need to be shaved for the mount to fit in flush....but one
thing i like about the PolarPro set up is the raised height curves on the mount,raising the monitor up a bit highter, for thumbstick clearance..,i had to add 2"metal spacer" brackets to do just that, but once bolted with the 6M hex bolt it wont even budge...View attachment 59454

Your right about the polar pro mount not fitting flush but that’s not a deal breaker. I’ve been using the mount since Christmas and not had any issues with it. All is needed is to remove the rubber paddle stays on the controller then it would fit just the same as your mount. Both rubber mounts are redundant, I never use them I keep my spare paddles in my case which is nice and secure.

I do like the polar pro raised mount this was one of the reasons I bought it, the mavmount was to expensive to ship to the UK

Like your setup but again remove the plastic that’s on the usb cable

do u have pics of how u managed to get the rear "eye-screw" in to secure down rear bracket down onto the aluminum frame?

 

[Porky]

No holes needed to be drilled, the mount comes in two parts, the main frame and the mount, the mount I never used, the hole in the main frame fitted exactly to the Dji mount It looked like it was designed to have the Dji mount fitted to it

 

[Porky]

Plus you get a nice little bag with the mount, fits nice with the new Dji mount

 

[Cpt.Barbossa1072]

cool i saw a post somewheres that a rear eye screw/bolt was threaded into the frame & bolted down to prevent the bracket from swiveling...! thought is was ur set up...

hey found it... heres a snap pic of the guys posting...

when I was looking at this idea, I was just going to drill and tap a hole in the back part of the DJI mount, and put a countersunk screw up through the baseplate into it. someone with a small hobby lathe and mill could manufracture a stud with a hole to engage the DJI mounting bolt, but you'd still need to drill a hole in the baseplate to locate it.

Didn’t need to do anything, the raised edge on the frame holds the mount securely in place, see photo plus the underside of the Dji mount has some sort of rubber backing which helps it too. Just one screw then your good to go.

Here’s the video where I got the idea from

I’ve just removed the rubber paddle stays on the controller, now the polar pro frame fits perfectly in the controller

I’ll post your request shortly, wife’s calling....

Wow that looks freaking awesome! can you send me a pic of the back of the mount on the controller & with your monitor mounted on it..... I managed to take off the "saran wrap" plastic on the usb-c cable.... looks ways better now...! thanx[emoji482][emoji106]

Yours is looking good definitely better with the plastic removed from the cable

As requested, remember my CS is the 5.5 model

I like that the Mavmount is made so the outside edges are parallel rather than angled like the PolarPro... fits the controller arms correctly...

Isn’t a problem for me, I was using an iPhone 6 with the same angle so it’s only what you get used to it’s nice and comfortable in the hands while flying

See what I like about your PolarPro Mount set up ,is that it is raised a little higher in the center,as for my mavmount had to use 2 door-deadbolt plates as spacers to raise my CS bracket up a lil bit, giving me much more thumb stick clearance...Then I aligned ,drilled/tapped & threaded in an eye-screw bolt to secure down the rear, making it super sturdy... & 6mm hex infront ,wont budge for nothing....! but i like your set up now that i know u can remove the rubber sticks holder to make it go in more flush ,locking into the bottom controller.... Kudos to you on that...!
