Did the recent batch of Mavic Controller change?

Here's my controller fully opened and not touching sport switch/button:

And with Ipad mini 2:

And with ipad air 2...just for the heck of it:

Ipad Mini 2
Dimensions: 200 x 134.7 x 7.5 mm

Ipad Mini 4
Dimensions: 203.2 x 134.8 x 6.1 mm

3.2 mm's seems to be a problem with the new controllers

No matter what I do with the controller arm, I can't get it to touch the sport switch. So even if I had the mini 4, it wouldn't touch the sport switch.

To the OP: I noticed and also posted about this design change on the controller and so it seems that there has been a slight design change. Received my Flymore combo from Newegg on 11/21. I agree that it seems like this change was made to eliminate the chances of accidentally switching to Sport mode. It also prevents the use of iPad mini without some modifications on the user end.

I ordered my flymore from newegg the 5th of January and received it on the 19th , it fits and holds a iPad mini fine ....

I have an iPod 3 mini and it's close. Saw a YouTube video where they used a Dremel to cut off some plastic. Should do the trick for you.


Adventure is just bad planning
