I pad mount for MA2

[Parrotoid]

In response to the previous post:

Yes, this was a great idea. I modified them a bit. I cut the overhang back a bit and sanded one side to fit under the retainer. It’s very secure and I like that I can leave my smart case on and also use the stock cable now. I had to send my Lukefee tablet holder back, it did not work well at all.

I got this one: Amazon.com: Full Aluminum-Alloy Foldable Tablet Stand Holder Tablet Ipad Mount Holder with Lanyard Support Crystal Sky Monitor Compatible for DJI Mavic Air / Mavic Pro/Mavic 2/Zoom/ Mini / Spark Remote Controller: Toys & Games -- works well with both my iPad Pro 9.7 & iPad 10.2. Comes with a lanyard, and can fold down kinda flat.

Now that’s a deal! One thing I found was the viewing angle with these types of holders is very good and the tablet doesn’t interfere with flying at all.

I've found these most practical as well, whole setup takes a few seconds while with these 'pro' ones takes forever plus you need another bag to carry them around

I’ll bet anything that the cheaper “bit of plastic” thing works a lot better than the $80 monstrosity. Keeps the tablet closer to the controller. That other thing (aside from being extra weight itself) extends the tablet too far up and out, and since this controller top-mounts the tablet, it’s a center of gravity issue and is probably laborious to hold the whole thing upright...

I think I'd avoid the velcro completely and use some krazy glue or epoxy and make it permanent. Thank you for the idea.

Tablet Holder for DJI Mavic Air 2 by Sven_Jakob

Simple holder for 8-inch tablets on the DJI Mavic Air 2 Remote. Support needed for printing. 22-May-2020: I have added a second improved version. Turn clockwise to clamp it between the two rods of the remote. 23-May-2020: I added a Sunshade for the iPad Mini that is compatible with Version 2 of...

There is also a version for 10.5 inch tablets. But I am not sure if it works since I am not able to test it.

What do you recommend for material with your designs? Nylon 12 SLS?

I have the Thor in route to me right now. With it being a bigger mount I wanted something for travel or when I needed to pack light but want to use a bigger screen than my phone. Found this one on Etsy for the iPad mini 5 and love it. Very solid, it's not going anywhere. It also has a built in lanyard hook.

It's very form-fitting for the iPad Mini 5, so much so I had to sand it just a little to work with my dbrand skin and anti-glare film screen protector. It came perfectly black (comes in other colors) but you can see where the sandpaper was rubbing as I sanded a little off the inside lip. Since the photos I used 1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper and it's back to black.

If you have a iPad mini 5 this is a nice mount. The seller also has an YouTube link on his Etsy page.

I thought about integrating the Lanyard mount and the iPad mount, but that would make it too easy to have the lanyard pull the iPad out of the mount, with my setup you can practically run with it and not worry about the lanyard pulling the tablet out of the mount.

I bought one of yours for my iPad Air 3.

The way this one is designed for the iPad mini 5 the lanyard is not pulling the iPad out of the mount or off the controller. I'd be willing to bet you could run with this one holding on to just the lanyard.

This is the v3.1 from ThingVerse

Can't wait to try my new holder out. I had to use a 2" #6 scre because M3 50mm are hard to find in America.
