Anyone any ideas on how well iphone X is going to work with the mavic controller? I'm sure the fitment will be fine but those bezels are so slim now, I worry about the screen being covered by the controller clamps? Thoughts?
Iphone X in mavic controller?

That's exactly what will happen. So I wouldn't recommend getting the X if you are concerned with that.

Can always use a stand off holder that clamps your device from the side like the ones for the iPad

The PolarPro phone mount or the LifThor phone mount would probably be a good fit for the iPhone X since those mounts don't cover much of the phone bezel.

Yup, that mount should work great. I use it with my Galaxy S8 which has almost no bezels due to the screen curving around the sides of the phone. I can leave my case on the phone and it holds it perfectly, it works very well.

No, that is not exactly what will happen. It will work exactly the same way as the previous iPhone models. DJI has not even optimized their app to take advantage of the larger screen area so there are extra black bars on each side of the screen.

Agree with skyninja that my iPhone X also fits fine. I suspect eventually dji will update their app for smaller black bars on the top and bottom and it’ll be a little better.
For me, with iOS 11.1, the screen is frozen with the camera image so that’s keeping me grounded. Re-installing dji go did not help

On the DJI forum people are reporting that the app does not work with iPhone X.
That’s really bad on DJI

there is a picture 3 posts above yours showing it working with an iphone x.......
I noticed that too. Maybe that user (skyninja) had a previous version of SW that did work? I'm at the latest (DJIGO 4.1.16 (3014) and iOS 11.1) that is currently available.
So that’s not at all what happens. The clamps do not cover the display or the facial recognition cameras. The problem however is that DJI has not optimized they’re app for iPhone X. Your stuck with a mini version shrunk down to 4.7”. When they fix this, it still will not cover the display. Just tested.
Just got the iPhone X and tried it on my Mavic Pro. As expected, it does not work. I was able to get it airborne, but it constantly crashes the app and almost the bird itself. Plus, the left clamp covers the bar used the slide up to open the phone and change from app to app. I'm thinking even when DJI updates their app to work with the X, it's still will not be compatible.
