iPhone XS with Mavic Air?

Kupe · Feb 19, 2019

Hey gang-

Got my Mavic Air today and still charging batteries- hope for first flight tomorrow after watching the tutorials.

But here is a basic question. I see lots of threads of Mavic users with an iPhone XS. That's what I have and I'll be darned if I see how users are fitting it in the remote well enough for the video cable to reach it. My XS is in the very slim Apple silicone case. I've even seen mention of users with the XS Max who said no problem. Is everyone using no case with the XS- I am very reluctant to do that. Or maybe I'm missing something obvious which wouldn't be the first time!

Thanks gang!

The phone fits perfectly without modifying, without the case. It will not fit with any case that I’m aware of without modifying the rubber grips in the arms.
I have an XS and over 5 different DJI birds. The phone will not fall out if mounted properly.
I finally just went with a Mini4 for exclusive drone use and that, also fits without any mods (w/o case).
You can get different phone/Tablet mounts that fit in the arms too.
YMMV.

I have a slim silicone case on my XS and it fits just fine.

If you don’t mind, can you share a link or picture with the cover on? I’ve ordered many covers for my XS that I had to send back.
Thx

This is the exact case I have. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JXS5LTQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Maybe it’s in the manufacture run. My CS fits, albeit a little snug, in my Spark and MPP controllers.

I have an XS MAX, so I’m not sure why you’re having a hard time.

Got a xs max with silicon case and fits fine no probs , had to pop the cable from the ring to make it easier to get the connector in but fits in fine with the case
