MA2 Controller tripod mount

[Kendallfordguy]

I've noticed on a few videos that people have their MA2 controller mounted to a tripod. The is no threaded hole on the bottom of the controller, so I'm looking for suggestions on how to mount my controller to a tripod?

Thanks!

I'm quite confused... I understand why somebody might want to have straps to tie the controller around their necks... but why a tripod? When you operate the controller, you should be constantly moving it to align it towards your drone, so why do you want to fix it in place with a tripod?

Probably the most secure option that I know of right now would be the Lifthor Tablet Mount. It mounts around the Air 2 remote and has the standard tripod receiver at the bottom. MavMounts also have a Tripod receiver, but based on their design, it would place the tripod beneath the antenna extensions and not the RC body itself. Here is a link for the Lifthor Mount.

Controller Tripod Mount V2

Finished fabricating a new tripod adapter for my M2Z controller/crystalsky/PolarPro Flightdeck rig. Attaches to the tripod's quick release plate. Can mount the whole rig onto a tripod or quickly release it and use the lanyard. (or just handheld)

If your flying with a 10inch tablet it can be quite tiresome on the wrists after a while. They may also be using a range extender antennae , combined with the tablet is a fair weight to hold comfortably.

Lifthor Mount - that's what I am getting.....

Range extenders don’t work well without realigning them with the drone’s position. That is the nature of the radio signals used for control and video.

The biggest reason is for taking hyperlapse videos. Depending of the settings, the drone can be stationary for a fairly long period. It would be much easier to have the controller on a tripod rather than standing in one place holding it for 20 minutes or so.

No need for special rigging.
