Mavic Air 2 Tablet holder

[Janne Swede]

Have now tested tablet holder for Dji Mavic Air 2 and have found a combination that works well and is affordable.

The holder in the picture was bought on Amazon and cost $ 19.99 and the Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite Wifi cost $ 269.99.

You also need a longer cable if you want the tablet centered in the holder.

Have been using this combination for over a week now and have no problems at all.

Janne, how's the glare factor with the Huawei?

Here's a link to that item. I'm wondering if the fact that it's aluminum might cause interference with the antennas. It looks great otherwise.

Hi, I do not really know what you mean by glare I have nothing to compare with. The reason I wanted to use a tablet instead of a phone was to get a larger display. If there is strong sunshine, it is difficult to see regardless of the display. I usually stand in the shade, if this is not possible, I have made a simple display cover of ordinary cardboard. If you are interested, I can take a picture to show.

Love my SkyReat aluminum holder. Works very well for my Lenovo 10" tablet. I bought a longer cord too, but think the one that came with the drone would work and have tablet pretty centered. Since I have the new cable and it works - it'll stay.

My Skyreat is aluminum and no issues. I prefer it over the plastic ones as they seem cheap and flimsy (breakage).

I'm a fan of the Thor's Drone World 'Baldur' tablet holder for my MA2. I like the provision for either mounting it on a 1/4"-20 tripod or using the lanyard. Rock solid either way. Been using it for about 9 months. I made a sun shade out of black foam core board from Walmart (about $3). No issues with signal interference that I'm aware of.

I've been lovin' on my MavMount since day one!

be careful, that extra weight on the thin antenna rods has already proven to break more than one controllers antenna.

I haven't heard of one case of them breaking the antenna rods. It would have been reported in this forum I'm sure. I use the cheap little plastic extension similar to the OP that I got for like 7 bux and it could not work better. Just don't man handle it like anything else. Nice and compact, not bulky like the Mavmounts or the rest. And I didn't have to get another cable with my 7.9 inch tablet.
Looks like a very nice compact setup OP.

I just received the Lifthor holder for my Tripltek tablet and I love it. Worth every $!

 

[Zeprider]

I tried that aluminum holder as well. No good for me. I just received a Lifthor Baldur for my 10.4" tab. Holds amazingly well especially with the full Hoodman Navigator on. I like the tri-pod option when I am only working within a 180deg area.

Same. It suits my purposes, holds a 6th Generation iPad firmly, and packs away well. Ultra cost effective too.

Janne, I'd love to see a photo of your homemade sun shade. I need to come up with something for bright sunny days. Thanks.

Nope - got an aluminum Skyreat off Amazon (about $25 with a nice lanyard too) and it's great. The standard cord with the RC will work, but I bought the 10" braided cord cable just in case and no issues in the 6+ months I've had both. Has dual mounts - main piece sits in antennae receptacle like a phone would and then 2 hooks that hold it to the antennae rods.

Did not want to deal with plastic / ABS as some had bad issues with breakage. Not a good thing when flying and it decides to break and your tablet does a dump.

Reception / signal seems unaffected with my Air2. With my Skyreat I can move around with it a lot and not worry about packing / unpacking the drone / tablet / etc on every move. Done some longer hikes (.5 mile +) with all connected together and like a Timex watch or Energizer bunny - it keeps on going.

Where have you seen this? I've not heard of 1 issue ever with them.
