I love my new MavMount but I don't like the play in the connection to the RC controller. Is anyone else with a MavMount having the issue I show in this video?

Your video is not visible.
Mine kind of did the same thing at first and I determined it was because the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 that I was using was stretching out the clamps because it was slightly thicker than say an iPhone or even a Samsung Galaxy S5/6/7 phone. over time of not putting my tablet into the clamps, the clamps slowly returned to normal and the MavMount became tighter in the clamp. It is not 100% movement free, but much better than it was even just a few days ago.I love my new MavMount but I don't like the play in the connection to the RC controller.

@leenanj Wow thanks for the feedback. It looks like it's about $30 to get it printed in fiber-reinforced nylon so it is as strong as aluminum at 3D Hubs: Browse online 3D printing services. If I hadn't already spent $60 on the MavMount I would give it a try.

So my question is what have you been using and could it have possibly stretched out the clamps slightly resulting in your noted wobble?
Andrew, thank you for posting this. I too received my mavmount yesterday and was playing with it this morning. I echo your comments about the overall quality of this device. It is absolutely top-notch! But......... Like you, I immediately noticed the "wobble" with an iPad mini. At first, I thought I didn't have it inserted properly or the arms fully closed on it but after trying several times, the problem is there. There's no getting away from it. Is it a deal killer? I don't think so but I have to admit that I am a little disappointed that this wasn't addressed in the original design. I think it could've been dealt with very easily by adding a small tab to the design that fit into the cut out on the controller to clear the lightning or mini USB connector when the arms folded. Depending on how it feels when actually flying with it, I may address this myself by drilling and tapping a small machine screw along the edge that will insert into that slot and stabilize it.I love my new MavMount but I don't like the play in the connection to the RC controller.

I ended up putting 2 thin strips of Gorilla tape along the top edge and that fixed it, and that stuff is strong. The need to make the top edge a bit thicker.Could you add a foam piece to the top edge where it meets the controller? Isn't there some loose foam pieces in the mavic box.

I think he is on the forum.I have to wonder why they didn't catch this in R&D. I was going to recommend the same fix, glad it works. Since my Mavic is still nowhere to be seen (thanks Best Buy), I've been using the mavmount as an iPad holder for the workspace desk.
Has anyone contacted the company to notify them of the issue?

Thanks jesse, already hereI have sent him an email.
Yes, I have the same problem. I notified William Jason about this. You should too!I love my new MavMount but I don't like the play in the connection to the RC controller. Is anyone else with a MavMount having the issue I show in this video?
