Just a little disappointed.

Squash: Mine just came today (and it had a hex wrench in the box.) Once I figured out the quick release, I put the iPad 9.7 in the tablet mount and snugged it down. I haven't tested it with the RC yet but it sure sounds like something is different at your end because mine feels solid as a rock. More after I fly her again, hopefully soon.

The one shown in the pics a few posts back works very well. Quality piece and works with 7.5 inch also. You can use the DJI CS quick release plate which allows quick transfer between Mavic and Phantom.

Anyone know how large of a tablet will fit in the tablet mount? There wasn't anything listed on the web page or video

Yeah the hex in the box does not fit the bottom screw. That only works on the quick release. I'm going to go buy one that fits today. Hopefully it will be rock solid after I tighten it. Feels like the tablet is flopping all around hah.

Tested mine out briefly yesterday and while I didn't have a problem as you described, I did need to tighten up and put some Locktite on the screw at the bottom of the tablet holder to keep it from pivoting. That worked like a champ and now everything is copacetic.

Tightened up the base screw, but it is still not tight enough and the base moves. That is one weak point on this whole mount. That and the quick release clip for the tablet mount. If that is not tight the tablet will just spin around and you have to tighten it every so often.

I'm going to try to WELD the base to the arm next LOL. I'll let you know how that goes. Also be careful if you need to tighten that base screw. It will strip easily. Seems pretty soft as far as the metal.
