That's cool, if you change you brolly for a Photographic Chrome Umbrella you will double your signal...

Woah! Now that's an idea!!! I knew I should have snagged that dish antenna last year when my neighbor threw it away.

Hey - if it works!

ROFL, I love it!!! The unknown pilot!!

Yes Barbara, I fabricated this to allow me to fly in comfort - It works. Can't fly without it now!

Alright!!! We'll create a fad!!!

Very nicely done. Somewhat similar in concept (minus the monitor) to some rigs I've seen RC modelers use. How easy is it to use the App's controls on the monitor?

I went a different route, mounting all onto a tripod. All I need to do now is add a parasol!

Hi Barbara, could you please post a picture of your setup, thanx...fly smart fly safe

This rig was built for the Spark and the CrystalSky monitor, but I could use it on the M2Z. The mount in the photo (the red piece) blocks the USB-C port on the CrystalSky, which is my preferred connection for the M2Z. The aluminum coloured piece is the adapter I fabricated and mounts directly to the quick release plate of the tripod.

That's totally awsome...the red colored parts were bought? ...and then you fabricated the silver part so it could be mounted to the tri-pod, is that correct

Correct. Flip the quick release on the tripod and I can carry the rig or use the lanyard.

Where did you purchase the red parts
