Recommended phone mounts and cables?

nisfrome · Feb 17, 2018

Having a difficult time finding a phone mount & cable for the Mavic Air controller that has good reviews on Amazon. Anyone using one with an iPhone X that they can recommend? Bonus if it can work with a phone in a case. Thanks

I wouldn't use the PolarPro. It was built for the Spark but does fit around Mavic Air controller. The problem is that it limits antenna movement and the USB cable is almost impossible to connect.

Oh this seems like a more clever design / placement than the ones that block the antennas

Yes and it fits in the claws of the controller perfectly, you can leave your case on, and it is really adjustable and telescoping. I bought an extra connecting cable and permanently taped it to the neck of the mount so I dont have to go fiddling around for a cable when Im ready to fly. It's always there.
