Suitable upgrade to my Mavic air 2

[fluro78]

If I am very happy with the features and functions of this model, but I would like to do away with using my phone as the screen, what would be the suggested model to upgrade to to get the all inclusive transmitter?

I use a iPad mini 5 with mine. Zero problems. I use the HoodMan base for a sunshade at times. Adapter is needed for using this setup.
Great drone, very reliable and great fun to fly. I use a landyard as well, heavier than the iPhone setup. Mine went obsolete and failed to work so that’s why switched to the iPad.

I have the Air 2s and considering just getting the controller with screen, but its $200+ and I have 2 phones so I just use that....considering getting a larger holder for my Z Fold6 so I can open the screen wide.

I use an Air 2S with goggles best way to go ..if you have a spotter.

Until you upgrade, you could purchase the RM500 remote that is compatible with the MA2.

Pardon Our Interruption...

You'll get a better drone and controller if you upgrade in the future since the MA2 is an older drone.

I have a MA2 and still enjoy flying it with my standard controller and a TriplTek tablet.

Have fun shopping.

The M2 still delivers a great image and can be used with Litchi for easily programmable and complex waypoint missions.
You can get a DJI Smart Controller for a little over $300, used.

I fly my Air2S with a full size iPad Air and it works great. It’s not too heavy either.

Do you still need to use it with the transmitter. If so, how do you attach to transmitter?
Mine will only accept the size of a mobile.

I have already asked DJI about that, they advised it wasn't compatible. So that is why I am looking at upgrading.

I did ask DJI about this option, but they advised it was not compatible. Rather confusing.

Use this link to access DJI’s very own compatibility chart. You will see The Smart Controller is for the M2 and MA2.

Aircraft Accessory Compatibility

If you want to know whether the accessories of the aircraft are universal/compatible, such as batteries, remote controls, chargers, etc., please refer to this article for help. #Product Usage

Sorry, but I must be reading it wrong, but it refers to the 2S, not the Mavic air 2

It is confusing. I thought I chose the correct one. Sorry about that.

They make after market mounts that will work with the controller to fit lager screens.

I use the Lifthor mount from Thors Drone World for my TriplTek tablet.

I customized my case to accept the rig without having to take it apart for storage.

No problem, thank you

Yes I use a adapter mount for the transmitter so I can attach the iPad to the mount. The mount is spring loaded just the transmitter. It’s a bit awkward but works very well for me.

Just did a search, found a nice adapter that places the iPad over the transmitter, keeping the CofG central.

Get yourself a neck lanyard. They help alot when flying with lager platforms.
