Tablet holder compatibility

[jwt873]

After my first two M2 flights, I've decided that I can't stand using a phone to fly.. I need to press my 9.7" iPad Pro into service, so now I'm looking for a tablet adapter.

Just about all of the adapters I've seen on the net are for earlier versions of Mavic controllers. (The Pro & Air). I've never seen a controller from an earlier Mavic, so I can't visualize the sizes of them. I imagine they are the same size, but, before ordering, I'd just like to confirm that the phone grip dimensions are the same or close to those on the Mavic 2 and that controller will be able to clamp on the base of the tablet adapter..

Thanks in advance...

The MavMount is excellent and works well with the M2 as well as earlier, see mavmount.com. I use it with my Crystalsky and ipad mini

I'm also on the lookout and I've seen the lifthor and skyreat recommended. The lifthor doesn't obstruct the view of the controller screen, but it's a bit on the expensive side.

You might not need an adapter if it is the same size as the ipad mini, you can just stretch out the legs and it will fit.
Edit: Sorry, the ipad mini is apparently 7.9" so it won't work.

Mavmount 3 works well with the 9.7 iPad. Just make sure to get the right pad clamp; the skinny one does not work if your pad is in a case.

Thanks for the replies.. I went with the Mavmount and made sure it had the right clamp. (Thanks parkgt)..

I think you will like it. It is very solid and secure.

I do find that for a three battery session I prefer a better harness over the neck lanyard supplied by Mavmount. I bought this one and so far find it more comfortable for longer periods:

I really appreciate your efforts with this great program. Helps a lot to visualize the flight; it is just too bad that the framing by Litchi is so sloppy. Things often look better in the Virtual Mission than the actual mission footage due to the framing drift.

The shoulder lanyards don't work for me. I'm too short and my spine curves too much.
