Mavic Mini Air 2 Pro Tablet Holder Foldable Aluminum Extender Remote Controller Holder with Lanyard for Mavic Air Pro Mavic 2 Zoom Spark Air 2 Mavic Mini 2 Controller Accessories

Some of the reviews of this stand aren't very complimentary, but I decided to take a chance on it anyway. The aluminum base is beautifully crafted, the pivoting arms are sturdy and have plenty of friction to retain their position, and even the plastic bracket that grips the phone or pad is strong and well made. It wasn't clear in the description, but the bracket has two sides, one for smaller phone sized devices, the other for larger things like iPads, so it works with a wide variety of devices. The instructions that came with it are well illustrated, but the pamphlet is small making it difficult to read. But the only real assembly is to attach the plastic bracket to the top of the pivoting arm, which is the focus of many complaints. I was unable to get the little screw tight enough to keep the bracket from twisting when I only used my fingers to tighten it. So I took it out into the shop, found a rather large screwdriver that fit the slot, and dabbed a little thread locker on the screw before trying again. This time, the bracket was held tightly in place and hasn't moved since.I bought this stand to use with an Apple iPad Mini 4 that I keep inside a Griffin Survivor All-Terrain case, and the combo works perfectly together. I was worried that the bracket wouldn't hold tightly enough, or wouldn't spread far enough, to accommodate the case, but neither is a concern. With the iPad centered over the controls, you can't see your hands or what they're doing, but the DJI Mavic Mini controls don't have a screen, so I don't feel like I'm missing anything.By the way, the base plate fits perfectly into the arms and body of the DJI controller; it was obviously made for it. There's no slop or looseness, and no chance the two will part company until you're ready to take them apart when needed.I did end up ordering a 12" long cable to connect the iPad to the controller, as the one supplied with the drone wasn't nearly long enough. The Ortikar Compatible 1FT 90 Degree Micro USB to iphone ipad OTG Data Cable Right Angle Phone Tablet Connector Cord DJI Spark, Mavic Pro, Platinum, Air, 2 Pro, Zoom Remote Controller Accessories (2 Pack), fit perfectly and works great, and was ordered here on Amazon at the same time as the stand.The photos show the stand both collapsed and extended, and there's really not much difference in overall size. There's no room for the stand in the case that came with the DJI Fly More combo, but the stand doesn't take much room in the bin that holds the rest of the drone accessories and getting the controller on and off the stand is quick and easy.Having said all this, I've only used the stand a couple of times so far, so it's hard to say how it will hold up over the long run. But the stand came with Allen wrenches and a tube wrench to fit the fasteners in the pivots, so should they loosen up with use, it should be easy to get them tight again. Other than that, there's just not much to go wrong with this thing.It's probably worth mentioning that this stand came with an adapter for the CrystalSky, whatever that is, and is not needed if all you 're going to use it with is a phone or a pad. Pretty sure that the same stand is available with out the CrystalSky adapter at a slightly lower price here on Amazon.If you're looking for a sturdy stand to hold together your $$$$ drone and phone/pad, spend a few extra bux and get one that's solid and easy to use. Two thumbs up and five starts from me...

This is a very nice and well made mount, and looks to last a lifetime.. It even comes with a neat little socket wrench which is to be used to adjust the tightness the various mount screws should they need to be.. Plus it is a good looking mount as well, and being made of an aluminum alloy, it is very light.. Even so, it does come with a well made lanyard which makes holding the remote with even the very heavy 10" CrystalSky display much easier..Also included with the mount is a plastic holder for cell phones or tablets.. This part doesn't even approach the quality and durability of the rest of the mount.. But since I will be using the DJI CrystalSky display, I will only say I am sure the holder will suitably hold a cell phone or tablet.. It is just in a totally different class from the main part of the mount..The original DJI remote controllers have the cell phone mount below the controls and joysticks.. This mount is designed for these types of controllers.. If the Mavic 2 Mini used such a controller, this mount has one serious flaw.. The cable from the controller to the display would be blocked if a CrystalSky display were to be used.. Rather than using the high speed USB C port on the bottom of the display, you have to use the USB Micro port, on the side of the display.. The instructions included with the mount point out this problem.. The data transfer speed spec' for the USB Micro port, is slower than that for a USB C port..Initially I thought this was going to be enough of a problem for me to send the mount back.. That is until I noticed if I assembled the mount as designed, and put it in place on the controller, the display would be backwards.. Remember, the mount was designed to be attached below the controller.. On the Mavic 2 Mini, it mounts above the controller.. However, once I spun the display mount around so the CrystalSky display faced the correct direction, the hole on the mount was no longer blocked and I can use the correct port on the CrystalSky display..The only flaw using it like this has to do with the locking pin on the mount.. The base of the mount has a locking pin which fits into a hole on the CrystalSky mount plate.. It keeps the plate (and thus the display) from getting crooked.. I guess you could tighten the "bejeebers" out of the screw which hold the two part together, but this really isn't the best solution..In all, it is a very nice mount for using a CrystalSky display on the Mavic 2 Mini controller.. I am mostly happy with the purchase.. Not delighted, but happy.. Thus why I only give it a 4 star rating.. flk k

I use this product to hold a full size iPad on the controller to my Mavic pro... Overall I like the mount, but there are a few things to be aware of. to begin with the way the mount is made if you're using an iPad tablet you will not be able to see the LCD on the controller. To begin with the arm for the mount goes right up in the middle of the LCD screen. But moreover, with the iPad moved up far enough that you can see the screen, it is so unbalanced it's always trying to get out of your hand.... When you put the screen down further where it's better balanced and usable. You cannot see the controller at all your hands are underneath the iPad.... Feels a bit clumsy at times but it does work well. The unit compacts down nicely to fit in a cramped case. The unit is extremely sturdy made of machine aluminum. The joint in the arm are very tight, but understand they have to be to support the weight of the iPad. The arm tension is adjustable via Alan head screws, and they provide an Allen wrench with which to adjust it. The iPad mount itself is plastic, and not terribly sturdy plastic either. In an effort to tighten the connection I have already somewhat broken the base of the iPad mount. The screw that's provided in the bottom of the aluminum amount is small with a little ring on it that is difficult to manage and tighten. Especially to get it tight enough that it feels secure enough that the iPad's not going to fall off... Having your iPad get loose in the middle of a flight, God forbid in the middle of a tight maneuver, would be more than a little cumbersome and unnerving... See the pictures for the rest of the story
