Better Grip for iPad on Transmitter.

I like to fly with a big screen but the mount on the transmitter was always wobbly no matter how tight the locking screw was. Here is my solution.

Looks good. Did you make it with a brake, or purchase it that way? If so where.

Does it interfere with the control sticks?

I made a paper pattern and a friend cut and bent it at a sheet metal shop. No interference with the sticks. Also made a hood that sits on the iPad.

Nice idea. I no longer own a brake so I was hoping it was pre-made. If you don't mind giving me the dimensions I would appreciate it. Machine shop nearby, worth a few bucks. Assuming stainless. 1/16?

Here is a PDF with dimensions. It is important that the bends are exactly parallel. Also a piece of foam rubber is required on the lower lip.
Hopefully you can work with metric dims. If not give me a shout and I can convert the units in my CADD program.

Got it. Thanks

Nice little bit of ingenuity. Neat little simple fix. I use an old iPad Air and I don’t seem to have that problem. It might be the angle that I look at the screen.

Will this work on the P3S Controller as well? Cool idea. Thanks!

It will work with all DJI txs that look like the one in the video.
