I like the way the hex bolt mounts it to the transmitter, no more finger screw to fiddle with, this one is very rigid.
HOW TO: Fix unstable Phantom 3 remote controller tablet mount

I'm not sure its better with all the parts where the top mounts, looks like a lot of fiddling parts and it is accommodating the old finger nut by raising it up from the mount base. The one mentioned from ebay has a very strong single hex nut to secure it to the transmitter.
All those parts is one additional part.. a jam-nut. The problem with all others is that the screw there works loose. It cant with a jam-nut
How about somebody making a holder that will accomodate an iPad Air in a protective case? I get tired of having to take mine out of its Otterbox, or bungie-cording it to the controller.
One problem with Otter and other protectors is they inhibit cooling a bit, and I am pretty sure a lot of the dropped frames seen in iPads is from heat related slowdown of gpu/cpu in the iPad, apple designed this to protect the iPads.
I dedicate an ipad mini 2 to the P3P and I made a custom hood that leaves the entire back exposed to air cooling, even the part against the DJI clamp has a space. It works great for me anyway.
I have a cheap clear plastic case on mine, and Zagg glass as well. There is no better protection. No heat problems, and the mod I did to the cradle so it would fit my larger Android tablets allows my Air 2 and case to fit VERY easily.
There are 2 posts at the base of the gearing inside that act as stops. I removed them. Now it extends about 3/16" further.
No, sorry. In this pic you can see the opening, and the location of the 8 #1 phillips screws. Inside is a rather large spring. Try to not let it get kinked when you re-assemble. You can somewhat see that I modded the bottom support to allow the old larger Samsung data cable for the Galaxy Tab 1.

Naysayers be damned, I ordered one the other day as this seems like a no brainer. 9.7" tablet on the stock holder flops around like a fish out of water, and its strictly due to the flexible plastic, it's as tight as can be otherwise.
Pre-flight routine.
Insert battery.....check
Aquire GPS.........check
Home location set.....check
Tighten thumbscrew.....check
Yes, I had that same issue and I had to very carefully dremmel the plastic away little by little until the metal and screw just popped out. Talk about a pain in the a**!
Considering that I never even tightened this screw it seems that it was stripped from the very start. That's pretty poor quality control.
