I originally had trouble trying to get my Android tablet (213.4 mm on the long side) into my MP1 controller's arms.
When I learnt the controller can fit an iPad Mini 4 (203.2 mm on the long side) within it's arms, albeit just, I thought that it must be possible to fit my Android tablet somehow, since it was only 1 cm longer than the iPad Mini 4.
There is a simple solution. Where the arms of the controller pivot out from the controller body, if you file down the little lip that the arms stop against on the controller body by just a few mm each side, the arms can then swing wider by a few degrees, which adds up to about 1 cm or more (in total) to how wide the arms can open. Now I can fit my 213.4 mm wide Android tablet within the arms of the controller no problem. And since it only needs such a tiny amount of work, it grips just as well, and you can't even see any evidence of the modification.
Even without this modification, I suspect that over time (ie with more use and wear around where the arms rub against the controller body), the arms would probably swing open wide enough by themselves. |
