Hi everyone,

as many, i'm stuck with not being able to use the crystalsky monitor with the Mavic 2 Pro due to lack of mounting bracket. So my question is - being relatively new to all of this - can I use the Mavic Platimum remote controller with the new Mavic 2 Pro?

Thanks for any insight and help.

Cheers

At this time, they are not compatible. Members of DJI have hinted that this may changed in the near future though.

Dude! nope and it will not change because it total different.

You could swap the grips, see post 3# in this thread: https://forum.dji.com/thread-163773-1-1.html

They use different types of ocusync transmission tech so I believe they are not compatible.

Thank You, that sounds promising. Do you happen to know if I have to take the body apart or is it only that one has to unscrew the grip itself at the end of the arm? Cheers

  
i used my old spark bracket, just dril  extra holes and put a small piece of woord inside the grips. Then use normal screws.

I'm so sick and tired of DJI lack of care. So I think I'll go with this solution....https://evolution3d.com/shop/rad ... rystalsky-mount-v2/

Anyone any experience with this?

Then you should also have a look at the Polar Pro mount for CS: https://www.polarprofilters.com/ ... stalsky-mavic-mount
This is what I use and I love it.

Oh S%$$^& I'm obviously pretty new to all of this. I looked at that, because I ordered ND filter from them and thought that this mount does not fit the M2P

Like the original DJI Goggles, the hardware in the Mavic Pro RC is firmware upgradeable to OccuSync 2.0.  Like the original goggles it will be limited to the 2.4 ghz band.  Will the Mavic Pro RC be usable as a Primary or only as a secondary controller remains to be seen.

Very good points

Fits perfectly.

Hi, thank you for reaching DJI Forum. We do apologize for the issues you are facing. Mavic Platinum remote is not compatible with the new Mavic 2 Pro. As of the time being, the mounting bracket is currently unavailable. Kindly visit our website for future updates. Your patience is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I took my MP crystalsky bracket to my machinist friend and he adapted it to the new MP2 Controller.

He widened the holes slightly, reduced the rubber sticks holder (useless feature DJI!!) and voila! fits and works perfectly.

This something you can do yourself but just to be safe I took it to him.  He has all the right tools.

He did such a great job it's hard to tell there was work done on the parts.

Also, you can install the app updated APK file and use your Crystalsky.

There's another thread here that has the file and describes the process in detail.

Hi,

Have a look at what I did... It should work for you too. I'm really pleased with it.

It's really solid and will certainly work till DJI bring out an updated version for the new controller.

There's no need to cut/machine anything of the new controller... you just need the correct screws.

Dji has already announced that Mavic Pro RC will be compatible in a future FW update and you will be able to use both RC’s together, wacthberger’s suggestion is a pretty good one.

Thanks everyone for your input. If any of you would know how useless I am with DIY you would understand my queries. The "long screw" suggestion from Mark1971 might do the trick until such time that DJI makes the old RC work via SW update. Thanks everyone and Cheers

Soul_fixer… Just make sure you can get the ones with the correct thread... my pics should show the packet with the full dimensions of the screws used.

Good luck fella.

Tho I am still hoping that DJI bring out the revised mount soon

get the mount made by Polar Pro
