I lead the drone program for our construction company. I've found the Phantom to be a good mix of size and durability. Now I'm turning over a Mavic 2 Pro to a jobsite and it isn't a good fit. We have a host of accessories we can't use, and trying to attach an iPad 10.5 to a Mavic controller is like attaching a bowling ball to Barbie doll. The smart controller would be great if ANY 3rd party (Pix4D, DroneDeploy, etc) supported it, but DJI can't seem to sort out their SDK. Most disappointing is DJI's lack of communication. Do they not have any US-based marketing teams that understand how frustrating this is? Can't we just get one other company with enough capital and R&D to compete with DJI? Even if they announce a Phantom 5 or a Phantom 4 Pro Plus 3.0 Deluxe Whisper King they'll be available for 2 hours, then out of stock for 4 weeks while everyone sucks stock dry.
Aloha Michael,
Have you tried this $25 tablet holder?

I have one and it works very well.
DJI is in the midst of a major investigation of their supply chain. So far they lost something like $28 million and 4 major arrests with 100 employees under investigation (and that was a couple months ago). It is not a pretty picture and I am sure it is not something DJI wants to talk about.
Aloha and Drone On! |
