Is the mobile device holder on the controller big enough to hold a full size iPad, or just a mini?

I think based on what I saw at the introduction only the mini.  You can make an adaptor for the Air and iPad.

I'm running the

Apple iPad 2 32GB, Wi-Fi + 3G (AT&T), 9.7in - White!! (Low FW iOS 6.1)

on my tx for the Phantom V2

I found on Ebay the hood and clamp to handle the Ipad.  It comes with a clamp and ball mount to adapt to just about anything you would want.

That looks like a good option. Thanks for the tip.

I bought 2 hoods so I could get the second clamp to hold the ipad.  I think one clamp would have sufficed.  Here is the only 2 pics I have of the setup in operation.

Thanks for the info. I'm not able to see the photos in the link, though.

It does surprise me that the mobile device holder from DJI wouldn't hold an full size iPad.

I don't know that for sure.  Like I said, I only have a iPad mini and while the mount is highly adjustable, I have not seen a iPad mounted in it.

I'll do a little more digging and see if I can find an official answer.

Official word from DJI is that the device holder works with a full size iPad.

With the mobile device holder at maximum open size, I must gently force my iPad Air 2 with a very thin clear polycarbonate case into the holder.  At this point I can't force the ratcheted top part of the holder to close even one click. If I take the back cover off my iPad Air 2, I can get just one click of closure by pressing down firmly on the ratcheted top part of the holder.  Forget about trying to get the foldable hood I purchased to fit in the Mobile Device Holder along with my case-protected iPad Air 2. The hood doesn't add any additional dimension, but I don't feel that the additional weight is safely held, so I can't use it.
