I use set screws in place of the sticks and it gives me much better control and no tremble on videos from cold hands.
I can keep my thumps on the controller to stabilize and still have full control movement.

Great idea!  Depending on the bag/case, you can probably leave those on all the time. BTW, what are the dimensions of the screw?

Nice solution!

4mm 0.70 pitch 8 mm length.
I will get shorter or cut the ones I have, very grippy and shorter will be better.
I do leave them on when storing but they will tear up the inside. You have to be careful removing from the bag.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

I don’t mind the little pegs. I seen a video of one guy actually extending them with cut sections of a bic pen glued over the original pegs.looks clean though.you should put heat activated shrink sleeves over them,give it a little texture. Fly far my friend.

Hmm interesting now I'm having thoughts of stick replacements.

Thanks for this idea!

cheers

So now you got me thinking so I added push on silicone port caps to the pegs.
They will keep them from cutting into the bag liner.
Not as grippy as the set screws but I’ll see how they work out.
Thanks for the idea.

I suppose using thumbs this might help, I do see many using pinch method with extended Sticks, Ive never had a problem controlling dji drones with stock sticks. Would be interesting to see some extra smooth footage ;+)...

Like i said.i prefer the originals but now you got me in the creative mode of my brain thinking of a way to top this. im on my way home. Heads up i do electrical for a living. I got alot of itty bitty things with threads and different kinds of material finish. Hold my beer. A pic will be here shortly.

True, I know some like to pinch the sticks.
I like just thumbs, index for record/pic button and gimbal wheel.

Just an idea, take it or leave it.

Nice idea.  I see you modified your user name.

Yeah, one member liked calling me Karen (I’m sure everyone knows what it means).
Well I’m going to bake some cookies.

Yeah, I saw the back and forth going on in that one thread.  Have fun baking those cookies.

You can search Karen, many descriptions, basically an insult.
The male equivalent is Ken.

A "Karen" is generally defined as someone who throws a tantrum at a Starbucks. Who asks to speak to the manager over the slightest inconvenience. Who uses tears to get what she wants.

Ignorant people use it as dig against any women who goes against their beliefs.
Usually someone with a low IQ who can’t communicate will toss it out as a dig.
I guarantee if I was standing in front of that member he would ... his pants, which makes it rather amusing to me and the reason I added the aka.

Keyboard cowboys always think females are white, blonde and privileged.

Time to move on.

Well actually I did bake sugar cookies for my husband but they sucked, hard as bricks.
He was a good sport and ate them.

SO what was supposed to be the question that nobody has asked

Uhh, can you use something different than the supplied control sticks?

why would anyone bother asking the question, did you, or did you just use common sense and just try something, which should be the norm, but in this day and age common sense seems to have gone out the window

Lisa3 AKA Karen Posted at 1-3 08:53

I'm sure he ate them out of fear rather than face the consequences of telling you they sucked. It's just easier that way.

One would ask a question to learn.
Part of a forum, if not the primary reason, is to share information and experiences (teach and learn,
learn and teach).
What one does with this information is completely up to them.


So now I have a question.
Why do you care about this thread, it appears you have no interest in the primary content?

title led me to curiosity to find out what this question was that no body has asked about,
