Thats exactly what I did too. I could see that one coming

Hey Chris,

You guys are great...too funny

Inspire mount here too, installed within the first week and happy as Larry.
Unfortunately I have to agree that this isn't a warranty claim, sorry for your loss.

Check yur home contents insurance if you have that. Not sure what type you get in Ukraine, but 'Personal Possessions' insurance is very common in UK home contents policies, which will usually cover accidental damage to possessions you have on you anywhere outside the home; so if you drop your camera, or have your cellphone stolen, it's covered.  Or in this case, your i-pad.....

You might also get a cheap Android tablet dedicated for flying; I bought a cheap Lenovo tablet specifically for the Phantom.  It was £59 or around $100 and if that breaks, it's no great loss.

Glad you're still smiling....

just in case anyone missed this information the first time
I taught it would be beneficial to remind others members about this problem!  

Did we ever find out how come this happened?
I understand the stabilization bracket that everyone is talking about is great and fixes the problem!
However...why did this happen?

Chris any updates?

FYI,

Now they make stability brackets for the P4 and inspire controllers with the wide foot...as well as for the P3 A/P

You can still order from China direct shipping is about 8-9 weeks

You can order fromFAA Drone Decals with first class USPS free shipping

Did this really happen to someone or is this made up?

DJI is a great company, what makes them special is they actually listen to their customers,
with each revision to the Phantom they make improvements that is why the P4 has a metal mount instead of plastic.

Metal mounts are more stable then plastic...and some metal mounts are better then others...but I won't talk about that I promised.

So yes the story is true to my best understanding, however there is a back story.
The customer who this happen too didn't like the way the IPad was shaking about and over tightened and stripped out the screws on the plastic bracket.
A bump was all it took to break it loose from the controller.
