Hi Community,

I'm still looking for some spare parts to satisfied my needs for a good looking pilot stand for the new P2V+ v3. One of this spare part I'm looking for is a good solid tablet holder for the remote control. Any suggestions ?

Happy Landings

The problem is that tablets come in all shapes and sizes.  Ideally whats needed is a bigger clamp on the tx.  I'm not sure there are any tablet mounts that you can buy that's why I made mine.  My iPhone 4 ran the video incredibly  slow and didn't want to buy a new smart phone just for the phantom.

What tablet do you have ?

and using a sun shield with this clamp.  It's extremely sturdy.

Hi umpa

I'm using 10" Asus Android tablets 700 and 701. I think the main point is to get a good coupling for the clamp. The rest can be a good individual inspiration.

Did you get the stand as well ?  Looks good.  I might fit a shade to mine one day.

The stand did not come with it. I'm using it mounted on my TX in place of the phone and clamp.

I got a spare DJI clamp and, together with a bracket fitted to my 10.1 Tab 4, it fits very tightly.

I ordered the Summitlink mount from Amazon, 35 USD.  Has a sun shade and fits up to 11 inch tablets.

I have a couple of pics of the setup I have, probably very similar to yours.

Thanks a lot.

Anyway, I think there's still some work to do to satisfy my P2V+

I use a ST-TP01 that pops directly on to the existing ball head that the iPhone clamp is currently attached to.
You can pick it up here:
http://www.amazon.com/RioRand-ST ... Mount/dp/B00IZTDIYS

and I have a sun shade from here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product ... 0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and it does quite well. I'll attach few pictures. It fits devices from 5" to 10" and could be adjusted to hold either top to bottom, or horizontal.

Cool pics guys!  Thanks for posting them.  Glad I ordered the sun shade, thinking that will be a must.  Glad iPad works with this thing, I can't imagine using a tiny iPhone screen.  Besides, I'm too cheap to get a smart phone, lol.  I'm still bucking the system on that one!

I don't even have wifi plan on my tablet.  I connect to wifi on my network router at home whenever I need it.  These old tired eyes I have needed something bigger than a phone to see where I'm going.  I also applied an anti glare film on the tablet and with the sunshade installed, it's great and very easy to see.

That's the other reason for the iPad.  Eyes not what they used to be up close.  I don't have a data plan either.  I will cache maps of where I'm flying when I have a wifi connection.

Secraft makes excellent, bit pricey, but worth the $ for both the DJI Transmitters with excellent shoulder straps and iPad and mini iPad.

Gerry,

It actually works really well. It's just super easy to move around and take apart or change pads or phones. All stuff that's going to be really important if I take the Phantom on motorcycle trips with me.

The DJI mount will work:

You'll need to drill a hole for the top mount point.

Okay, Here's what I did with mine. It's homemade. I can position it at any angle I chose. I can use it with all of my different pads and left the original for my phones. Changing pads is a breeze, takes 20 seconds. Comes completely apart in 30 seconds for packing. Standard, easily accessible and relatively inexpensive parts. Extremely versatile. Made it and put it on before my first Phantom flight and I still love it today.
