DJI Mavic Pro Controller Cell Phone Holder/Mount

thingiverse

I really liked the idea of raising the cell phone above the Mavic Pro Controller, because on my Galaxy 9+ some of the buttons, including the home button, were covered by the controllers side holders. So I searched for a suitable design, but didn't find a good fit for me. So I borrowed from several sources... listed here... and created a design in Tinkercad. (My thanks to all the sources) I wanted a flat base plate. The design of the Mavic is all about being compact, I wanted something that would be equally unobtrusive. The hinge detachable from the baseplate using the impossible joint. If you print the hinge 1% smaller than the baseplate it will go in and out quite nicely, (moving in two planes, down and to the rear) and will be very secure, which is important since I didn't want the cell phone to fall out. I'm very happy with the Hinge, it's very secure in the base plate and nearly impossible to accidentally remove. I borrowed the hot-shoe go pro mount for top to simplify mounting different clips. I could not get the original spring clip to print, so I borrowed the camera mount, but remade it so the holes are smaller for the go pro screw, (tighter fit for security) and extended the base to raise the phone up since it was originally to low for me to get my hands behind the phone to the controller. The clip is easy to resize for any specific phone. (the iPhone X for example and Galaxy 9+) Adjust your print to allow the phone to slip into the holder without crunching the side buttons. You can print the hinge on any number of planes but some supports are needed. Same for the clips, but I find printing them on the side works best. The only thing you need to add is a go pro screw, readily available on Amazon. The nut fits nicely in the hinge mount, as the hot-shoe was specifically designed for it. This is printed in ABS for strength, and I recommend using high fill. Don't crush the hinge with the go pro screw, it's not necessary as it will hold it snugly and securely and allow you to move the cell phone until you can comfortably view it. See the top photo if you are worried about it blocking the view of the screen below. I hope you like the design, and find it useful. I printed it in glow in the dark ABS because that was the only thing I could think of that would make this design cooler. I'm sure it can be further refined, but I'm at the extent my abilities here.
