Mini 2 / Mavic Air 2 - iPad Mini Hook - Just Right

thingiverse

I did a very detailed engineering exploration of making a perfect hook to exactly match the remote of the Dji Mini 2 / Mavic Air 2 in order to attach the iPad Mini (I have a iPad Mini 4 and an iPad Mini 5, so those are what I used for sizing). This thing actually does "clip" onto the remote and stay in place by itself. The length of the hook causes the right amount of spring-loaded extension of the remote stem - enough tension to hold the iPad firmly in place without over-stretching the springs. The hook is easy-on, easy-off and it stores away anywhere. I had to do about five iterations, with each test print exposing the need for further modifications. It was a fun project. I printed at 0.1mm layer height with no supports. I did not have to use a brim to make it stick to the bed.
