Anyone Using a CrystalSky with their Mavic 2 Controller

Does anyone use their Mavic 2 controller with a CrystalSky?
Am really loving the CrystalSky Ultra, really easy to see the screen even in direct sunlight.
I would like to use a holder in the Mavic 2 controller that retains the CS quick release mounting.
Appreciate any advice

The M2P/Z controller is (physically) identical to the MP controller - so this will apply equally to them, as well.

I know on the Mavic 2 range they store the spare controller sticks under the folding arms, wasn’t sure if that would require a slightly modified mounting plate?

Yeah - that minor detail is true. Detachable (aka “Losable”) sticks would really piss me off.

Since getting my CS I’ve tinkered on my 3D printer to print my own simple design to mount a spare SC mount off eBay.

That looks like the perfect solution, I have a spare CS mount, so I would just need the actual 3D printed plate, how did you fasten the top fixing screw, did you use a captive nut or is the 3D material strong enough to thread and screw in to it?
Is that shown on a MP r/c? The M2P is very slightly different at the top edge where the sticks are stored, I believe

I’ve printed it at a high infill density, I think I printed it at 95% which enables the larger screw to self tap in to the plastic. The other end I just used longer screw to go through to the SC threads.

This particular mount lifted of the build plate at two corners which made them taper a bit but actually it made no difference to it fitting the arms.

I could print one out for you, although mine is based on a Mavic Pro, I’ll be supporting a friend ( 91 years old ) with his Mavic 2 in the next few days when we have a good day. I can check the compatibility then for the Mavic 2 controller.

Spot on Lance.
Any chance of buying one next time you have the printer on?
Still got your Paypal from the Inspire 2 mod that you did last time.
Will drop you a pm.
I love this site.

Sure no worries mate, could you take some close up pictures of your controller like this area.

mickydd · August 31, 2019, 5:17pm

Will do Lance, I will post pics later on tonight, just out at the moment.
Thanks again, appreciate your help.

Here you go Lance @Njoro
Sorry, I’m no David Bailey, let me know if you need more

Thanks for the pictures, I can confirm that it will fit your Mavic 2.
