Not really .... There are MUCH BETTER tablet holders out there which will allow you to hold the Remote in a very comfortable way and fly with much more precision. I am surprised, that a "pro" like this guy is actually using his iPad in this way.

Thanks, I’m working with a Mavic Pro my son in law gave me. I was looking for a larger replacement controller battery because mine seems good for about 30 min. But I do have a 10K mah batt pack with connectors so you’ve solved my problem, many thanks!
@WhirlyBloke Жыл бұрын
I'm glad I could help you out! It's great that you're enjoying flying your Mavic Pro, and it's even better that it was gifted it to you. Using a 10K mah battery pack sounds like a fantastic solution to extend your flight time. You'll definitely get more out of your drone adventures now. Happy flying, and if you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Cheers!

Hi, I'm interested to know your thoughts on DJI batteries. I think the flight battery is the weak point with any DJI drone, as Lipos have a short lifespan and when DJI stop producing them, which I believe they have for the Mavic Pro, the drone essentially becomes unusable. Do you know if there are any reliable third party batteries which will work reliably? Thanks
@WhirlyBloke2 жыл бұрын
Do not use third party batteries. They are very questionable even if they might be cheaper and will invalidate any warranty if there's a problem of crash. I've been using various DJI batteries since 2016 with no significant issues.

If the controller is old it may be the batteries are shot. You could try replacing them - never done it myself - or always power it off the external pack. Maybe look out for a used one on eBay.

I'm having a problem at the moment where my controller refuses to charge past 1%. It must be a problem with the controller itself as the cables and plugs etc charge my other devices. Would you think that using an external battery pack like this would be an acceptable fix for flying now? The last thing I'd want to do is have the controller shut down mid-flight. Thanks.
@WhirlyBloke6 жыл бұрын
The controller is a sealed unit, but there are some tear down videos if you are brave. No idea if you can get a replacement battery though. I'd try cleaning the connector with IPA and checking it or try another charger. The connector is a know problem because it's keyed, but not very well, so it's easy to damage because you can push it in the wrong way. Using an external power pack is worth trying. If it fails, the Mavic will RTH. I fear the you may need to get a replacement controller or look out for one on ebay.

Nope. The iPad doesn't charge while the port is in use. An Android device does though. But since Android doesn't properly implement the full USB stack, the user experience isn't great. Whether you like Apple or not, IOS devices work much better because of the way they manage USB and Bluetooth connectivity.
