In this video I'll show you a cheap and easy way to connect the new DJI RC 2 controller to an iPad Pro acting as a second large screen.

Use Cases:
This can be very useful if you yourself just want a larger preview of what your taking video or photos of, you may have a person with you who wants to see the action as well. Its all about choice.
8 times out of 10, I'd probably just throw the drone and controller in my bag, but sometimes I might want to make sure I'm getting a perfect shot. How you use it, is up to you, I'm just showing you how to do it.

This should also work with Android tablets, you just need to find an app that supports UVC video catpure on the Google Play Store and from I could see, there are lots available. One called USB Camera stood out and was often used with UVC video capture cables.

I've created a YouTube short on this channel now, showing how I put the tripod and adapters together.
I've also put some details below under the Tripod Attachments section

Tripod Aattachments:
So I have a Manfrotto x190 tripod which has a mid point 3/4 mounting thread, so I needed

SMALLRIG Magic Arm

3/8 to 1/4 Step Down Adapter
https://amzn.eu/d/11VyQ9l

Any decent iPad (metal) base holder with a 3/8 thread
I used a "FOTOBETTER Aluminum iPad Holder for Tripod Mount, Universal Phone Tablet Clamp Tripod Adapter Bracket with Cold Shoe Mount 1/4" Screw and Acra Swiss"

DJI RC mount adapter to SMALLRIG Magic Arm
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

But be aware, the HeiyRC rear adapter supplied as part of this lanyard, is for the original RC1 controller and DJI in their infinite wisdom changed the screw hole spacing between the RC1 and RC2 controllers, so I've drilled a small hole in the supplied rear HeiyRC adapter and it fits perfectly. This is one of the few rear RC adapters that provide a 1/4 thread, rather than just a hook. Perfect for tripod mounting the RC2 to a tripod.

HeiyRC do have a RC2 specific version that appears to fit both the RC1 and RC2, but as of writing, its only on available on AliExpress.
