The LifThor Baldur 2 is a new and improved tablet holder designed for DJI Mavic AIR 2(s), Mini 2, and Mavic 3 PRO drone remote controllers. This user manual provides instructions on how to assemble and use the device, along with its key features and compatibility.
Function Description:
The LifThor Baldur 2 serves as a robust and secure mounting solution for smartphones and tablets, allowing drone pilots to attach their preferred display device to their DJI remote controller. This enhances the piloting experience by providing a larger and clearer view of the drone's camera feed and flight data. The holder is designed to integrate seamlessly with the DJI remote controller, ensuring stability and ease of use during operation.
Important Technical Specifications:
The LifThor Baldur 2 consists of several key components:
- Aluminum Base: This forms the main structure of the holder, providing a stable platform for mounting the remote controller and the tablet clamp. It features a pre-installed anti-slip pad to protect the remote controller from scratches and ensure a secure fit.
- Universal Clamp: This clamp is compatible with a wide range of smart phones and tablets, supporting devices with an expanding clip range of 65mm to 230mm. This allows it to accommodate tablets up to 12.9 inches, such as the iPad Pro.
- Star Knob Thumbscrew (¼" -20 x ½"): Used for securing the universal clamp to the utility mount, allowing for angle adjustments.
- Wing Knob Thumbscrew (M5 x 20mm): Used to secure the neck of the aluminum base to the main body of the remote controller.
- Hex Key / Allen Key: Provided for loosening or tightening the utility mount to adjust its angle.
- Utility Mount: This component connects the main aluminum base to the universal clamp, offering flexibility in positioning the tablet.
- Neck: Part of the aluminum base that connects to the remote controller's antenna bars.
The universal clamp features two mechanisms for secure tablet placement:
- Ratchet Part: This mechanism allows the clamp to be extended in 6 fixed steps (3 on the top and 3 on the bottom) to adjust to the size of the tablet. It is recommended to set it slightly smaller (1" / 2.5cm) than the actual tablet size for a tight, secure fit. Side buttons must be pressed and held to extend the ratchet mechanism.
- Spring Mechanism: This spring-loaded part holds the device firmly in place once the tablet is inserted in landscape mode. Users pull the spring mechanism upwards, place the device, and then release it to secure.
Usage Features:
The assembly and usage of the LifThor Baldur 2 are straightforward:
- Preparation: Remove the wing knob thumbscrew from the back of the aluminum base. Prepare the DJI remote controller by fully extracting its antenna.
- Mounting the RC: Gently lower the remote controller into the bay of the aluminum base with a slight inclination, ensuring it is aligned and centered with the mount.
- Securing the RC: Reconnect the neck of the aluminum base between the antenna bars back to the main body of the remote controller. Finish screwing back the wing knob thumbscrew to securely mount the RC to the holder.
- Attaching the Universal Clamp: Insert the star knob thumbscrew from below the utility mount through the small round hole. Screw the universal clamp onto the utility mount.
- Adjusting the Angle: If needed, use the provided hex key to loosen the utility mount and adjust its angle for optimal viewing.
- Inserting the Tablet: Adjust the ratchet part of the universal clamp to a size slightly smaller than your tablet. Place the phone or tablet in landscape mode by pulling the spring mechanism upwards, inserting the device, and then releasing it to secure. The spring-loaded part will hold the device firmly.
Alternative Setups:
The LifThor Baldur 2 offers versatile mounting options:
- Tripod Mounting: An integrated tripod mounting point is located underneath the aluminum base, allowing the entire setup (RC and tablet) to be mounted on a standard tripod for stationary operation or hands-free viewing.
- StrapThor Pro (Body Tripod): The holder is compatible with the StrapThor Pro body tripod (sold separately), which allows users to wear the remote controller and tablet setup on their body, providing stability and comfort during extended flight sessions.
- StrapThor Pro Lanyard: A StrapThor Pro Lanyard (sold separately or included in a combo kit) can be attached to the holder, offering an additional layer of security and convenience by allowing the user to hang the remote controller around their neck.
- Tripltek 7" Tripod Bracket: The holder is also compatible with the Tripltek 7" tripod bracket (sold separately), suggesting further specialized mounting options for specific tablet models or use cases.
Maintenance Features:
While the manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features, the robust aluminum construction and pre-installed anti-slip pad suggest durability and protection for the remote controller. The use of standard thumbscrews and a hex key for assembly and adjustment implies that components can be easily tightened or re-adjusted as needed. Regular cleaning of the clamp and base to remove dust or debris would be advisable to maintain optimal grip and functionality. The design, with its separate components, also suggests that individual parts could potentially be replaced if damaged, though this is not explicitly stated.
