Despite having to remove the DJI Inspire attachment plate, this device works well. The bottom plate includes a hole, I assume for a laynard attachment. The vertical arm is a two piece ball head, which pivot straight up at the center, but fold down for more compact storage. The two larger holes on the plate are reliefs for each half of the ball head.
The upper bracket attaches to the ball head of the arms. The plastic tension nut feels sturdy to keep your CrystalSky at just the right angle. It does cover the controller screen, but you can see around it if you really need to.

Questioning whether the plastic ball socket is strong enough for my 7.85" CrystalSky monitor.
So I'm having mixed feelings about this one. I spent a lot of time considering the SKYREAT, Polar Pro and MavMount to attach my CrystalSky 7.85" monitor to my Mavic Air Remote Controller. I almost purchased the Polar Pro but the reviews consistently remarked how awkward it was and, with good reviews of the SKYREAT, I really appreciated how it folded so compact. A perfect accompaniment to the compact nature of the folded Mavic Air.The construction seems excellent - all but the plastic socket that attaches to the stem and tightens with a plastic nut. While it can be tightened enough to hold the CrystalSky in position with your fingers, if you really tighten hard, sudden movements of the controller will still cause the monitor to slip out of position. My solution for now was to 3D print a custom wrench, that fits the star-shaped plastic nut, to just give it a little extra twist to lock the monitor down. I'm not sure how long that will last, however, and I plan to use it for awhile and see how it goes.I'm definitely going to set myself a reminder to make a final evaluation before my return window runs out. I was really enthusiastic about this mount, but now I'm having second thoughts.
