This review has been updated 6 times since it was first published in December of 2018. Your phone can provide a decent picture for piloting a drone, but for the utmost in clarity, you’ll have to use an iPad or something similar in size. These remote tablet holders situate the device close to your face, so you can keep an eye on the flight path while still leaving those hands free to fly. When users buy our independently chosen editorial selections, we may earn commissions to help fund the review.

10. Hooshion MobileTablet
If you have a DJI Phantom 3, the Hooshion MobileTablet is specially-made to take the experience to the next level. It creates a little more bulk for a controller that already has plenty, though, so it might interfere with your travel plans.
- Includes assembly tools
- Unclear instructions
- Mount doesn't swivel

9. Skyreat Upgraded
At nearly five inches off the pad, the holder on the Skyreat Upgraded will give your hands plenty of clearance to run the controls. That’s good, because the lack of eyelets for a neck strap mean you’ll be holding it the entire time you’re outside.
- Device won't move around
- Slots for connection cable
- Weak thumbscrew

8. Anbee Extended
As the name suggests, the handles on the Anbee Extended stick out farther than on many other models. It gives your mitts plenty of room to move around without disrupting your flight, but it also makes the whole thing bigger and bulkier than you might like.
- Won't interfere with view of monitor
- Holds oversized phones well
- Top-heavy and wobbly

7. Drone Fans
This selection from Drone Fans has dual rings and clamps that ensure your device won’t go anywhere unexpectedly. It won’t block your view of a tablet even as it holds it in place securely, so feel free to shake and gyrate while you pilot around tight corners.
- Available in two colors
- Injection-molded plastic
- Can crack screen protectors

6. RCGeek Crystal Sky
The bright red RCGeek Crystal Sky stands out in a sea of black and gray, so your videos won’t be the only eye-catching things you bring home. You can also use it as a normal holder when you just want to watch a movie from the comfort of your own couch.
- Adjustments are simple
- Durable construction
- On the expensive side

5. Powerextra Adjustable
The Powerextra Adjustable isn’t the most durable option, seeing as how it’s made of relatively flimsy plastic, but it gives you a clear view of both your screen and your controls while you use it, helping to improve your touch and dexterity in the air.
- Spring-action enclosure
- Holds devices 4 to 12 inches across
- Difficult to snap shut


4. Skyreat Foldable
The holder on the Skyreat Foldable is made of sturdy metal and closes securely, so there’s no need to fear dropping your iPad while you’re attempting to spy on the creepy neighbors. It can grasp onto a variety of devices, as well, not just tablets.
- Arms fold for storage
- Compatible with protective cases
- Tightening won't hurt hands

3. PGYTech 4
While the bulk of the PGYTech 4 is made from CNC aluminum, there’s a soft EVA insert that protects your screen, as well as all the sensitive electronics inside. The shell is curved to give you a more ergonomic feel when it’s sitting in your hands.
- Fade-resistant anode plating
- Quick-release mechanism
- Lots of room to operate controls

2. Skyreat New
Your fancy toys will be in good hands — besides your own — with the Skyreat New. It holds tightly onto your gadgets, even if they’re on the larger side, and tightens so securely that you’ll be more worried about snapping them than watching them fall.
- Comes with travel bag
- Easy to assemble
- Brings screen close to face

1. U Uzopi DJI 43210-278
The lightweight U Uzopi DJI 43210-278 is about the size of an iPhone, so it won’t add much heft or bulk to your drone. It can rotate 360° and 45° up or down, so you’ll be able to clearly see just about everything your flying machine does.
- Includes hands-free neck lanyard
- Solid aluminum frame
- Setup is a breeze
