Custom RC2 Mini Sticks

I made a better RC2 mini sticks. The ones made by other creators are either too difficult to put on, block the full gimbal movement or are just too big. The one I made are super tiny and even has a little tool to screw it in! STLs available on maker world soon!





taking “thumbing” to a whole new level over here.

I think it’s widely acknowledged that longer stick ends allow for higher physical resolution/control.

If it works for you i’m super happy!

this looks like a one way trip to joint pain for 99% of people haha

I use extended sticks, so smooth, I’m thinking OP’s footage is a bit errrrrr sudden. lol

I feel like their too tiny to be comfortable

I thought so too but you can have the full range of motion with smaller thumb movements

You can do that with the control settings.

Why ?

Why ?

Mostly for the convenience of not having to mount and unmount the sticks before packing it in the bag. But after using these tiny sticks I somehow prefer them over the stock ones

@Harper
Get a cover like YouTube Robert’s has. I don’t know what they are but the sticks can be left on.

Do you plan to sell them on ebay?

No, but I’ll release the files and you can get someone with a 3D printer near you to print for you!

Do you plan on putting the STL up for use?

Why DECREASE leverage and make sticks WORSE than stock???

True!

I’ve tried them, not as bad as I thought they’d be but I still prefer full sticks and can fit it all in my bag without removing thankfully.

There should be a logical reason why DJI designers did not included some parts including floaters, extension legs, extensions for internal antenna, these sticks … I have seen many useless accessories and I am afraid this is another one. physics is never wrong law of the lever by archimedes

I think this is brilliant. I use my drone in a “look at that! I need to capture this right now” kind of way. And taking out the sticks in a hurry and screwing them in quickly while trying not to drop them is something I wouldn’t mind improving upon. I will bookmark this thread and wait for the STLs to be posted (which is very kind by the way) and give them a try. Thanks for making these. I can’t wait to try them.

EDIT: I noticed there are several others on maker world who had the same idea. I think I like the design of yours more. And the tool to screw them in is a nice touch. Great job.

@Del
Haha thank you! I think the RC2’s stock sticks are super fiddly because the thread is so tiny


I’m using 2 of these thumb nuts. Works great for me
