Just a quick follow up question. Is it possible to use this : Amazon.com: SKYDIO 2 Beacon Holder

and then order an Quadlock universal adapter on it? Universal - Universal Adaptor

this way i can center the mount? any ideas?

Why not three D print your own. There are plenty of printable beacon holders that work just fine or try your hand at designing the best fit for your needs. Thats the cheapest easiest option. I used a printed model till I found a holder CNC machined from billet aluminum it was not cheep but it serves dual duty for my adventure riding life style. the big squeeze

Hi Andy

i have shipped Beacon to Germany, the total charge i see from Ebay on my end as a seller is $30., not sure how much more you have to pay additional to ebay for the international charges, but you should be able to check it out on your end when you checked it out, if it is too much you can cancel it , thats the only way i know of on how to check the total price.

This does not work with quadlock, i have the center mount option available, but it is for go pro.

thanks

One thing I did to that same handlebar mount was cut a vertical line from the hole for the tether strap straight upwards. More than once I've needed to wand the SD2 when using it. I use a heavy duty strap that's fed through that hole and clipped to something nearby with a carabiner. That made it impossible to remove the beacon quickly and impossible to wand. The slit takes care of that, pops out quickly one handed and the beacon is still held in well enough considering that it's tethered to the bars.

A couple years ago I bought the Dirty J tablet holder for my Anafi controller. While it worked, when I was using a heavy tablet it tended to flop closed. I wrote Dirty J about this and they printed me a new holder with a little kickstand that pushed against the face of the controller that solved the issue. They sent it to me at no charge and said if we ever have recommendations for improvements to shoot them an email.

I created a mount that cost about $40.00
I used:
Flat mount 1" ball
Bar mount 1" ball
2 " Short double socket arm
3M DUAL LOCK tape (This is the KEY to the mount. SUPER Strong Velcro that you "snap" beacon into )
Optional but I don't do it. Add rubber "O" rings to hold Beacon to plate but I don't feel it's needed. I bought some but the Velcro is AMAZING. It would take a huge crash for you to have it unsnap from mount. It LOCKS the beacon on really well.
I can send a video to show how strong the hold is if you want to see.
I also can trim the flat bar a bit but I kept it long just incase I find a need for the extra 2 inches.

I like this mount because it is super easy to grab the Beacon and put it back. You don't need to unscrew the ram mount whenever you want to remove the beacon.
Its nice to unsnap the beacon and put it in your pocket or grab it real quick and drag the drone to a preferred location. Using the hold blue button down and move drone function. When done just snap it back and continue on. I rarely do this because the arrows are accessible.

I would need more space on my handle bars! how much crap can one carry!??! although, a beacon mount could be a top priority!

Well... You can use one of the mirror ram mounts instead of installing another ball. If you have one. But I went to Moab. Fell (ha ha) never fell off. It was great to be able to grab it and manually control the drone in a matter of seconds. It's a GREAT option. Nothing against the guy with 3d printer but this option for me is the best option.

You incorporated an important feature in your mount; being able to quickly remove the beacon from it's mount if needed, IMO it's a requirement for any hard mounting of the beacon. Fly long enough from a motorcycle and you'll run up against a situation where you need to wand the drone which is pretty much impossible w/o being able to remove the beacon from its mount.
