As an off-road enthusiast and drone pilot, I’ve always enjoyed the thrill of combining my love for motorbiking and aerial photography. However, managing all the gear—especially during rugged off-road sessions—can be quite a challenge. One problem that constantly nagged me was how to securely mount my DJI RC controller while riding. I wanted a solution that didn’t require adding more mounts to my bike, which was already equipped with a Garmin Zumo XT GPS.
After searching for a solution and finding none that met my needs, I decided to take matters into my own hands. That’s how the 3D Printed DJI RC Controller Holder was born.



The Problem: Too Much Gear, Not Enough Mounts
If you’re like me, you want to keep your setup as streamlined as possible. Off-road riding already requires a lot of focus and energy, and the last thing you need is to fumble around with multiple mounts or have your equipment in less-than-ideal positions. I needed a way to:
- Support my DJI RC controller securely during my rides
- Utilize the existing Garmin Zumo XT GPS mount on my bike
- Switch quickly between my GPS and drone controller without hassle
These were the main challenges I set out to solve with this product.
The Solution: A Custom 3D Printed Holder
After some trial and error, I designed a 3D printed holder that ticks all the boxes. Here’s why it works so well:
- Precision Fit: The holder is designed specifically for the DJI RC/RC2 controller, ensuring a snug and secure fit. It’s 3D printed using high-quality, durable materials, which means it’s built to last even in tough off-road conditions.
- Seamless Integration: One of the biggest benefits is that this holder attaches directly to your existing Garmin Zumo XT GPS and QuadLock mount. No need for extra mounts or a cluttered setup—just a clean, efficient solution.
- Quick-Switch Capability: The design allows for a quick and easy transition between your GPS and DJI RC/RC2 controller. Whether you need to navigate through rough terrain or capture stunning aerial footage, you can switch between the two in seconds.








Built for Off-Road Adventures
This product isn’t just a quick fix—it’s a well-thought-out solution that meets the demands of serious off-road riders and drone enthusiasts. The holder’s stability and ease of use make it a reliable companion on all your adventures.
Available Now on Etsy
If this sounds like the solution you’ve been looking for, you can check out the 3D Printed DJI RC Controller Holder on my Etsy shop. While it’s perfect for Ducati DesertX riders, it’s not exclusive to this model—anyone with a Garmin Zumo XT GPS or QuadLock mount can benefit from it.
Final Thoughts
I created this product out of necessity, but I’m excited to share it with others who might be facing the same challenges. Simplifying your gear setup can make a huge difference in your off-road experience, allowing you to focus on what really matters: enjoying the ride and capturing those incredible drone shots.
And as always, happy riding and safe flying! 🚴♂️🚁
