Alternative consideration for mounting 

When mounting stands on Mavic consider whether you like to shoot to back or to front. 
Then choose your preferred mounting style. We think shooting direction to rear is better 
since in most scenarios Mavic is likely to have forward speed. In that case rear launch will 
get help for chute opening by velocity of vehicle. 

Allow the glue to set overnight for a permanent strong connection.
