Thankyou for welcoming me to the forum, and yes I do have an original mini1 drone, unfortunately my eyesight is not what it use to be and the screen on my phone looks as though its getting smaller every day. I have been trying to find a longer version of the cable between my RC and my Samsung Tablet so that I could maybe fly for awhile longer. If you could point me in the direction of someone that might help it would be much appreciated.
Once again thankyou for the welcome.

Welcome from New Mexico. My wife and I had the privilege of spending 18 days on both NZ islands about 15 years ago. Beautiful country and great people.

I have been trying to find a longer version of the cable between my RC and my Samsung Tablet so that I could maybe fly for awhile longer. If you could point me in the direction of someone that might help it would be much appreciated.

I also have issues with my eye sight and I use a Galaxy Tablet S2 (8-inch screen) and a Galaxy Tablet A8 (10-inch screen, but heavy…) and the original USB-C to Micro-USB that came with my controller works with the S2, but I had to buy a separate USB-C to USB-C (DATA/CHARGE) cable off of eBay, it's 36" long and it was the shortest there was. It cost about $3 US (Free Shipping).

Below is a link I posted a while back about how I mount the Tablet (I'm cheap…). The bracket for the S2 is just shorter.

Fly no longer supported on any iPad Minis!

I use a mini 5 ipad with my MA2, also used it with my MM. Zero problems. Same here

There are better and shorter cables that would be a better choice but they cost a lot more. Just remember to buy a Data/Charge cable, not some cheapie from a department store that is only intended to charge a phone…

Since you are in New Zealand and I'm in the US, any recommendation on buying a cable probably would not be very useful. I suggest you google drone dealers in NZ and maybe Australia.

Finally, check out our "Local and Regional Discussions Sub-Forums" We have one for Austalia…

Australia

Welcome, Mavic drone users from Australia! - Join the other Mavic pilots in your area to discuss local laws, restrictions, great places to fly, local drone shops, etc. Start a thread to introduce yourself and let us know where in Australia you like to fly!

Lastly, Below is the link to all of the downloads offered by DJI for the Mini, including the User Manual.

After you read the Manual, read it again, you will be surprised what you missed the first time and you will be better prepared for that first "scary moment…"

How far south?
I was all over the far south last month and loved it.

I have been trying to find a longer version of the cable between my RC and my Samsung Tablet so that I could maybe fly for awhile longer. If you could point me in the direction of someone that might help it would be much appreciated.

Ebay etc have a huge range of cables to work with.
Just make sure you get a data cable,(because there are some charge-only cables) and the right connections for your tablet and controller.
They are cheap so grab a spare .
The right angle connectors are good to use with tablets.
Here's one I use:
