I want a way to power an iPad from a USB battery bank at the same time that the iPad receives the data signal from the RC. I've tried a bunch of accessories on Amazon and none can do that. For example, the Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter, while it has all the right ports, simply does not charge the iPad from a battery bank if I connect it at the same time as the RC. Several other similar adapters with all the right ports don't do the job.
Someone must have figured how to mix a data signal from one cable with the power input from another cable and feed both simultaneously to an iOS device.
Here's the backstory of why I want that:
When I go flying with my Mavic 3, I fly one battery after the next for up to 8 hours (I charge several batteries in parallel while I fly another one). I use iPads with the RC (8th and 9th gen iPads), and even if I set the DJI setting for the RC to charge the iPad, each iPad only lasts about 4 hours.
(I would better tolerate the switching of one iPad for the other if it wasn’t for the fact that waypoint flights can't be copied from one device to the other.)
(I also have the DJI-RC, the one with the integrated screen, but I don't like the smaller screen and the much lower resolution screen recording. I much prefer to use iPads with the RC-N1.)
Ideas?
