Micro USB to Lightning cable

Mike_in_Letcombe · Feb 3, 2017

The Mavic comes with a short (5"?} cable for connecting iPhones to the side port. If I use my iPad Mini, I have to use a 10" USB to Lightning, plugged into lower socket. Does anyone know if there is a longer DJI microUSB to Lightning cable, so I can use the side port with my iPad?

Good question. Haven't seen one long enough though. I might try a regular lightning cable connected to OTG micro usb.

Try this with iPad mini in lower USB socket on controller the plus is your side micro USB port will always be free for charging the controller.

How is this able to reach the ports at 4 inches long?

Honestly didn't look at the size but you got the general idea.

This will help or just look for a longer one

According to DJI tech support they do not make one. I know what you are looking for. I have been looking without success for the same thing. Please post if you find one.

Go to their online store. It's in the inspire 1 accessories group. I have no idea how long it is,but I ordered one on 2/4/17 and haven't seen it yet. I sent a message on 3/4/17 and got a response that said they would ship by 3/14/17. Another lost in the shuffle deal is my guess. When it gets here, I'll provide some info.

Thanks for the link. The only problem is I am looking for a 90 degree on both ends and one end being the lightning connection and the other being a micro USB. Like the one that comes with the Mavic just a little bit longer.

What are you connecting?

If you mean me, an iPad mini 2. I know I can use the full USB at the bottom. Which I am using. I would love to use the micro USB on the side of the controller.

mini 2 is what I'm using. I have a right angle on both ends (USB to lightning) and I think I would rather have the USB straight. That's why I ordered the one from dji.

Really Starz? That's very interesting. Why is that?

The right angle on the USB end just seems to be not quite the right angle for my setup. I'm using the mavmount to hold the mini. There is a slot cut into the mavmount that the cable goes through to fish it's way up to the mini and it seems to be a little more of a twist than I like. I'll find out how the other one fits when it gets here.

How long is you double ended right angles cord? If it is long enough (6-8") and you don't like it I'll buy it from you or replace it with one you do like. Post a picture of the cord and let me know the length if you're interested. Thanks!
