What's Wrong With This Picture?

[octoruss]

I'm a new Mavic owner, and thought I could connect my fullsize iPad to the Mavic controller with a standard lightning to USB cable.

As you can see by the photo, the controller has connected to the Mavic with no problem. But the DJI Go 4 app says disconnected.

I've tried two different cables. What could I be doing wrong?

Just to test, use the genuine DJI cable to connect your iPad, I think it's a cable issue cause I've had the same problem. Also, when you first plug into the iPad you should hear a chime sound meaning there is a connection.

Also, I can't see it in your photo but you must unplug the standard cable from the side port of the controller

You have to disconnect (unplug) the side cable when using the bottom USB and what version iPad?

Unplug the short cable from the side.

As above, even though the side plug isnt going into a phone it needs to be totally disconnected from the controller port.

I had the same issue before.
It was exactly the same as everyone mentioned above.
- Use DJI cable
- Unplug small cable on the side of your RC
Then it should be fine.

Remove the cable connected to the side connector and the lower USB should be fine

Ah yes, that worked. Thank you!

Haven't tried with the new firmware but I can use one of my MP battery and plug it into my controller and run my I pad through the USB and it gives me more flight time on the controller as it runs of the MP battery not the controller battery

That works too, just having a dead cable on the side messes it up

Unplug the side cable from the controller. (because not enough people repeated the same answer.)
