I've bought this one, haven't arrived yet. Tad longer but 3x cheaper :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077KXKGH6

yes, they are

sent you a PM

I tried it, it is quite unreliable, the innovative angle connector is unfortunately quite flimsy. Check the reviews on amazon: Amazon.com: Right Angle Charge & Sync Lightning Cable (1-meter/3-foot): Electronics That's why I started my own project to manufacture the angled lightning cable and...

It costs 50 cents (actually a little over a dollar) to manufacture one cable given that the tooling to manufacture was dropped down to Earth from the outer space by aliens. This dollar+ includes the costs of the cable (wire), plastic for the connectors housings, a small PCB inside the lightning...

Not yet, but hopefully soon.

Okay, I see what you are saying, I'll look into that.

Never even thought about this, why? They are good only for charging and even then not so good from my experience.

Hm, what for? It will definitely interfere with the mounts like Mavmount, with lanyard attachment devices and whatnot. What are the benefits? Similar "flat angular" connector for standard USB A-type will be very bulky because connector protrudes deeply into the sleeve for stability reasons...

Which will immediately mean that the relationship with Apple is over.

Do not use the battery even if it appears to be ok. Either recycle it if the drone is okay or send it back for the refresh with the drone otherwise. I personally wouldn't even think - the price of the battery is $89, the first Refresh case is $79 AFAIR, for which you will get a new drone AND a...

Well, good for you. I didn't like these "side" cables, that's why I bothered. Do they mention MFI in the description? If not, i wouldn't risk flying with it. The last thing i want to encounter 5 minutes into the flight is the lovely message on the iPad saying "this accessory is not supported"...

I'm contemplating "professional" helicopter floats: Helimax Floats The ones for .30-.40 helis are 23" inches long, which is a little too long for Mavic, but they are (supposedly) much lighter than pool noodles.

"Advantage" being that it's an Apple cable. Apple altruistically charges money for the MFI license, and to the best of my knowledge (though I wasn't looking into it much) nobody broke the encryption in this chip, so there is no cheap counterfeit alternatives. Micro USB could be as cheap as...

Yeah, the other side is just plain straight USB A-type connector.
