I have a pocket size Mini Max 20,000Mah battery charger, saw a video showing a guy charging the Mavic controller while flying, plugged micro connector from the phone to the USB Port of the controller and the USB charging cable from the charger into the charging port of the controller. Can you use both ports of the controller at the same time?
IE: micro port for charging and USB port for connecting.

Never mind found this link, it will work, handy as the controller drains around 4 batteries of flying.

SOLUTION: Charge Phone and Controller while Flying Mavic Pro

It works but DJI recommend not to do it, soi deally you'd probably prefer to charge during downtime between batteries.
 
Ya, not going to take the chance, appreciate the feedback.
I don't think I would attempt this either. I modded my antennas on a second RC that I bought and I'm thinking about extending the internal battery leads outside the controller and that way I could plug in a higher mah battery and/or have multiple batteries that way I could plug in fresh batteries between flights. I am surprised that I have not seen anybody doing this yet on youtube.
