I was playing with my Mavic 2 Zoom last night in the house without flying it.
Just to test the charging port and data port configurations.
This is my configuration:
DJI charging power pack plugged into the side micro USB on the side of the remote.
iPhone connected to the bottom USB-A with a 1 meter Apple data cable.
I was able to get the remote charging icon showing charging on the remote LCD, and iPhone being charged too.
I didn't have a lot of time to verify the charging speed. But seems to be slow, which makes sense because both remote and iPhone are working and charging at the same time.
My feeling is that the charging current will able to maintain the battery level or charging the batteries very slowly, which is a good news to me.
I will do more test to confirm that.
But during the test I did have an occasion the iPhone got disconnected from the remote. I turn off the remote and terminate the DJI Go 4, and restarted them to fix the problem.
It only happened once. I was not able to reproduce it.
Not sure if anyone else had the same experience. (For now, I take it as I didn't plug in the lightning cable tight enough).
But overall, charging both remote and iPhone while flying seems to be an OK solution.
