My Mavic Air arrived y'day and I am still studying the manual and waiting for the weather to get a bit more bearable for both me and it. Nice thing about High Plains weather is if you wait a few minutes it will change— but this time of year usually for the worse.
My questions... I will fly the drone, eventually, with my iPhone, BUT -- it is in an Otterbox case (the thin one with protective glass. While it will sort of fit in the clamp-arms the connection cord will not connect because the case does not allow it to firmly contact the 'phone connection. I'd hate to have to take the 'phone out of the Otterbox, so is there a cord with a longer connector tip that will reach into the box and make contact? (I doubt it but thought it worth a try.)
Second question, Can I fly the drone with just the controller (no phone) without "registering" it for phone control? Just fire it up and use the sticks on the controller?
Thanks for any help.
PS... I registered it with the FAA last night. Easy process. And wallet only $5 lighter. I guess that's fair for three years.)
