I have convinced myself to upgrade from a Ipad Mini 4 to the Crystalsky Ultra. Blinking expensive but I figure if I go for the cheaper high brightness I will regret it. A couple of things I would like to know is whether I can record the 4k video straight to the Crystalsky without having to download it from the Mavic pro platinum as it is a pain having to take the SD card out every time, and I hate the micro usb slot. And secondly I will need to get something to enable me to charge it. Is there any sort of lead I can use to connect to my Mavic charger or maybe someone can point me to a plug that I could connect to my computerised lipo charger.

No

I will need to get something to enable me to charge it. Is there any sort of lead I can use to connect to my Mavic charger or maybe someone can point me to a plug that I could connect to my computerised lipo charger.
You need

Inspire 2 Battery Charger (IN2C180)
Inspire 2 Battery Charger (ADE018)
Inspire 2 Car Charger (C6S90-2)
Inspire 1 100W Battery Charger (A14-100P1A)
Inspire 1 180W Battery Charger (ADE018)
Inspire 1 Car Charger (C6S90)
Phantom 4 Series Battery Charger (PH4C100)
Phantom 4 Series 160W Battery Charger (PH4C160)
Phantom 4 Car Charger (C6S90)
Phantom 3 Professional Battery Charger (ADE019)
Phantom 3 Car Charger (C4S90)
*Phantom 3 57W Battery Charger (A14-057N1A)
*Osmo 57W Battery Charger (A14-057N1A)

or

if your computerized charger is able to supply 17.3V to 26.2 V (4.5A) just plug it in the socket on the side of the charger which came with the CS.

You need a simple DC source with the specified Volts and Amps as given in post #2.
The CS battery dock is a charger itself.

As long as your charger is not providing those correct inputs to the CS battery dock, it will not work.
IMHO, get one of the chargers DJI I listed in post #2, keep it simple.

.. and while you are out shopping, don't forget to get a mounting system for your CS which fits your RC.

After reading a lot here I ended up using an old Dell Laptop power supply/charger. This has a 7.4mm plug (the right size), output 19.5v DC 9.23 Amps which suits the battery charger dock.

I had to cut and resplice the Dell cable as the Dell plug wiring is Outside = earth (Good), Inside = Positive, pin = sensor. The charger receptacle dock is outside = earth, inside = no function and pin = positive.

I simply cut and respliced the Dell cable changing the positive wire from the power supply to the pin wire.

Works champion and was basically free.

Haha, nice post but too late for me. I have purchased a Mavic 2 PSU +Adapter lead. The irony is that I have got a cupboard full of Dell power supplies... :)
