Found a new cable for iPad/iPhone to controller

[Hauptmann]

Can't go wrong with Anker! Quality gear with great customer service. I ended up switching all my cables over to the Powerline+.
The only cable that has never left me stranded. [emoji1360]

True, but Anker doesn't list a right-angle lightning connector

 

[Hauptmann]

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 the first batch is being manufactured right now. Fingers crossed.

I'd be in the market for at least 2. Keep us posted!

I use one sold by Drone Valley, correct length for my iPad Mini 4 and works perfectly.
DJI Mavic Pro - Custom Data Cable (30cm) - For Apple Devices

I bought one of these cables and it failed after 3 flights (right angle lightning connector broke in two)

If you want a quality cable that's Apple certified, I sell these 11.5" right-angle Griffin cables.





This cable is long to use a tablet and also perfect if you're using a cell phone since it can be tucked inside of the remote controller arm (so it doesn't contact your hand as you're holding the remote controller).

Pardon my ignorance to all of this, but can't you just use the regular Apple lightning to USB that comes with your iPad?

 

[msinger]

It's a bit long, but it'll work.

Pardon my ignorance to all of this, but can't you just use the regular Apple lightning to USB that comes with your iPad?

Sure, if you don't mind having a fairly delicate 3-foot cable hanging down from your controller.

I prefer more robust 12-inch cables that stay out of the way.

These were available at RadioShack under a different name. Take the cable out of the key chain and it is my favorite out of no telling how many I tried. I use an iPad mini 4 and it is the exact size it needs to be.

 

[mstevens]

Why not just get the DJI cable? All the angles and lengths are just right.

Not for an IPad Mini 4 it isn't. Not the way mine is set up anyway. The 90 on BOTH ends makes a big difference as well.
