if you go on the argos site and type in apple cables you should see one for the ipad at about a foot in length it is quite expensive for what it is and it is a genuine apple lead

Great find, shame the 20cm one is unavailable the 50cm one is though ?

Ebay. One foot long for about £12, but postage from US is around £12 and delivery is round 4 weeks, but in my experience is more like 10 days. There's one seller in UK at £15 with free Post and 48hr delivery. Hope this helps.

Why not just fold the cable on itself and tape it To whatever length you need.

I bought this cable in NZ to fit an iphone 11 Pro that I wanted to keep in its Lifeforce Rugged protection case. It is 0.3m (1 ft.) long and perfect for an Apple fit. The DJI cable has a 90-degree bend at the lightning plug and will not fit the iphone with an external case. This new cable has a straight through design. It also still fits inside the RC chamber.

I recently had a mail order arrive okay from the UK, so deliveries seem to be working still.

i found this on Amazon in the UK - 1 Foot long USB C to Lightning Cable

Hope this helps....it said it was available immediately and would be delivered in 1 day (I think)

Thanks for all the suggestions much appreciated ,my mount arrived today from amazon but it seemed to heavy and not secure in the mavic air 2 remote.
so sent it back ,not sure mount to use now was looking at the pygtech but none in stock in the uk.i think i will need to wait until i can find a good ipad mini gen 5 mount then decide exactly what cable i will need.this is the mount i send back today ,very nicely built but not a good enough fit in the controller.
