I am looking to use my ipad mini with Mavic Air controller can I use my Apple charging cable to conect to controller? or do I need a special cable?

Thanks!
 
If it is the cable that came with your Apple device, then yes, you can use it, but it may be longer than you need. You can get a shorter cable from Amazon. Just make sure it's a data cable, (like what came with your device) and not just a charging cable.
 
You can find some other shorter Lightning cables here.

Just a note from a newbie. Whilst 'testing' the iPad setup I couldn't get it to work. Found out that the side cable (micro USB) must be unplugged, even if it's not connected to anything, for the USB A port to work on the bottom of the controller.
