New Flymore set missing the micro usb connector needed for my android phone.

[softdown]

It was an "open box" that saved me some money. All looked new but I can not find a needed micro usb connector. Found two others - one for iPhone and one for Type C (believe it is called) that looks pretty similar to micro usb connector.

Turns out there are a rather confusing array of connectors and gibberish and complaints about connectors being too short etc. Plus none mention the Mavic Mini but I think it uses the same controller as others.

EDIT: Turns out box says "Made for iPhone". Does that mean I will have other troubles aside from the proper connector? Amazon ad says nothing about iPhone vs Android.
I know most flyers use an iPhone or iPad but the Samsung Galaxy Edge 7 is listed as compatible.

Do I just need to buy a micro usb connector and a fast memory card? Thanks in advance for good help.

Can’t help on the connector, but the “ made for iPhone” is just an Apple approval stamp meaning it will work with an iPhone.
So not to worry on that count.

Goes on to say: "Mac Works with iMovie and Final Cut Pro X". Disconcerting for us Android and Windows peasants.

Plus the Amazon images show three different connection cables. I got two. Buying "Open Box" is often a crap shoot. But I saved $60 and will spend ~ $10 with luck. The aggravation though?

One thing I learned - don't buy high tech "Open Box" from a vendor in China unless you are highly tech savvy. Another story for another day.

Plus ...

It will work with any editing program available on most platforms, including the ones listed (required by Apple) on the box. So don’t worry about that or having to learn a new editing app. Ultimately it’s just an mpg.

Editing is something I used to do plenty when I combined some video with my photography. But that was the old XP days so I will likely have to get new editing software. Been well over a decade now. I'll hopefully cross that bridge soon enough. There are certainly a few things to learn and do on the road to Jedi Drone Master XVIII.

You'll need an OTG type cable; a standard USB cable won't work because it won't allow your phone to act as a USB host for the controller. B&H Photo has them in stock.

If you’re talking about the short black cables that comes in the mavic product packages, I have too many that I don’t need. If you have a picture of the type your looking for so I can be sure, I can send you one.
LMK.

RogerDH provided this useful link providing the needed cable: It is the micro usb connector type; DJI RC Cable for Mavic Controller (Standard Micro-USB)

Track number in your pm box.
Sent an extra one in case you find someone else that needs one.

Wow- thank you so much! Do you want my Apple and C type connectors?

Nope. I have too many of those to.

I'm really remote and deal with washboard roads. Go to post office every two weeks. Have snapped a truck axle on these roads. Also very windy and I hate strong winds. Still have a Red Flag weather warning going. No use in crashing the drone on first flight?
