Phone case and cable plug

[Simone L]

Hi. I read the thread about removing the rubber grips so I can use my iPhone X in the LifeProof case. Problem is the cord won’t fit as the case blocks it from plugging in. Is there a fix? The thought of removing my phone every time makes me cuckoo.

Try using a different cable . One that has a usb for the bottom of the controller.

Or just get a longer cable that connects as you need.

I use a Lifeproof cover on the iphone 6 too, and it's one reason I bought an ipad mini 4
Lots of other great reasons to do this too, better flight experience, more telemetry / useful gadgets show on screen, good for less eye strain and better in daylight.

Welcome to Mavic Pilots! Enjoy the forum!
Just a thought here. I have a 11 Pro Max and it is even larger than the X.
I have to plug the phone in first, then guide the cable thru the clamp, secure the phone in the controller, then plug in to the side. It should be long enough to reach. And that is with the Otter case. Give it a try.

I have an iPad so might use that and order the adapter to hold it. Thanks.

I have an OtterBox on my iPhone X

I picked up a cable from Drone Valley that works well.

Great idea Simone L, the ipad holders are reasonably priced.
Just double check the compatibility of the device model to ensure it's all ok to run Go4 (or Fly if your drone is a Mini ?).

The USB-c to lighting cable that comes with the mini 2 with the right angle wil not fit my iphone with the case on it.

Can i replace it with any USB-C to lighting cable? A cable with a stright plug should work.

Thanks in advance!
