RC Cables

[Odde]

Hi everyone! I want to connect a tablet from a tablet holder and I need a slighter longer RC cable than the one provided... I bought a couple of third party DJI compatible cables on amazon but none of the two works...
Is anybody using other RC cables than those in the box? TIA

I bought a micro to A OTG adapter so I can use any cable for the tablets.
UGREEN Micro USB to USB, Micro... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N9S9Z0G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It works great.

It works great.

The MM controller does not use the large connector. It’s micro to micro.

I had the same experience. I’ve bought two cables from Amazon. One of them worked once but the tablet doesn’t see the controller. I’ve even done the Developer mode thing and USB, but nothing. I don’t know why the cable didn’t work, then it did work the next day, and now it doesn’t work. I would like to use my Samsung tablet rather than my iPad Mini, but I need a good cable.

Regardless of where you buy it, get a short cable with a right angle connector for the tablet.

Right, that's why I bought the OTG adapter.
It provides the large A socket like the other remotes, all from the micro socket. Then you can use USB cables you already have, perhaps from your other Mavics.
If the cable is not wired correctly, the micro port will be in B mode. It needs to be in A mode which is accomplished by grounding the sense/id pin 4.

Some cables have data capabilities, some only support power. You need to read the copy closely to ensure the cables you buy are data - capable.
