Remote Extension Cable for NEW Mavic Air 2, to connect to iPad Mini 5 (Lightning)

snapdog · May 14, 2020

Does anyone know what type of extension cable will fit the new Mavic Air 2? I was hoping my extension cable from my Mini would fit, but it does not. I've seen a couple of ads for them but no one has them in stock that I could find. Would anyone who's using a tablet have any suggestions? Excited to fly the shiny new bird soon! Thanks!

Not cheap, but works.

I ordered this one to fit my iPad Mini 2 on a tablet holder.

USB C to Lightning Cable (1 ft), Anker Powerline III

The cable has arrived, but unfortunately I am still waiting for my "Pre-Ordered" MA2 order to ship, so I am at this point just hoping it will work.

They're out, looking to find one in stock, or of similar functionality? Looking to fly soon!

I went with this cable which is slightly cheaper than the pgytech: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...itle_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=mavicpilots-20

Ideally you'll want a lightning cable with a 90 degree connection.

I got these because it's a set of 2 for the price of 1. Having a backup never hurts.

I bought this same cable and it works great. I searched about an hour and it seems like no-one has made a 1' USB-C to Lighting with a 90 degree connection. The shortest one I have found is the PGYTECH at 25 1/2".
