In anticipation of the price increase (Hey I needed an excuse and my Spark went back to dji for eye surgery) I took the opportunity to upgrade to Mavic Pro, due to arrive Thursday. The package contains "Mavic Pro Quadcopter - Remote Controller - 3 Intelligent Flight Batteries - 5 x 8330 Folding Propellers - Gimbal Clamp - Charger - AC Power Cable - 16GB microSD Card - Micro-USB Cable - RC Cable with Lightning Connector - RC Cable with Micro-USB Connector - 2 RC Cable Slider - Charging Hub - Mavic Shoulder Bag - 32 GB Card - Landing Gear Stabilzers - Memory Card Reader - Cleaning Cloth".
My cell phone is a Samsung S8 with USB type C connector. As I understand the Mavic won't connect to the mobile device via WiFi like a Spark. The included accessories for the Mavic doesn't mention OTG cable which I have for My Spark. (not sure, but I suspect OTG is analogous to a crossover Ethernet cable where the inputs at one end go to the outputs at the other?). My question is can the USB-C cable I use to connect the Spark controller to my phone be used to connect the Mavic controller to my phone or should I use a straight USB to USB-C cable?
