USB-C slider ring

[Brian Fist]

Hey guys, I have two almost new drones (a Mavic 2 Pro and a Mavic Air) and neither one came with the proper cables or sliders for USB-C connections. I have a number of sliders for the lightening/micro-USB connectors, but those do me no good...

I ended up ordering a set of cables and they did not include the sliders either, so I acquired one of the two cables I needed. I also picked up an Mavic Mini remote locally (he lost the drone), and he included all three cables (so I have the other USB-C cable I need for the Air), but again, no sliders. It even looks like DJI doesn't include the sliders at all with the Mavic Mini setup.

Now, I wanted the Mavic Mini controller to be able to use it with the DJI simulator on the PC, so everything is great there.

But, I still do not have sliders for the two controllers to use with the USB-C connectors.

Now, I have used a buddies controller, and I find the slider to be a great solution if you are using a cellphone that fits the controller, and I have tried a zip-tie cut down and it tends to fall out and get ****-eyed in the slide.

Does anyone know a source for the USB-C sliders??? A part number??? I just need two of them.

I have older phones that are no longer in use that I use as backup devices for the drones, all of which have USB-C connectors.

Thanks

I found the sliders more trouble than they are worth

Thanks for that, but as I already mentioned, I much prefer the sliders over not having them at all.

Could you make one from thick 'sheet 'plastic or perhaps aluminium? It would need careful filing but should be possible

Thanks

Have you inquired at the source...have you contacted DJI Proper?

Try a search for “Genuine short cable for DJI Mavic Pro / 2 Zoom USB C wire Connector Controller ” on eBay – I found some with the slider included.

Umm, yeah, $20 + $28 shipping... Not even worth looking into... Plus no mention of the slider in the description.

I shot a e-mail off to DJI, we will see what they say.

I've thought about putting a piece of tape of the outside of that arm. I think my first Spark came with several.
