USB C to USB C Lead

[PeteTheJack]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a USB C lead about a meter long that will engage with the socket that connects to the phone/tablet.

I had one from Amazon yesterday but it didn't do the job unless I held it and pushed it hard into the socket.

On YouTube, one of the "Tubers" is "Drone Valley" They have lots of good videos and a Store... One of their products is an 18" C to C, that has the 90 degree connections so the cable is not hanging out waiting to get caught on something... Don't know why you would need a meter of cable... Whether you buy there or else where, be sure it is a Charge/Data Cable, not just a charge cable... Also, cheap cables use smaller wires and cheaper connectors...

In terms of length, the 1 meter cable can be useful for mounting a tablet away from the controller or using VR goggles. Some folks fly from inside their cars/trucks and put a tablet (or phone) on their dashboards where they can keep the controller down further and still comfortably look at the viewing device.

I should have included it's for a VR DroneMask.

Thanks for all the input. I ordered a different lead from Amazon, which was in identical packaging, and it engages positively with the controller. The only difference I can see is, the plug on the new red lead is a quarter of a mm longer than the one on the black lead that doesn't work.
