USB port on side of drone

fxvet · Apr 25, 2019

I just bought a used Mavic 2 Pro off of ebay and it did not come with all the cables and adapters. What cable do I need to use the port on the side of the drone so that I can connect to PC for DJI Assistant? The manual claims it to be a USB C port but it's obviously not that. Is it actually a micro usb port? I don't want to harm my Mavic. Thanks for your help.

It is indeed USB-C. The only component that is micro-usb is the side port on the remote.

No, it's a USB Type-C port.

Its a USB-C port, and you can use any USB-C cable to connect. I use the cable that came with my S9+ to connect.

I wish they would use USB-C on the controller instead of MicroUSB. It would reduce the amount of broken controller boards.

Well, I don't know how to explain it, but mine looks different than above. What the heck?

Errr that's a Mavic 1 not a Mavic 2. On the Mavic 1 it is a micro-USB.

If you were sold it as a Mavic 2 you need to get in touch with your ebay seller soonish...

You have a "Mavic Pro" and not a "Mavic 2 Pro".

Well dammit! Just checked the listing on Ebay it was posted at "DJI Mavic Pro 2 spare batteries".
I'm an idiot.

You are not an idiot. The seller should have used a comma or parenthesis after "DJI mavic pro"

Correct that is not a mp2

I hope you paid good price for it comparable to it's version, and don't be upset... The Magic Pro is still an amazing machine and I am sure you will enjoy it.

That seems like an intentionally misleading add and unless the price was too good to be true seems like fraud to me but I don't know how the rest of the add read.

There is no such thing as a Mavic Pro 2. It’s a Mavic 2 Pro.

Seller probably meant DJI Mavic Pro w/2 spare batteries

Seller likely meant to be confusing in order to sell at a higher price. Color me jaded.

BTW, really appreciate the photo of the port as I wasn't certain how the cover came off and didn't want to damage anything on my first down load of photos. Thanks, msinger!!!!
