Did you purchase a custom cable and not a genuine DJI cable?, my reply was really about it being a genuine OEM DJI cable for a few more bucks as I don't understand that when you can use a genuine OEM cable then why purchase a slightly cheaper 3rd party cable. You may save a couple of bucks on the cable but your Mavic & iPad setup with extra batteries and accessories has probably cost you nearly $2K, as I mentioned I personally would only buy genuine OEM products when possible and that goes for anything I purchase and with DJI's current BOGOF deal then you get 2 genuine OEM cables for the price of 1. Very nice MG by the way, I live in Australia but I am from Scotland so love to see a nice British car as I very rarely see an MG over here in Oz
