Hi Guys as you can see I am a nube to this forum and drones for that matter.
I just got a new Mavic Pro for Xmas and I am currently purchasing all the other accessories that go with owning a new drone (it doesn't stop at just the drone, does it)

anyway I have been searching high and low trying to find a suitable cable for attaching my Mavic controller to my newly acquired iPad
Mini 4 when I stumbled across the actual DJI branded cable that is used for the Phantoms, Inspires etc. it looks well built and is only 260mm long and will certainly be licensed by Apple so should also be forwards compatible.
It gets better, the official DJI website are currently (at time of doing this post) doing a

BOGOF

(Buy One Get One Free) which is awesome. I have just purchased 1 for $29 AUD as I live in Australia which is around $22 to $23 USD and my order confirms that I have another cable included with my order @ $0 (that is zero $$$ in AUD & USD

). Even if DJI were not doing the BOGOF I would still definitely only buy this genuine cable that way I should hopefully have no issues with connectivity etc. and don't have to worry about the lightning end coming off in my tablets connection port like some of these other cables do and I won't mention any specific brand but Amazons reviews speak for themselves.
I don't know if you guys already knew that this cable existed but I just thought I would share my find as a nube as I have spent ages trying to make a decision on what cable to buy but once I found the DJI cable it was a no brainer for me and I hope this helps others make a decision on what cable to buy for connecting the iPad Mini to the Mavic controller.
