Soooo the cord for remote to iPad is far too short. Any solutions?!

I bought this from Amazon, perfect!
Toways Lightning Sync and Charge Cable 0.15m Unique 90 Degree Plug Nylon Braided USB iPhone Charger for iPhone 7 Plus 7 6S Plus 6 Plus SE 5S 5C 5, iPad 2 3 4 Mini, iPad Pro Air, iPod - Gray (Apple MFi Certified)

Short term plug your charge cable in the USB port on bottom of controller and use that on iPad, but there are several video's on youtube that share what cords they bought on amazon to find something with appropriate length.  I assume your using an iPad mini that fits in the controller.  

I find this one to be good.

I actually ordered an iPad holder that holds my full iPad.

Thanks guys

I did notice everyone is suggesting to use USB and I was using the mini plug on the side of the controller

about using iPad mini, do you need to have cellular connection to it? my iphine 6s+ battery drain too quick and want to use my no-sim iPad mini 2.
