I've successfully operated my Mavic Air 2 with an iPad but the supplied RC/Lightning cable isn't long enough to mount the iPad to the remote control with a Polarpro Flightdeck.  I have a 10" USB/Lightning cable for the Flightdeck which appears to be useless for the extension I need.  I've spent hours searching the web for a minimum 10" RC/Lightning cable and can't find anything.  I'd love it if I am completely missing something and the ability to make an extended connection between RC and iPad is possible with the cables I already have, but if the solution is right in front of me I'm not seeing it.  Short version - What is the best way to connect Mavic Air 2 remote control to an iPad mounted on Polarpro Flightdeck and where can I find the required cables to make it happen?

It’s just a USB C to Lightning cable.

There are less expensive options but this cable is exceptionally sturdy.

Hi there, the Remote Controller doesn't support tablets at the moment, the tablet holder of Mavic Air 2 will be available later. Please keep up with updates in the DJI store.

Yeah that’s not what he asked though.

He’s got a tablet holder he just needs a cord long enough to use it.

I ordered the OEM usb-c to lightning upon recommendation from another ipad user. It is a little long( 1m) but i can manage that. I havent received it yet but it wasn't that expensive.

Hi. I'm using the 12 inch cable (link below) I purchased at Amazon - works great:

The linked Monoprice cable is a USB-A  to lightning

If you want Monoprice, one of these:
