Hi everyone, I have a iphone 6s plus with a Lifeproof case. With the case on, I'm unable to connect the genuine DJI lightning cable. So I purchased a genuine Apple lightning to USB  adapter, and a Micro USB to USB cable to connect my iPhone 6s Plus to my DJI Mavic Mini remote controller. When I connect both those after market cables, it looks like my remote is blinking all 4 LED's, like it's on charge. And I get an error message "RC not conected". However when I connect my genuine DJI lightning cable to my phone, after I remove the Lifeproof case, I have all functionality. I don't want to keep on removing my casing as it may break. Which is why I'm trying to connect these 2 aftermarket cables. Any suggestions or ideas as to why my phone and RC not connecting? Thanks for your time.

I think that you need an OTG adapter ( ligthning to USB) to transfer files.

Thank you. I did purchase a genuine lightning to USB cable.

Here is the USB-C to Micro USB cable that I am using for my Mini and Android:

Sorry, I mis-read your post (or remembered a different thread).  Did not realize it was a lightning cable that you needed.  


Turns out that I had replied to a different thread that was asking about android cables.  When I saw this thread, I thought it was that other thread and that my post over there had not actually gotten posted.  Sorry about that...

No worries my friend. And thank you for the reply. Hope you find a good cable for yourself as well. I think what my issues is, that the micro USB cable I have a is a male and the lightning cable is a female. I believe it should be the other way around; micro USB cable female and lightning cable male.

I ordered a couple of cables from DJI. Hope fully that should solve my issue. Thanks again.

I think the problem is with your micro USB-to-USB cable. It needs to be an OTG type if I am not mistaken. Micro USB is a bit picky. Is that just an extension cable?

Yes I think so too. I think what my issues is, that the micro USB cable I have a is a male and the lightning cable is a female. I believe it should be the other way around; micro USB cable female and lightning cable male.

Hi DJI Stephen, thank you for your advice and recommendations. I wish there was a lightning adapter for the Lifeproof case. And then there wouldn't be any issues.

I’m not familiar with the Lifeproof case but I had some problems finding a cable that would work with my iPhone and iPad, both in Otterbox Defender cases. I use this one:

They apparently ship worldwide.
