Hi, I'm completely new to drones and have a Mavic Pro coming in the mail, so I want to get some answers to prepare everything and be able to fly ASAP.
I bought it used, and it didn't come with the AC cable for the charger, so I figured I'd go all out and buy the Phantom 4 charger+AC cable along with the Advanced Charging Hub to get the quickest charge times.


1. Is there a difference between these two cables?

2. Can the AC cable for the Phantom 4 be used with the standard charger that came with the Mavic Pro found here? https://store.dji.com/product/ma ... t-v2&position=1

3. If the answer to question 2 is yes, is it safe to charge the controller and battery through the Mavic Pro charger while using the AC cable for the Phantom 4?

4. I was looking at the RC cables to connect my phone (micro USB) to the remote but was confused about the reverse micro USB cable. I understand what it does, but without physically holding it I couldn't find out if I needed the reverse type or the standard type. Here is an image showing the USB port of my phone's model (screen side is facing up)



Based on that image, and assuming the port will be facing the left side of the controller, which type of RC cable will I need? Standard or reverse?

Thanks for all the help!

Hi, Nellis. Thank you for your raising up your concerns/inquiries. I am very much willing to assist you.   
For your first question:  These two cables are differ when it comes to specs. The Phantom 4 Series AC cable specs are, Voltage: 17.4 V and Rated Power: 100 W. While the Mavic Pro AC cable specs are, Voltage: 13.05 V and Rated Power: 50 W.  

You may refer to these following link:

https://www.dji.com/mavic/info#specs  

For your second question:   It is not advisable to use the AC cable for the Phantom 4 Series with the standard charger that came with Mavic Pro. As you can see on the above information that they have different specs. The Phantom 4 Series AC cable is only used to Phantom 4 charger/adapter. While the Mavic Pro AC cable can be used with Mavic battery charger and Inspire 1.  

Lastly, may I know the exact mobile phone that you are using so that I can further check on it.  Thank you.

Thank you for your response. Based on the links you showed me, I do see that the chargers have different specs, but based on the cable pages, they both show they are 100W, which seems like they are the same... If, afterall, it's unsafe to use the Phantom 4 AC cable with the Mavic Pro charger, how should I charge my controller?
The phone I'm using is a Moto G5 Plus.

Thanks again for the help!
