Hello,
Had my Mavic Pro for a week now and have just done a couple of test flights. I recently upgraded my phone to a Samsung S9+... which is big and fragile, so lives in a ptotective shell case. My question is this... Is there a longer Micros/usb-usb C cable available from dji that will allow me to use this phone without the hassle of breaking it out of its protective case every time?
Has any one else come up with a solution, other than getting a short usb C female to usb C male extension cable?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi, Sweepickit. Congratulations on your brand new drone and mobile phone. So lucky of you! Unfortunately, we do not have a longer Type C of Micro USB cable. But, I can forward this concern to our Engineers so that they will be aware that you are one of the customers that is requesting for a longer cable for Type-C Micro USB.

Suren, I now hold you entirely responsible for the future hole in my wallet... one quick search of Mavic- USB C cables has now introduced me to Mavmounts and other mounting systems which I never new existed... but do look to be the ideal solution to a larger phone and case mounting. For the solution I thank you, and for the lighter wallet....

I now have a MavMount... amazing bit of kit... my phone (Samsung S9+ including full protection case) fits brilliantly... a couple of flyers who hadn't seen it before were every impressed!

How are you coping with the soft buttons on the s9+? They are under the drone controls on the same side. Imagine you need to act quickly and you touch this region and the go4 vanishes off the screen. I have this model phone and it is an absalute curse for drone use. Wonderful phone otherwise, though.

It can be a bit of a pain... especially when coming off intelligent flight modes... I have a link to the go4 on my home screen so revert back to it quickly... that said in an emergency... lets hope the buttons don't interfere!
