I just bought a Spark and have been trying to use OTG.  I've been doing some research on the Spark remote and saw that the connector is not Micro B but actually Micro A. While my Micro B works it's loose and I loose signal. From my research by spec OTG is suppose to have Micro A but Chinese makers "repinned" for Micro B and started selling as OTG.

So has anyone found an cable for OTG with Micro A to USB A 2.0?

Thanks.  Have you used this cable?  If so how long is it? I eventually want to get a mount and an iPad Mini.

I have one "like this", not sure it is the same brand, in USB C
Also I have one of these, in micro B

For the length, up2 15cm is for my droids ok for the RC-holder
As the I-pad mini should somehow fit the RC, ....
But the above link shows also the 30 cm/1feet cables
If to long, loop it.
If to short, ....

So I want to make sure I understand. Your cable end for the remote is a Micro USB A/B (not Micro USB B like most OTG cables)  and the other end is phone or tablet specific (Lightening, Micro B or USB C).  Right?

I can't guarantee that for every offer on ebay! ;-)
But even if it would be only micro B to micro B/lightning/USB C, with a 90° plug is a lot less force on the jack.
Mine looking like this (bad picture!)

Great pic.  Tells me just what I needed to know. That's is Micro B. Wondering if it was my OTG cable so I checked using the micro b cable that came with the drone. Same fit result. It locks in ok, but there's "wiggle" room right to left because it's micro USB B going into Micro A/B. My issue could be my cable..guess I'll get a new one and try. I would like to know if others have the same right to left wiggle.

Disregard my last post. I looked at the wrong end, doh. That for sure is A/B to Micro B. Perfect. I'll be getting one. Thanks for the pic.  Just what I needed.

I told you, bad picture!
But yes, the one side is micro A for RC, the other micro B for phone.

Hi, sorry for the troubles that it caused, I would like to ask what phone are you going to us? did you try to use a standard OTG cable?

I'm not sure I'm having trouble.  Just trying to verify that the proper OTG with Micro A/B on the remote end.
