You need to be sure, what his device needs for a connector!

the frustrating think is i actually have the cable he needs but i do not know the correct terminology  for it.every time i do a search i simply come up with the wrong ones for what he needs. when i bought mine i was following a discussion on this forum and just picked one of the links, that was not long after the spark came out and there was a big song and dance about it was better to have an OTG cable for it.

Hi, Thanks for the inquiry. I would like to ask what type of drone is he/she using because your thread is under Spark and if your friend is using a DJI Spark, sorry that the OTG cable is not yet optimized for Apple devices as of the moment. Please keep us posted on the latest progress. Thank you for the support.

If you read all the offers for USB cable for flying a Mavic or a Spark, there is no option on the RCs side.
So just decide what the device needs, look at the original charging cable or tab in "device model" and "specs" in google, and get one otg cable for Mavic/Spark to the devices connector.

Hi, Thanks for the clarification. If your friend is trying to use the USB port underneath of the RC of the Mavic Air then he/she could use the cable that he/she used to charge the mini iPad.
