I have a new iPad mini that works great with the Mavic Pro and Spark (using OTG cable), but the DJI Fly app won't recognize that I'm plugged into the Mavic Mini controller (using OTG cable).  It works fine with the (too short) cable that was provided.  Is anyone else having this issue?  I was thinking bad OTG cable, but as I said, it works fine with the Spark controller and the DJI Go 4 app.There is no indication it is plugged in at all.  (no power going to ipad mini, no connection sound, etc)  I've tried unplugging and plugging in both ends in various order.

Any suggestions?

Hi. Thank you for reaching out to DJI Forum. With regards to the iPad Mini. Upon checking the said mobile device is not listed on the DJI compatible mobile device list as of now. Rest assured that our DJI R&D are continuously testing multiple mobile devices to be added on the list in the future. In addition, I will be posting a link ( https://www.dji.com/dji-fly ) for DJI compatible device list. Thank you.

Thanks, Bob.  I tried a couple other cables that my buddy had today, and they worked.  I have no idea why that one cable I have works for the spark and not the mini, but I'll just have to let it go

It's simple, OTG cables are not suitable.
Need a special cable, which is easy enough to buy.
