You not got one lying around the house? Maybe a charging cable for your pc mouse? Or similar :thinking:

Any ‘andorid’ charger will do

It will be well worth your while grabbing some of the downloads from the DJI MavicPro page

Then you can power up your controller then the aircraft - with the propellers off - and check things out while the Mavic is on the kitchen table.

Once that is done and you have RTFM stick the props on and have a quick play in the garden :slight_smile:

That’s the RC charge cable … in the side port … careful to get it up the correct way! :+1: (It will (without much effort) go in the incorrect way up - and can damage to connector in the RC.)

Any USB A port with power will do … even laptop USB will work fine … although, depending on spec, the charge rate might be a tad slower.

Yeah that’s all good thanks. It’s just the main battery no lights. Time will tell.

On the battery charger there is a USB out, just see if it will charge the controller, just to tick another box

As per previous replies. Be VERY VERY careful to get the charge cable in the right way up on the side USB connector. I painted a white dot on my cable connector to show me which way up to put the connector in, until I got a magnetic connector which lives permanently in the controller connection point. It’s unbelievably easy to snap off the little ‘tongue’ located inside the USB controller. I exclusively use the large main USB port for connecting phone or tablet to the controller rather than the side connector. Worthy of note is that if you plug a cable to the side USB then it turns off the main USB. So if you connect a phone or tablet via the main USB and it doesn’t work, check to see you have t still got the short cable still plugged into the side.

Ok so the charger is working.

Leave it a little while and see if you get any lights at all.

I’m guessing theres not enough zip in it to even start the MP?
