What lightning cord do you use?

[WV. Rootman]

They always seem to be a problem. They of course wear out and break. Most are too long for the remote to mobile. I bought 12 inch ones online, but they get a little too tight for my I Pad Air and break. Sometimes a problem comes up and you find out it is the lighting cord. I think I found a good compromise on length and keeping the stress off the connectors. I saw this at Walmart in the clearance section for $4 US. I have seen them many other stores, but it just clicked on me for mobile to remote use. It's always the right length. If the lighting cord does go bad, you can replace the cord and still use the retractor.

I have lots of cables, but the 12" Cambond Lightning cable is still my favorite.

I prefer the right angle end:

I've used that one for over a year now on my Mavic Tx to iPad 2017. Works great and had over 50 hours of use with no signs of wear & tear. I'm pretty hard on cords/cables and the ones I'm buying these days all have the Right Angle mentioned above. Huge stress relief.

Nothing says professional quite like a cable that is JUST the right length. I use this, too.
