I bought a Spark Fly More Combo and want to use otg not wifi.

I've watched several YouTube video but I don't understand what cables I need to buy to fly otg with my Samsung Galaxy S7.

Would someone please post the links to the right cables on Amazon?

I'm going to Taiwan and Japan in about a week and need to get this otg working with my Android phone.

Thanks.
 
It's a bit hit and miss as some cables work and some don't as they don't transfer data, DJI actually state that OTG is an unsupported function on the Spark.

Something like this might work, in combination with a normal usb cable but I haven't tried it, in total a 1ft cable length is a good length
Amazon.com: CableCreation [2-PACK] Micro USB 2.0 OTG Cable Braided On The Go Adapter Micro USB Male to USB Female for Samsung or other Smart Phones with OTG Function, 6 Inch/ Space Gray Aluminium: Computers & Accessories

or this without an adaptor cable where it's micro usb to micro usb

Amazon.com: Meenova Mobility Cable: MicroUSB-to-MicroUSB OTG, for Samsung Galaxy S6/S5/S4/S3, Note 5/4/3/2, HTC One, Motorola X/Droid, Windows Tablet, more; 1ft black: Cell Phones & Accessories

You'll also notice the micro usb port in the controller is not a normal shaped micro and is a bit looser than normal, this also doesn't inspire too much confidence in the OTG connection

I got this one http://a.co/9lWxmXh it's labeled host on the end that has to go into the RC it has 2 micro usb ends. I use it with these tips http://a.co/9Xu8FSl for usb-c to my nexus 6p. Works every time. The key is to enable usb debugging and then plug in the cable to the rc last after turning off wifi and connecting to phone.
