Parrot Skycontroller 2 Cable Modification

This is a tiny modification that can save connection problems resulting from SC2 USB connector fatigue and damage. It's not much of a modification..but it can help prevent stress to the SC2's USB port from repeat cable insertions.

The idea is to leave this cable installed permanently. It involves using a stabilizer to further position the cable preventing stress to the USB port. For this task..I chose an age-old DIY material..a humble LEGO element (#15712..available here) to hold and stabilize the cable. Hot-glued to the device mount bracket, it works perfectly. The awesome thing about LEGO elements is that they are plentiful and come in many shapes. Several different clips could be used here..this isn't the only clip they produce. The clip size is universal in LEGO choices..and the fit is perfect for cables.

The cable is a Nylon Braided Right-Angle USB-C stiff 10-Inch beauty, available on Amazon. Warning..it has a specific USB-C type connector for newer phones & tablets. This seller offers them in 2-packs for a great price. It's almost like it was made for the SC2. Get it HERE!

I feel this is at least one good way to keep the Skycontroller 2's USB port healthy. Try it!

FPV Version Coming Soon!
