Magnetic USB Cable - Great for Tuning

I just did a quick short on the magnetic usb cable. This has been such a life saver for me especially since I tune out in the field. Having bluetooth is the best but if you don't this is a good alternative.

Nice quick demo, those things are useful for sure, helped me to get connected to a buddies cinewhoop that would have otherwise been impossible to get a regular cable to plug into (I have similar one but without the hinging just baked in 90degree on the tip of it so can slide into tight spaces). Only downside I've heard is the little magnetic parts can pick up dust and/or corrode over time and so can start to get crappier connection if using them long term (and not good for charging things really since relatively high resistance connection), but still clutch for when you just need a data cable to connect.

Thanks. I know the dirt thing is a pain especially with sand. It truly is a life saver out in the field when I do my tuning. Some guy mentioned that they actually fail safed when they had this setup. I wasn't sure if they used crossfire or FrSky. Honestly, I do some long range with my quad and have never had anything close to a failsafe. I've done 1.5 miles and my LQ was still good. Anyways, sometimes we end up getting only part of the story.
