I use the controller..

cool, if you look at many of the spark video montages on YouTube you’ll notice that lots of them are made up of lots of clips which are just seconds long.. sometimes I’ll fly my drone up, hold it there to take a few seconds of footage and then bring it down (Waves crashing for instance). On the...

I recently changed from an iPhone to a Samsung galaxy S10e and immediately noticed signal connection problems from RC to Spark. I concluded that the only hardware to have changed is the phone so i took it out to a secluded place and tried to fly it as far as it’ll go.. 30m signal went down to 2...

I had/have a similar issue.. My signal seems to show 1 bar as soon as it gets 40-50m away then goes red at about 60-70m but I have tested it and it seems to go on in that visual state until 200m before it loses connection.. I can only conclude that the signal readout is not reflective of actual...

Hi, I’ve flown my Spark in the Lake District. There are parts where you won’t see a soul for hours so flying it wont bother anyone.. stay away from built up areas, keep the drone close and in sight. I tend to do short flights (1-2 mins) then edit them together at home.

I use a 64gb Sandisk Extreme Plus, specifically designed for action cams and drones.

When connecting the Samsung S10 to the RC with an OTG it now seems to be working better - no picture lag or pixelation. Having tested this earlier in the week it seems I’m still seeing just one bar on the WiFi (rc to spark) most of the time but this doesn’t stop the drone flying 4-500m in 2.4g...

Hey, Recently I have been having some issues with WiFi range from RC to Spark. I can’t fly it 35-40 meters now without the Spark disconnecting from the RC! I haven’t flown the Spark in at least 3 months, took it up to the Peak District, I was on moorlands in the middle of nowhere with no...

I’m wondering how easy it would be to fly it in that area, it all seemed very controlled when I was there.. paid my $75, bussed in, guards stopped us from getting too close to the edges, lots and lots of people taking selfies and photos! I’ve only ever visited the GC for a vacation, I’m sure...

In the UK from 13th March they are introducing a range of Drone legislation including a no-fly zone within 5 miles of an airport (up from 1 mile).

You can manually switch between channels in the WiFi settings on the app. 2.4Ghz is the lower end of the channels (1-13 in Europe) and 5,8Ghz is the higher channels (50+). The height of the bars is noise and interference so you will want to pick the smallest bar. Normally 5.8Ghz is more stable...

HAHA it has lots of dislikes..

Yes! Great day for flying!!

I too have 'flyicarus' insurance as well as DJI care refresh.. Flyicarus covers me for flyaways as well as loss or damage over water so I felt it was a no-brainer! I also have FPV-UK membership which provides me with £2million of public liability cover. I can afford shelling out around £120...
