Most places just need high clearance so you should be ok. We've taken stock 4 Runners, etc out there.

There's some amazing places just to the east of the actual park, place is called The Virginia Dale Mining District. If you have a 4x4 I can give you co ords to some great spots

Hi Robert, I live in San Juan Capistrano, loved your footage of the beach & The Ritz Carlton. I'm also an off roader & want to go back to some places I have visited before I got my Spark. There are tons of abandoned mines & cabins around Joshua Tree & the Mojave that would make for some cool video

I use an iPad Air 2 with a mount on the controller & a lanyard to help with the weight. Love the big screen, but I use a smaller shade than the one in the photo above. You get used to the bulk & weight after a while & it doesn't bother me at all now

I started at an open school field, beginner mode & burn thru lots of batteries. I watched a ton of YouTube vids, lots of info there & get out & burn thru a lot of batteries. Try different things & different movements of the controls to get practice, burn thru lots of batteries. Practice...

What happened?

I'm just getting into using some of the auto modes & it seems like after using certain modes the Spark will just stop & hover & with others it will keep going until you take control again. So do most of you put the controller down somewhere out of shot & run back to get it after you have the...

So how did it go? I'm curious as, like you, I've never had an issue with wi fi but I'd like to use OTG in some circumstances.

Sure, where are you located? I'm in San Juan Capistrano, went over to the Community Center field today, Spark handled the gusty winds pretty well. I'm getting better at not jerking the camera around or panning too fast. You really have to learn to fly the drone & then learn to take good video...

I think you are correct, I fired it up today & the same settings that I had last time showed up. Thanks.

Love it! I took it out to the desert in aBOUT 10 MPH wind & it flew great. I've flown it 3 times & I'm still getting used to it so the video is a bit jerky. :D I heard that Irvine is not too keen on drones in their parks & someone said the great park area is run by an RC plane club that frown on...

I just bought an OTG cable for my iPhone & brand new Spark, bloody cable doesn't work at all (I did the firmware update b4 I bought the cable). So I think it's a DJI thing, not Apple.

Great! Thanks for that link, I could only find the tiny, useless booklets you get with the "Fly More" package. Guess I didn't search hard enough! :)

Hi, I'm also an off roader & I got a Spark to capture some cool video on the trail. I would have liked the Mavik but being a total newbie I opted for the Spark. It's a great little drone but I would have liked the "Follow Me" mode. I guess I can still use active tracking right? I'm using an...

Hi all, brand new Spark owner & total newbie to drones. I've flown it a couple of times in an abandoned parking lot & my back yard. What a great introduction to drone flying, I was really leery about flying it but it is so easy to get the hang of basic flight control. Now I'm looking to figure...
