    Traveling with Spark, worth it?

    CZGuy, I agree with you. I’m an International travel too and a SemiPro photographer, I don’t both to bring my Spark anywhere. Too many restrictions, drones have become considered a nuisance in so many Cities that the locals frown upon it. Combine that with the relatively short flight times, it’s...

    OTG has transformed my Spark Experience....

    OGT stands for On The Go. It’s very common among Samsung and Andriod users. You don’t need one necessarily for your iPhone 6S but I found that with my iPhone7 Plus I get a much more solid connection with no risk of losing my WiFi Connection. Be aware not all OTG cables are the same, some don’t...

    Can not connect to RC with OTG cable!

    I'm not a Samsung user so my post was for those with an iPhone, however I'm inclined to think as others have suggested it might be your cable. These OTG cables can be finicky and many of them do no work with certain phones. I'd do some Samsung/OTG Cable internet searches to see what brands seem...

    Just a matter of time until......

    I agree. I only plam land with the Prop Guards installed. Even then a finger could get caught. Anyway I don't know why so many pilots won't use them.

    Photo Software to Enhance your DJI Images

    This is for any Mac users, Macphun has just announced an upgraded version of their Photo editing Software, Luminar with special editing tools for DJI Drones. I am an avid semi-pro photographer, taking photos for almost 50 years. I call myself semi-pro because I've never done it for a living...

    Battery reset wont work

    I found this video extremely helpful in explaining how the Spark and RC interface compared to your IOS device. A good reference should you experience connection issues Down the road. After a few flights and the firmware update I couldn't connect my RC. Watching this video solved everything...

    Can not connect to RC with OTG cable!

    GREAT NEWS. Glad we were all able to help. We all had a learning curve with the OTG Cable issues. So thankful for this forum and the internet. The Drone Valley guys seems to be honest, give him a chance to get back to you and please keep us updated with his response (or lack of)

    Can not connect to RC with OTG cable!

    Here is one more video that helped me set up my OTG CABLE. The one he shows and uses is the one I purchased on Amazon in a 2 pack just like his. They work just fine. I know this whole OTG thing has been very frustrating in large part because DJI does not support it

    Can not connect to RC with OTG cable!

    Ok, FYI, after I got my RC to control the Spark by following his video I set up my OTG following this sequence. For me the olny way I get my OTG to function is to do things in this order: (I've posted his before) Hope this clarifies and helps. I just tried using an OTG cable on my iPhone 7...

    Can not connect to RC with OTG cable!

    I had a problem this morning even getting the RC to control the Spark via WiFi. The RC light remained Red, never turned Blue. I reset the Spark to it's factory Settings (hold the power button for 9 seconds. Then I watched his video and followed it step by step. He really made it clear just how...

    Can not connect to RC with OTG cable!

    I had a similar problem. Watch this video I had reset my Spark, then followed his step by step instructions for pairing the Remote to the Spark, once I did this I was able to use my OTG Cable again. Works fine now.

    Can not connect to RC with OTG cable!

    I have been out of town and have not tried my OTG since the firmware update. I will try it tomorrow and let you know. I've read on this forum that it still works and a few have said it doesn't but that could be operator error. I found you must follow the correct sequence to ensure it sets up...

    Seriously considering returning the Spark (Not anymore!)

    I too am new to Drones and your comments are very well said. I too have never disconnected from my WiFi but with all of the comments I did get an OTG Cable just to be safe as I am a newbie. I just download the Updated App and the New Firmware for the Spark and RC and it's loaded with...
