This took me a year to film but will only take you a minute to watch. Filmed in southeastern pennsylvania. Learned a lot about filming over the last year, I'd do some things differently but still very happy with how it turned out. Used Litchi.

This drone tilt-shift video is next-level good. https://dronedj.com/2020/12/17/drone-tilt-shift-video/

Marsh Creek Lake in Southeastern Pennsylvania. This is a Spark pano - 6 shots stitched together using Microsoft ICE.

I went ahead and bought it and it is exceeding expectations. Works as long as I wait for the RC controller to lock with the drone before I connect the OTC cable. Fantastic software and the online mission planner is amazing. Thanks all, I am a believer.

Does Litchi work with OTG cable on Android. I just purchased Litchi. When I launch it, a page displays instructions for connecting to various drones. The instructions for Spark say to start drone and controller, wait a few seconds, and then connect to drone wifi. Nothing about OTG cable. So I...

Looking for some advice on phone compatibility with DJI GO 4 using the OTG cable with my Spark controller. I have a Samsung S7 that is slowly dying, and have my eyes on either a Samsung A50 or Note 10. I've checked the PhantomHelp page (Best Tablets and Phones for DJI GO & DJI Fly (Updated...

Here's a short video of the drone handle solution. If it works on a pitching boat under sail, it should definitely work from a kayak.

Well yesterday everything was working fine again. Go figure. Good feedback from the group, i suspect it was either djogo4 got confused or there was moisture on the bottom (it was early morning). Thanks for the ideas and fingers crossed it doesn't come back.

I've heard of people launching and recovering a phantom 4 by attaching a handle (pvc pipe) to the bottom using a T- fitting and a pipe clamp. You hold it by the handle like an ice cream cone (drone is the ice cream, pvc pipe is the cone). Now obviously this is too heavy for a spark but the...

Anomaly#1: Yesterday when attempting to enable the active tracking mode i received an error "downward sensors disabled". Anomaly#2: I clicked the enable button on the "downwsrd sensors not enabled" dialog box but still could not enter active tracking mode (same error). Next I went into the...

Most bees, wasps, and hornets release phermones when under stress. These chemicals are a signal for others to attack. The first one you hit may been coincidence, but now the drone is blowing this "attack" me signal in its prop wash, resulting it more dead bugs' pheromones coating your drone...

I do have the rc unit. Thus is special case where I am mountain biking, need to carry everything in my backpack and pull it out for quick shots. Plugging phone into controller, syncing controller with spark, etc takes too long for these situations where I'm doing close in shots anyway. I've...

In this case I am using the phone as my controller. At 25' android is reporting strong signal hopefully DJI GO 4 is reporting very weak (no bars just a red dot). That tells me the signal from spark to phone is fine, but from phone to spark is not. I've ruled out the phone by using a different...

Can anyone confirm that, when using phone as the controller, the signal strength indicator in DJI GO 4 application is actually reporting signal strength at the Spark receiver and NOT signal strength at the controller/phone receiver? Im asking because for me there is a big discrepancy between...

I have some situations where I prefer to use a mobile phone as my spark controller. The problem is range is extremely limited. I've tried both 2.4 and 5.8 ghz (2.4 is supposed to improve range). I've tried both a samsung s7 and s4 to rule out defective antennae. No matter what I tried, I...
