    WTF DJI?... WTF!!?!?!@!?!!!! First Spark flyaway

    Had the same incident happen again. See my other post: Spark goes haywire, again! I have reported to DJI, with logs a week ago - but they are keeping silent. In the meantime I have seen others posting the same behavior. This is not a coincidence- something is seriously wrong and this device is...

    ... still no response from dji...

    Spark goes haywire, again!

    I was able to export files - but they are not the DAT files. There is a folder called panic but it is empty. There are other numbered files but they are rather small- don't know what their use is. In any case, I used the DJI Assistant to send a copy of the TXT files to DJI. Did this 3 days ago...

    Spark goes haywire, again!

    I did not see any- are you sure it logs these for the spark? I was able to export data but it is complete gibberish to me.

    Absolutely - will redo the calibration and retest. Do you know how to extract user input from the logs? Also, how do I submit the log to DJI for evaluation?

    Spark goes haywire, again!

    First, the flight was not erratic. It was unexpected and uninitiated but took a nice curve path. I had calibrated the spark before the first incident in Berlin. So it was calibrated just before the first flyaway. In both cases it was open space without any metal or magnets in the area and it...

    Spark goes haywire, again!

    I am very familiar with compass issues, however the logs do not explain the following: 1. Why did it take off? 2. Why was it moving when it did not have compass errors? See all the logs... 3. Without user input and even with compass errors it must hover based on the VPS, especially since it was...

    Spark goes haywire, again!

    Would be glad to get your comments on the flight log. I looked at it and saw that during a certain portion of the flight it has a compass error, during another it has a speed error, but it does not have any of these at the beginning of the flight and there were no metals to interfere in the...

    Spark goes haywire, again!

    I recently posted that my spark went out of control. I decided to try it again, in a controlled environment. First, I downloaded and installed the latest firmware. Then I made sure I had a full battery. Took the spark to an open place, on top of a mountain. Turned it on, waited for it to pair...

    WTF DJI?... WTF!!?!?!@!?!!!! First Spark flyaway

    Of course I was being cautious. I tried to land it as soon as I saw it was behaving incorrectly. You are referencing many issues with the spark on this forum.... hmmmm.... where? I am the first one to my knowledge to report on the spark and on this issue. First flights I did were all in...

    WTF DJI?... WTF!!?!?!@!?!!!! First Spark flyaway

    I am amazed at some of the comments here. I am a very experienced pilot owning all dji quads since the p2v. As to gesture confusion- that is absolutely not the case. You obviously did not read my review of gesture flying. The selfie mode sends the drone back and up not straight up. Also it goes...

    WTF DJI?... WTF!!?!?!@!?!!!! First Spark flyaway

    No compass error no calibration error no remote control to turn it to sports mode. No death grip: remember it started to flyaway before I ran after it, so it wasn't a death grip. I'm really bummed. Flying is supposed to be fun, not stressful!

    WTF DJI?... WTF!!?!?!@!?!!!! First Spark flyaway

    The fact you are reading this here means that an international incident was averted.... I was already seeing the headlines: drone decapotates innocent bystanders and crashes through a national cathedral monument in Berlin. I'm still shaking as I write this. And bleeding also... Took my spark...

    Compass calibration- an idea for dji

    Which is why they have to fix this

    Spark - first impressions

    I thought I would need a cheat sheet too - but there are so few gestures, and they are so easy to remember that no cheat sheet is needed. As to the controller, I also have a fly-more unit coming in. Not sure I will keep it. I like the fact that this unit is ultra-portable. It will be great for...
