    DRONE CAPE

    That should give an anti-drone shotgunner something to aim for!

    RTH doesn't work

    The flow chart says it all, although the translation from Chinese (or whatever) could have been better. I would replace "Raise at" with "Rise to" in a couple of those blue boxes. Also to improve clarity, the downward lines from the blue "Raise at 2.5m" and "Disable "Obstacle avoidance"" boxes...

    Remain calm

    Really helpful vid there. I've been wondering about that lower left indicator and exactly what it represents. Nice when someone else does the explaining, the manual is pretty thin on this. The more one understands, the less likely we are to have a flyaway disaster. Well done!

    Spark battery life

    Hi all, Just wondering how many charge/discharge cycles the Spark battery is good for. Also wondering about how the DJI GO app counts the number of charges. Ie. is the number you see complete or partial charge/discharge cycles?

    Spark drifting

    If you are drifting left or right when pushing forward and only forward on the stick, I would suggest that joystick calibration is required. You can do the calibration from DJI GO 4. Just my 2c worth...

    OTG cable

    It seems to me that OTG, being a solid reliable wired connection will always be more reliable than a WiFi connection. As an analogy, think of a fixed line copper wire telephone call as opposed to a mobile to mobile call. Fixed line copper is way more reliable, with far better speech quality and...

    Fly Away/RTH Failure

    My flyaway experience was very similar to yours with the "magnetic interference" message shortly after take off. In such a situation I don't think there's anything you can do. You can't even take manual control, never mind initiate a RTH. It may well be the last time you ever see your drone.

    Location accuracy of WiFi only iPad mini 4

    I've seen something on this on the Mavic forum, but I'd like to hear any comments from Spark guys. Here's the thing as I understand it: The location accuracy of the mobile device you are using (not the accuracy of the Spark's own gps location) is dependent on whether It has gps capability or...

    Hello from Cape Town South Africa!

    Had my Spark for a month or two. Actually I have two, because the first got lost, I got another, then the first turned up thanks to some very kind folks. Long story. Strong message here though:- write your name and number on your baby. The flight log did not help in the recovery at all. It only...
