I often read a lot about drone owners looking for help locating a lost drone. Many of you know this but some don't. If I can help anyone reading this then it's worth posting. It's a good idea to have a shortcut ready on your computer to read flight logs (such as DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom...

Well worth grabbing a spare battery while you can! I'm suffering a battery shortage with my Inspire 1 and don't want to suffer the same fate with Sparky!

So sorry for your loss. I guess you've seen Or have you uploaded flight log etc? Don't give up, you never know!!

It's a beautiful morning and after days of wind and rain I was looking forward to surveying the flooding with sparky. As I gave it a pre flight check I noticed a very small, hardly visible hairline crack in one of the propellors! The crack was near the hub and was tiny but I made the decision to...

Brilliant thanks! I was offered a deal and the phone supplied was a G7 power. Armed with this knowledge I'll go for it. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. The Samsung edge + could be my answer. I like the Idea of carrying as little items as possible with the spark so a phone that would double up as a monitor would be my preferred way to go. I have a dedicated pad with my inspire and a suitcase full of gear but sparky comes...

Many thanks. I looked at the list as well and didn't see it so wondered if anyone had tried a G7 power as my Moto e4 isn't on the list but works a treat! Thank you for the information on the otg connection, is this approved by DJI yet? I much prefer a hardwire connection but have not used otg...

Hi all, I've searched but cannot find a definitive answer. Is anyone using or has used a Motorola G7 power with the spark? I prefer to use wifi connection to my controller and only control it with separate controller and not the phone. Thank you in anticipation.

Lovely pictures. I'm sure i recognise this place. If it's where I think it is I have spent many a weekend there at the boatyard down below. I hope your future flights have been more enjoyable. Happy flying!

Well I chickened out of opening up the spark and sent it off to DJI. I'm in the UK and it went off for repair to the Netherlands! DJI service was very good and the repair and shipping was very reasonable. Two days to get there, 3 days for repair and 2 days back. Every stage is clearly shown on...

Well the SanDisk Extreme card arrived today and I've tried it but no luck. I've run it through the SanDisk formatter as well and still no luck so it must be a camera hardware problem. There's no physical damage whatsoever on sparky and no errors on DJIgo & it flies perfectly. I guess I'll have...

Gracias por su sugerencia. Estoy probando una nueva tarjeta SD el lunes para ver si eso funciona. Si no es así, tendré un loik alrededor del cardán y veré si el cable está suelto o dañado. Gracias de nuevo. Tenga un buen día.

Hi. I know it's an old post but did you find the problem with your spark and the vertical lines? I have exactly the same problem with mine. I have a new SD card on order so I haven't tried that route yet. Many thanks.

I've just ordered a SanDisk Extreme (couldn't get one local) and it's due to arrive Monday. I'll try it first before I take anything apart! I'll post the results with the SanDisk card. Thank you for your advice.

I'll go out and get another SD card today and give it a go then it's out with the screwdriver!! I'll try a post in the DJI forum as well. I saw a YouTube video of someone re-seating the video ribbon cable but he never showed how the top comes off. More research! Many thanks.
