DJI is not great at admitting errors or offer an appropriate replacement policy unless proven to be at fault (which is very hard). Sparks are very cheap these days, I would not wait for DJI to support you.

Clouds? Fog?

Yes aeroplane mode turns off your radio too. You should be able to zoom in or out but I suspect all of UK might be a bit too big.

Flying in areas without mobile coverage.

I was just prompted to 'upgrade' to 4.2.8... and I was hoping to finally get 12 (which I sideloaded).

I would have thought the intelligent batteries are smart enough to regulate the input voltage. I would not think that this is much different from any other USB port anywhere else. I use a 2.1A USB charger in the car to directly charge the Spark when I am on the road.

You can plug a USB cable directly into the Spark. Cheapest way.

I have not experienced this myself but apparently Spark can get in trouble when the compass gets confused due to metal objects in its proximity. The issue appears to be that if compass and GPS disagree GPS gets disabled and that then leads to unpredictable behaviour. Hope that helps.

Oh you mean that one. Yes that would be cool, maybe later.

I would like to be able to charge on the go. We are travelling for a few months and don't always have access to mains. [emoji3] Actually it was the cable, charging works now with a better quality cable. Silly.

I think you are right. I'll try another cable first but may have to get another power bank.

Any idea why the Spark is not charging? It should start automatically when I plug in the cable but no flashing LEDs on the battery. Any idea what is triggering the charging? The power bank should have enough power @ 11.000 mAh and can charge @ 2.1A.

What's the phone permission for? Also social media related? Yes the app is surprisingly chunky, I am wondering if that's not causing some problems.

Nice thanks. I will be seeing a few of these places soon.

Cool thanks. It should not matter then that I revoked that permission.
