I have viewed the end of your posted video several times and there is a lot going on there. At one point I think you achieved slightly over 10K feet in horizontal distance which is impressive where as I usually start to loose image transmission signal around 2500 ft but I realize it's all in the...

Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback fellow drone enthusiast...Have a great Memorial Day weekend...

Well I have now learned that I cannot utilize the my current location (meaning the RC I am holding) as the RTH point. I tried this morning and received the message again stating that the GPS signal was weak. Should have stated something like no GPS signal as my ipad mini4 is wireless only...

Yes Koala...my ipad mini4 is not cellular so any connectivity to GPS satellites would have to be via the drone itself. I think what I need to do is to just start from scratch with the RTH configured to use my location (the RC) versus the drone and give that a whirl... I appreciate all the...

Yes Robin...that is a good summation of this post. After thinking about it a little more what I am really wanting is for the RTH return point to be where I am and not where the drone is...I'll attempt to test this in a "controlled" environment...Thanks

Thanks for the advice Haggi...

I have a question on a particular scenario regarding RTH... There is a field close to where I work where I enjoy flying my spark during lunch time. There is a vacant basketball court around 1800 feet away next to a few vacant buildings. What I would like to do is to take off from my spot in the...

Thanks for the replies folks...got one on order...

Could someone please post a link on where to purchase these battery clips...Thanks

I feel for you my friend. I have yet to crash my spark (in a manner like you shared) but have learned that every time I fly I do the following. It's a discipline thing and is part of my preflight routine... 1) Calibrate my spark 2) Ensure my settings such as RTH altitude are set correctly for...

Just a follow-up to this topic I was finally able to update my GEO fence database information. I believe the issue was that initially I was trying to use my iPad mini 4 which is wireless only. Once I attempted to perform the update with my iphone (instead of my iPad) then I was successful. I...

Thanks Guys...I'll try your suggestion...

I'm writing this from memory so I may not be as complete as I would like. Last night I updated my DJI Go 4 app on my iPad mini 4 to the latest IOS version 4.1.12. I then started the app with my spark RC and Spark powered on and my OTG cable connected (not that that matters (?). I then started...

Just wanted to get some other opinions on this topic. I specifically bought an IPad mini 4 to use with my spark rc and the DJI go 4 app. However I find it difficult to see the screen in the sun and more times than not just end up flying via line of sight forgoing using the tablet to navigate my...

Thanks for the reply and info folks...
