    Is full size iPad too bulky?

    I have a 12.9 iPad Pro. I use the MavMount. The view is wonderful. All of my early drones I flew by directly watching the drone. With this big screen I feel more comfortable flying by camera view. I use a lanyard with it.

    Does OTG really work? Connecting RC to your device with micro USB cable.

    i have seen mixed messages relative to using a micro USB to connect your device to the Spark RC. I am waiting for DJI support to also answer the question since there is no mention of it in the manual. Has anyone looked into the issue in a deep manor. I get the sense that the micro USB port on...

    Which tablet

    I would recommend the iPad Pro with a Mav Mount. Wonderful to have a 12.9" screen to watch where you are flying and see all of your options. My iPhone was lighter but I will take the weight to get the view.

    Best Way to Connect to RC - DJI Answered Me

    What is the best way to connect my iPad Pro to the RC? I am using a direct cable now rather than Wifi. JimWight Dear Jim, Thank you for getting back to us. For Spark, it can be connected via cord or via wi fi. For me, it is best to connect via cord since the connection would be stable...

    Gimble Control by iPad Tilt?

    I do not see gimble pitch control icon on my iPad screen, 11 in the manual on the main DJI Go 4 app screen. I am direct connecting my iPad Pro to my RC. Anyone have any ideas? Jim Wight

    Spark tried to kill me in jesture mode

    I flew again today. I was close to my garage when my drone came after me. Today I see a problem getting GPS close to the driveway and garage. I think the rebar in the driveway is causing the problem. My accident may have been all my fault by not making sure I had GPS before trying jesture...
