Thanks for the reply. You should post a couple of your spark panoramic shots, to show us all how good a panoramic pic could look if you new what you where doing. With reference to FPV flying. How long do you really get in the air on a single battery / charge. When I looked at fpv drones in the...

I have a spark battery and I’ve got the centre two lights stuck on. If I press the button it does nothing. I’ve tried connecting it to the spark but it will not turn on at all. I’ve also tried plugging it into the three hub charger but no joy there either. Has anyone got any ideas to try. I’ve...

I’ve since spoken to Dji support. I told them what I had tried. In the end they said send it back for checking. Turned out it needed a new main board and both position sensors. The cost to repair was £254. Lookie for me they covered it under the warranty. I normally judge a company by how well...

I Hi, I’m having the same problems as you are with the avoidance no working correctly and slamming into the floor on landing. My drone was flying great until I had to do the forced update. Since then the drone as been all over the place when it comes to the infared sensors . I’ve broken...

The DJI Dashboard is a hidden menu avaialable in the DJI Assistant 2 software, that has been there all along, just hidden by DJI. With access to this menu, you have direct access to your DJI quad to change parameters as you see fit. Be careful what you change, I’m not responsible if you brick...

I still use the old v2. You can have more than one copy of dji assistant running on the same pc if you install it to a different folder. I don’t know of any work around for the latest release.

So it's not just me. Did you do any mods?. I've since found if I down grade then my spark goes back to doing what it should. However as soon as my spark connect to the net it gets shut down until I upgrade (forced). After the forced upgrade My spark is back to as before with avoidance not...

Thanks for your reply, at least it's not just me going mad. Does anyone have a work around they can share besides rolling back the firmware. Dji is very sneaky forcing this firmware on us like this.

I think this is for the Mavic and not the spark. However you can still set these values but you have to do it another way. First you need to turn on the hidden menu in dji assistant 2 There are lots of videos showing you how to turn on the secret menu in dji assistant 2. Shortend step...

I'm having some strange things happening every time I update to the latest firmware. Example. When I used to bring the quad in to land it would stop at 4 feet then I would either except the land command or push the rc sticks down and in or out this would then land the quad and turn off the...

Update. I've now got the VPS working as it should do for the front obstacle avoidance. The vertical ultrasonic is somewhat out buy approx 0.5mtr. I get the warning bless and screen indicator as it comes down to land but it does not stop 0.3ntrs above the ground and hover, it just goes straight...

Use dji assistant 2 but turn on the hidden menu (how to's on the net) and also enable factory test in the debug section where you enabled the hidden menu. Once the factory test is turned on, there is a list of things you can do like wipe, deactivate, quick activate and reset to factory. The...

After turning on factory test in dji assistant 2. I replaced all the files. This seems to have fixed the front detection however the bottom ultrasound seems to still be not working or not calibrated. In the preflight tests it all passes as normal in the assistant app it's got a green tick, am I...

I've added a photo showing which versions I'm on.
