I preordered the first day and I was still running the original FW. I had some time to kill, so I flew her in a parking lot (empty) threw two batteries. I have to say, that battery FW must have done something because I flew for about 30 minutes on those flights. Given the lack of scenery...

I agree with the crashes / disappearing likely being due to operator error. The Spark flies, without an RC/Sport mode, extremely slow and stable. In terms of the targeting, if you set it up without a phone/RC then you need to follow specific steps. 1. Hold it in your hand and point it at...

One thing to keep in mind ... you will only get about 10 minutes per battery. I do like my Spark, but I always feel like I just put her up and then I need to swap out the battery. I only have two batteries and I feel like I need at least 5-8 if traveling. Luckily, she boots up really quick...

Now that I have been forced to upgrade my spark to 1.0.600, it seems like the general consensus is this issue has been resolved. I suspect that is a bold statement, but I am still curious if folks experiencing this were still at 1.0.300 ?

I have been interested in the Googles since the MP was first announced or maybe shortly after. Anyway, do you find it is easy to solo pilot or do you need someone around you to take-off, land, etc? I imagine that the VLOS is impossible with them on, so do people challenge you on it?

Do you happen to have another link? This one was removed and I am looking for a nice pair that will easily move between my MP and Spark. Something that packs easily into the flymore package/bag would be an additional plus, but not required. Thanks!

It sounds like there could be an issue, but I suspect that the mandatory FW upgrade may have been more-so related to locking the OS to prevent tweaking/hacking?

Sorry, I am not sure if I am supposed to take that as a attack or troll. I read my P1, P3A, and my MP manual. At some point, you assume that DJI follows some rudimentary steps and you figure you do not need to study it for the exam. Oh wait, I bet 99% of people do not even bother reading the...

Interesting. So, I only went between 20-30 feet from my takeoff height. So, I guess I never reached that ascension point, but given the marketing you would think anything over 8' should be high enough?

I'll admit that I opened this thread for some magical invention. I have a P3A, MP, and a Spark. It kind of stinks that as soon as you get up you need to come down for a battery change.... So, I can understand the complaining as it fly's so darn slow in regular mode - you would think the...

I am sorry to hear about your Spark! I just wanted to add my one experience with my Spark going completely out of battery (or RTH when low). I was shooting a party and I had it hovering over an unused deck area (no people). I took over in the middle of the table and it just hovered...

Hi msinger. Thank you! I picked up an OTA cable as soon as I received my Spark (around June 17th or so) and I was never able to make it work, so I just dropped it. But, I was considering picking up a different brand to pass the month by. To the best of you knowledge, is that 50m a height...

I have not been following Spark hacking as my MP is my primary bird. My MP is @ the shop for a compass error (ran 3 batteries in a row and it fried something..). So, I am aware of the MP hacks (did not do them myself), but are you sure that the RAW ability is app specific? I mean, my iOS...

So, is that 50m restriction based on app version and firmware? It sounds a lot like the restriction that us MP users were blessed with if we upgraded. What if we have the original Spark FW and roll back to an older android go version?

I did not watch this video, but I frequently have choppers flying so low and quick that my house shakes. They are maybe 1 1/2 to 2 telephone poles up in the sky (my rough way of telling height sorry..) However, it needs to be said that even quick flying choppers can be heard WAY before you...
