I also had a flyaway with my spark last year, only one month after I bought it. It happened during an active track mission when I was only 5 meters away from the AC. The new Go4 app version which officially supported the OTG connection for the Spark was just released and I was using that. The...

Make sure that the cable is working with the phone. Try the cable and the phone with an other device than Spark. If the phone is charging through the cable from the RC, try to grant USB permission to the device.

Has anyone tried the Go4 Mod app with the new firmware? I've been using it exclusively and hope that the new fw version doesn't interfere with the Mod app. Thanks UPDATE: I did the fw upgrade today (both AC and RC) and it is working OK with the MOD app. I made two short test flight in my yard...

Did you use OTG connection? Did you get a warning message in the app when you tried to switch in sport mode? If the answer is yes for both questions then try to connect with wifi and in the settings menu you will see an option for advanced flight modes. Turn that on and sport mode will be...

I have a relatively inexpensive Chinese filter set from Sunnylife. First I bought a 3 pack combo of an MCUV, CPL and ND8 filters. Later I realized that if am shooting on a sunny day I need higher stops ND filters, so I ordered ND16 and ND32. ND32 was enough for me on a bright sunny day on a...

With a phone you only have approximately 100 meters range to control the Spark. You definitely need the RC for longer distances even in CE regions. I am not sure if your RC is going to automatically change from CE to FCC mode when you arrive in the USA or you have to do that manually. Here is a...

These sad accidents made me buy a water landing kit which I tested a week ago with the following test results: - Spark flew surprisingly well with the kit, the footage remained stable - one downside is that you cannot record video with camera pointing straight down because the styrofoam balls...

Hello, A modded app what you can find on this forum: DJI GO 4 MOD 2.0 | DJI GO 4 MOD LITE [ Additional Features | Android | App Ver. 4.1.15 ] I mainly use this app with OTG connection, it works fine for me so far with added functions from the Mavic line, such as course track and cinematic mode.

Correct, the Spark was just over a 100 meters away from the home point. This doesn't give explanation to the fact that the return to home altitude was set to 20 meters and the AC only ascended to 8-10 meters height. The connection was lost b/w the AC and the RC/phone combo such as the case of...

OTG is wired USB On The Go connection between the RC and your phone. You probably used wifi connection between the RC and your phone. OTG has less latency than wifi so the quality of the transferred image is better than wifi connection could provide.

Hello, I had a somewhat similar event (with a better outcome) at the end of April when the the 4.2.12 app was released with OTG support. I was flying the Spark with the new app and with OTG, in a rural area. Around 6 min flight time I started an active track mission and followed my daughter on...

What type of phone are you using? There's a know issue recently with Google Play services which affects Huawei phones. They are not able to update and produces errors in every applications in which google maps are used, f.eg. the MOD app. Until the problem is solved, you can overcome this by...

Thanks for the feedback. I uploaded the flight record txt of the particular flight, I hope this is the one you were referring to. I was approximately 100 meters way from the home point, the Spark was just a couple of meters awy from me. There were some tree branches above it which might have...

I had a wierd crash today morning. I was using the new 4.2.12 app with OTG connection and was in active track mode, following my daughter on the bike. The Spark stopped because a tree braanch was in front of it, I bypassed it and initiated the activive track further. Suddenly the connection was...

Hello, have you received the charger so far? Did you have the chance to compare its speed to a regular ac outlet? Mine is on its way. Thanks
