Getting a licence would make you more culpable. As for the main point, currently there are actually very few laws regarding "drones" in the UK. We have the CAA drone code, which is not legislated but is a set of good practice guidelines - AFAIK. Rules do not make people safer, only the...

If you like watch this

no, it will charge the "stowed" batteries but only after it has charged the battery attached to the spark via the contacts. So this device will charge 3 batteries without having to swap anything. Edit to add: I also believe the device will also charge it's internal battery when everything else...

Happy flying, the flyaway issue is universal to all drones so try not to fixate on it.

I have an Autel XSP, and Yuneec Typhoon H and a spark. Of all of them I really like the spark and if had to choose just one to keep it would be the spark. The ease of use of the spark and it's stability make it a joy to use. Portable or not it's hard not to appreciate the quick setup time of the...

I have to beg to differ, I have been using it the Spark launched and I switch off wifi on my phone when using it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mavic+cable

If it helps any, there is a proper DJI cable designed for the MAVIC which has the correct shaped plug and does not require an adapter. Check amazon for Mavic cable.

remember to switch off wifi on your phone. The best cable for the job is the DJI Mavic OTG cable (check amazon) as the RC plug is not the usual microB shape, its a rectangle and the cable is angled both ends. Also take note that one end of a USB otg cable will be a "host" so depending on which...

Nice pics. I have to say the spark is indeed a pleasure to use, I was amazed at how steady and solid it is to fly ( I have a Yuneec Typhhon H and an Autel Xstar Premium ). The quality of the photos is pretty **** good.

Have you considered using a micro usb/usb cable with a micro usb/lightning adapter? I know USB cables have 1 end as a "host" and this determines the functionality of the cable. I found on my android phone plugging the cable in one way would default to simply charging the RC, turn the cable...

did a google search for that image from the ebay listing; DJI-Mavic-Pro-Folding-Drone-4K-Stabilized-Camera-Active-Track-Avoidance-GPS Buy Cheap Limited among other results for that image

hmmmmmmmmmm

looking at the sellers many seem to have been short term members with no other items for sale and 0 feedback.

looks like a scam to me.

Sorry to read of your loss. Without logs all we can do is speculate, so if you can upload them there are some very able people on these boards that could help. I will say that I will never trust my drone using just a phone to fly it, that's just me though. It's possible that something hadn't...
