    Spark cruising speed and image transmission.

    In Sport mode I can fly the spark pretty fast. But in GPS mode.. I normally get about 6-7 mph. Seems very slow... Spec says should be about 12 mph.. What are you guys getting ? Also.. Since they did away with the OTG cable... The image transmission seems to get worse. I get Weak Image...

    Spark lost altitude and crashed on RTH

    All the RC numbers at the last record in the CSV .. are the same as at the point when the RC signal was lost. All 1024 except the rudder which was 1018. Rudder controls the yaw of the aircraft .. not elevation.. which could simply mean the aircraft may have tried to adjust heading during RTH...

    Spark lost altitude and crashed on RTH

    How do you determine what position my stick was in looking at the available data ? No there was no 3rd party accesssory on the bird. In fact when the bird went down.. I totally lost contact with the UAV. First .. RC Signal lost.. Then I got a message that says "Aircraft Disconnnected"

    BTW.. I posted the question to DJI Support before I figured it out.. Just got their answer today. They told me to calibrate my compass. WTF does that have anything to do with the gimbal ? (smh)

    I will leave the filter off my spark. Makes no sense to go spend $80 on 4 pieces of glasses on a $350 drone. If I want to take better footage, I will fly my Mavic. My ND filters don't give me this problem on the Mavic.

    Figured out what it was.. My ND filter. I took it off and it fixed the issue. Do not buy these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074QFFH34/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Sports mode videos

    Want to get other people's opinion on whether I have a defective Spark. When I put it in Sport mode and flew it.. The Camera points down and never came up.. While in GPS mode.. when I full throttle fwd.. the camera initially pointed down during acceleration, it came back up and took normal...
