    Customisable remote buttons without app running

    Do your RC customisable buttons still work if only using RC and spark? Mine don't...

    Goggles + remote customised buttons don't work

    I notice that as soon as I connect the goggles my customisable buttons on the remote don't work. In fact, if I just use the spark plus remote and no headset or phone app, then also the customisable buttons stop working. Can anyone else confirm this please. Cheers

    Just bought the dji goggles and excited!

    Flying close is very hard to judge at the moment . I think it's just practice that's needed but I tend to lift up the goggles and watch the spark until it's well high and away from obstacles. I like the idea of flying through trees etc but not ready just yet.

    Just bought the dji goggles and excited!

    Reporting back... All good with the goggles. No weight issues and comfortable. Feel a bit silly wearing them as so big. Connected to phone first and removed 50m limit. Very impressed by the picture quality, even at around 500m . Impressed friends and had them wear goggles whilst I flew around...

    Why is the Spark even sold in CE territories?

    Once on otg are you setting 2.4ghz between drone and remote?

    My thumb now knows what it feels like to come into contact with a spinning prop

    Prop guards for indoors may also be useful. All good in hindsight ...

    tell me about your first crash, Landing gear affected or not

    be careful. i tried hovering at hand height then grabbing the spark to turn it over and stop the motors. Sparky fought me a bit , i lost grip and a blade thumped my finger taking a bit of nail and skin off. Stung for a few hours and enough to put me off trying it again. Needless to say, I wasnt...

    Is it possible to fly in NFZ?

    I'm fairly new too. The correct way is to make an application for your NFZ through the DJI software. I've never done this so can't advise. An unofficial way is to do a firmware upgrade to the spark using software from a company called NLD nolimitdronez. This works for me but should be done at...

    2.4ghz manual selection

    I need to check again, but I'm pretty sure I have to select both the 2.4ghz box Plus a channel for it to accept the change from 5.4ghz

    2.4ghz manual selection

    Cheers. Im thinking the same as you. Am I missing something then or is there a way of telling the Spark (or other DJI Drones) to default to 2.4GHz but auto select a channel within this band? Dont forget Im talking Android here

    2.4ghz manual selection

    Thanks. But I'm looking for an answer to this: When manually selecting the 2.4ghz band I have to select a specific channel. Will this channel be used on every power up in the future, or will my spark autoselect a good channel from the 2.4ghz band,?

    Gimbal in fpv or normal mode

    Which way do you set the gimbal when flying with the goggles? I think there's 2 settings...fpv or normal. Does it depend if filming or flying for fun?

    2.4ghz manual selection

    Nld firmware with FCC Europe mod, controller, S8. I can manually select 2.4ghz and select a good channel. What happens when I fly somewhere new if that channel isn't good? Is the spark now locked to the manually chosen channel or will it choose another one on 2.4ghz? Or will it revert back to...
