Very interesting. . .I've had my spark for almost 2 years. . .never had an issue. . I haven't flown it in about 3 or 4 months so I decided to take it out a few days ago. . .when I fired it up I was just on my deck, still receiving a wifi signal, it asked if I wanted to update the software so I...

Nice! Was that shot with a Spark?

Well you have a great attitude. . .and learn from mistakes and mishaps. . it sounds like the crash into the Mediterranean was because the Battery fell off.. .so, by all means, do whatever is necessary so that does not happen again. ..get a battery clip, rubber band, glue. . .(kidding) whatever...

Is that you in the video? How'd you do the orbit of yourself starting at :47?

Hey Imel! PERFECT! Can't believe such a simple solution and never occurred to me. I'm ordering that ASAP. Great idea. . .great solution. ..thank you!

Ya know, I saw that one too. . .I think that sucker uncoils to like 3 feet or something like that! Don't need THAT much! Guess it can't hurt. .thanks.

Hey David ~ that's actually the EXACT cable that I have. It's perfect if the phone can go in the existing holder. . I just figured that if I have to mount it in some kind of external mount, it might need to be just a bit longer so as not to bend the cable too tightly. . .for some reason, I CAN'T...

Hey Andre ~ that looks AWESOME! One thing you mentioned that I forgot to mention that with any solution I didn't want to interfere with the antenna position or signal. I also Like Imel's solution. . .don't know if you saw it. . first time I've seen something like that. . simple solution. . .you...

Hmmm. . .the arms definitely look symmetrical on my controller. . .I flipped the phone 180 degrees. . .same amount of interference. . .iPhones and Samsungs have the charging port dead center in the bottom. . .it'd be nice if it WAS off center a bit in this case. . .what phones don't have the...

Good idea and thanks for the reply. What table holder is that? Funny thing is I don't use a case with my phone (I know. . bad idea) but hey, it's not one of the latest-and-greatest $1000 phones. . you can get these Note4's for $100 on ebay so I'm not too choked if I drop it every year or so. .I...

Hey Irvine ~ I'm just using my phone as a display. . not a huge Ipad or Crystalsky or anything. . .so less is more. . I don't have an external holder that clamps onto the controller. . but yes, that would be a solution to go with if there's no other way. One of the issues I've seen with the...

Hey Irvine ~ Thanks for the reply ~ but my problem isn't plugging it into the controller. . I use the bottom micro usb input as well, just like you. . the issue is getting the other end into my phone when it's in the fold-out arms. . the hole in the arm isn't quite wide enough to fit the...

Hey Jim! Sorry. . just saw your reply. .thanks! I had the Waypoints and the POI (Point of Interest, which, yes, was the house) pre-planned but was "playing" with the vertical pan on the gimbal a bit while it was executing. . my bad! What issues were you having with your P3A? Nice comparison...

Hi! I'm sure this has been addressed but did a quick search and don't see anything specific. My Samsung Note 4 fits great in the Spark Controller BUT I can't get it to fit with the OTG Cable. . It fits through the "upper" part of the clearance hole in the fold-out arms, but not the lower part...

Hey Northwood ~ thanks. . .we loved that place. . there weren't too many "not nice days". . have some beautiful winter footage there too. . .REALLY windy though! Got a lot of practice flying in 20+mph winds. . .sometimes I'd just go out when it was especially windy just for the practice. Have...
