I got it from another company in Auckland. Mr JB.. :)

Good news! Gimble on the new Spark works great. Turns out the old gimble wasn't connected. Bad news... After one day of flying... next day, put the battery in, turned it on on a field and it said something about needing to re calibrate the compass. We went to do that like we did the day before...

The shop I bought it from was an Aussie franchise. I did get an email from someone in Aussie just before it was all sorted here, so I wonder if one of my emails ended up in Australia head office and so it got sorted... lol. :)

Today the new Spark arrived. Exactly one month to the day since buying the first one. My thoughts... 3 weeks too long. Turned it on and camera moved instantly. All the work and forums and discussions and experiments over days and days. If only I had known at the start all I had to do was watch...

lol!

Wish mine did that. :)

Frustrating isn't it. I was hoping for a high tech device. I would understand if it was a cheap toy. I have waited months to buy one. Finally do and can't use it. My shop is 3 towns away. They posted it to me. They promised 10 days ago to email courier sticker, but haven't heard anything. I will...

I remember with my data projector, it had a fault. They fixed it but it was reoccurring until they finally refused to fix it. I am thinking.... I didn't want to buy a drone that has a fixed fault. I want to buy a new drone with everything as it should be. I think I will ask for replacement...

Hven't tried through PC. I will try that soon. Thanks. edit... DJI online support got back again. They suggested pc update as last resort. Didn't work. Grrrr... don't spend money to buy something and spend first 6 days trying to fix it and the next however long to wait for a fix. Oh well...

DJI got back to our answers to their questions with, 'We are glad your problem has been resolved.' Huh? So I went to online support. They asked a few questions but said they couldn't help and told me to email DJI support. So I have emailed them again. Round and round we go.....

DJI got back to us with the first response. They asked if we have the latest firmware. Yes. Then have you callibrated the gimble. I can't find how to do that so I have written back and asked how. (We have callibrated IMU and adjusted gimble pitch speed. Gimble didn't move any of the times we...

Yes. Before coming on here I saw it was set to 50, so I had seen online to shift it to 10 or 20.

I was saying to my wife that in all the searching I have done, there have been errors with the gimble but I haven't heard of this fault online yet. So could I have got sent the one in a million that the gimble connection is faulty. Wow... could even be same odds as winning a lottery! lol...

Yes, the gimbal cover was one of 8 accessories I was going to buy, along with joystick holders, sun shield etc etc... (already have prop protectors on) I was going to buy online, but I am ot sure about the company. Looks like a dodgy online company. Not sure.

Yes, it flies perfectly. Everything else seems great. Only the gimble. Flown it very short distance maybe 5 times. Gone through one battery power. Absolutely no crashes and been extra careful handling. Tilted it and the view on the phone does tilt. Tried turning it on upside down. No life in it...
