    Spark attack

    Happened to me as well. Once it gets satellites, it freaks out trying to reconcile where it is from where it thinks it is. Don't take off without satellites and it won't do that.

    Help - connection issues

    I've tried to duplicate your problem and can't do it. Various scenarios of opening or starting components in different order gives me the same results...Go4 gives me the proper settings no matter which RC I use. Are you saying you fire up your MP first? What happens if you fire up the Spark...

    Help - connection issues

    I use the same app/phone for both my Spark and MZ. App knows which one I am using automatically. Are you using a R/C with the Spark? Can't use the MP R/C on the Spark....just won't work.

    Which mobile device are you flying with? (November 2021)

    Google pixel 3, no simm, pared down to only required apps & using GO4.

    Can someone take me under their wing?

    Are you positive it's an OTG cable? Non-OTG will fit but will not work as an OTG You must enable debugging in android...it's easy google it. Connect the cable to the R/C & phone, phone should be on, R/C off. Turn on the drone After it does it's self check, turn on the R/C DJI Go should fire up...

    Can someone take me under their wing?

    have not had your issues with my Spark, but here a a few things I would try. 🔋Did you also update the controller and batteries? 💻You can also downgrade the firmware and see if it makes a difference with your issues. 💾Uninstall/reinstall DJI Go software ✅ do a pre-flight inspection 🔌Use an OTG...

    Spark Appreciation Week

    The thing I like about the Spark system was that it can charge 3 batteries simultaneously. Ready to go in an hour. Love my M2Z, but spontaneous outings aren't possible when it takes 4 hours or more to charge up all 4 batteries. Don't trust the non-DJI aftermarket chargers.

    Is my Spark faulty, range issue

    USB mini?? What are you using...a motorola flip phone? Earlier post you said Micro. The DJI controller actually takes a micro USB A. This is the one I grabbed to hook to my Google Pixel 3 via USB C. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B077GSSN5H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I...

    Is my Spark faulty, range issue

    Is that the mod that allows the 5GHz connection instead of the 2.4? Not sure where OP is from, but not required in North America....I get 5G by default. No issues at all with unmodified Go4.

    Is my Spark faulty, range issue

    Hi! Soccer ref is correct...phone should be connected to the controller...not the bird. OTG cable will improve the range, but it will always have some degree of pixelating type interference. Even my M2 Zoom with OccuSync (or whatever they call it) gets some at farther distances. As long as the...

    Upgrade advice welcomed.

    Hope you keep your Spark...I did. Look for a bird that sticks with the GO app if that is what you are used to. Love my Zoom:)
