    Spark combo plus extras and modified controller. UK.

    I've decided to stick with my Mavic as my go to so my Spark is up for sale. I modified the controller with the Maxx UAV Mavic clean install kit, have been 3,500ft out and still 2 bars signal left. That's using OTB on 2.4ghz and two 8dbi antennas. 4 hours 45 minutes total flying time, never...

    OTG - just not needed...

    It definitely is at the moment, it's what happens in future firmware updates that I'm concerned about. The Spark go if they remove it.

    OTG - just not needed...

If DJI remove OTG functionality when they eventually release 4.1.10 for Android, I'll be buggered. I use a...

    Europe Spark Distance Boost

    Manually select frequency band with RC

    Just a quick shout out to @Ender for helping me decide to upgrade my antenna and answering my incessant questions! I've only tried one flight so far but easily got to 2,500 feet on 2.4ghz CE with 2 bars left. This is with 2 cheap 8dbi antenna. :)

    That's fairly typical for the UK.. You'll need to switch to 2.4ghz or install the fcc APK (which will invalidate your warranty in the event of a crash) and try some parabolic reflectors, which definitely help imo. All of the above is available via the search button.
