    Interference Issues

    The red icon is the obstacle avoidance sensor i believe, the setting should be set to auto, unless your in an area that is good for certain channels that feature will most always get the weak image message. I switched mined to auto and haven't had an issue since.

    "Track and SHOOT DOWN Civilian Drones."

    I wouldn't worry about it. It would only be able to shut down certain drones. There is a side that builds drones that don't show up on maps. The government forgets about the true hobbyist and our abilities. Let them make such a device. There will always be a way to break it. Remember if man...

    My Spark is gone alone!!

    Yep looks like it was flying sideways and hit a tree or Bush. That’s the problem when your eyes are glued to the screen. You can’t watch the drone or the surroundings. Sorry about your drone. Grab a big machete and start hacking that brush to get the drone back. Also were you using just your...

    4.2.4 - Android - Tremendous Lag - Makes App Unusable

    Update. I used my trusty ole otg cable and it’s working without lag. No issues whatsoever. They completely fixed it for me. The WiFi though is still a issue without it. So use the cord and be safe.

    4.2.4 - Android - Tremendous Lag - Makes App Unusable

    Same here and I’m on iOS. I am going to try otg. I heard it makes it not lag like it does. I thought something was wrong with the spark. I was getting lag a 600 feet out It was horrible and not fun to fly.

    Disturbing news for Android users

    Android is congested and development for that device means making multiple versions. Android is fragmentation city. So you have older software and newer software clashing. So any software made for Android will suffer. DJI won't be the only cool drone in town for long. Autel is making one that...

    Looking at Spark or Mavic, seeking opinions....

    Most fly aways i have seen came from the guys only using the phone for the controller and they are at least 100 feet away. The phone only method has a high fly away risk. Its due to the phones easy interference, and we all know that the interference on the ground is muddy to say the least. Thats...

    Just Another Irresponsible Drone Pilot

    All this is going to do is make dji put a restriction of distance in it the software. LOS is the law now and if people continue to f=get busted then the government will ban the drone out right or make a fail safe to prevent this. I flew out about half a mile and came back, there is no need to...

    Newbie lost drone please help

    just noticed on the screen, were you flying with just the phone? If so there are known reports of fly aways with the phones only. If so was your phone a android? The phone has a limited range and drops constantly at distances.

    New firmware V01.00.0900

    Hmm now I got it. I was wondering why the settings never stayed. But last night I did the update and left the cable. All the settings were saved. I could not figure out why they wouldn’t save. Now I know

    Looking at Spark or Mavic, seeking opinions....

    Do a checklist of needs and wants. Sounds stupid but you will make a better choice. I just came over to dji because I switch phones. Went from Samsung to Apple. As long as I had android, dji was a no go for me. Due to all the issues with android. It’s not dji fault it’s android and all the...

    Mid Flight Disconnect Diagnosis

    Started happing to me yesterday no warning, lucky i was flying in my house, then today wanted to test it again, and I had all kinds of warnings, from bluetooth devices, to strong interference. Without the otg cable. So i assume the spark just hates a crowded airwave.

    Is spark better than a Yuneec Q500 4k?

    Keep the drone that suits your needs, does the spark have issues, yes. Does yuneec? yes. They all have the pros and cons. The spark is a great aircraft, so is the q500. I know a few people with both. The q500 is gonna get you more cinematic shots due to the cgo camera on it. The spark footage...
