Another time I lost connection to my drone and it flew into a tree but I didn't know which tree and I didn't recover it for over nine months until it must've been shaken lose by the wind and a guy searching for his model rocket found it. If you haven't done it yet, I advise putting a label...

I lost my phantom in a tree along my side yard and spent about 36 hours trying to figure how to get it out. The rescue involved another phantom to locate the p3a and the racing drone to deploy the rope used to shake it out of the tree. It was about 60ft up and took some serious tugging to...

So I had a chance to test it out again today. I hope I don't need to send it to DJI but it's just not the same flying it when I know at any moment I could accidentally lose it. Here is a quick video showing the troubleshooting I did earlier today. I guess my next step would be to contact dji...

So I'm trying out the goggles with the spark yesterday and I decide to check out live mode, which removes all flight data from the video feed. As I'm trying to descend I hear the controller begin to beep and the aircraft began descending fast. Fortunately, I was in an open field and was able...

For iOS users if you turn on wifi assist you can keep the internet connection open while using the spark's wifi. Go to Settings/CellularData, scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see data assist. WARNING, keeping this setting going can cause you to use cellular data even while at...

Honestly, I think DJI did the right thing by offering just the drone alone. It's a hook to get people interested, and also $499 is a good price point for a gift. Even noobs will get bored with a flyless after a couple of days at which point they'll either shell out more cash or put it away...

Charging via the USB cable is about 2x slower than with the charging hub.

There is very noticeable lag no matter where you are flying. It's definitely a step back from lightbridge. DJI needs to differentiate their products, if they gave this version of the spark 4k (totally doable) and lightbridge or occusync it would have a negative impact on the Mavic, which is...

If using an Apple device you could connect the moviero to device with an HDMI to lightning adapter.

To turn off other dji controllers and drones you push the power button once, then once again, holding the button down until the lights power down. I'm sure you're aware of this but if not that could be your solution.

I have a 2nd gen. iPad mini that I've used with my phantom 3. Will this not work with the spark?

I have an iPad and an iPhone. Would it be possible to connect both at once, that way I could allow people to spectate on the iPad while I pilot with the iPhone?

Litchi doesn't violate the warranty, but if you crash while using litchi it's not covered. The best thing about Litchi is that you can program your drone to fly a route by drawing on a map and setting altitude. The drone is then uploaded with the flight data and then it takes off, flying the...

Dji did the same with my debit card here in the US. They only authorized payment, and never took the funds out of my account. I contacted customer service via chat and they insisted that payment had been confirmed. It shipped out yesterday. I'm sure someone in accounting will contact me, at...

My white fly more package will be delivered by Thursday 10:30am. Ima take the day off!
