    Altitude issue on rising elevation

    Fog is just unwise because it's made up of very tiny drops of water, and the Spark is not waterproof. The cloud ceiling that you must fly 400 feet below by 107 law can be found on your local airport's weather update online.

    Altitude issue on rising elevation

    Roger is correct. And, a lot of times when you get that high you should watch your legal distance below clouds when flying.

    Need Help to get back my spark...!!!

    Try pasting your address in Google translate. Then choose Chinese. Then copy and paste that to your delivery address to DJI. Here's my address as an example: 西大街255号 弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克。 24018

    DJI Spark did not RTH

    A good rule that I've used is making sure The Homepoint was actually updated. In the DJI Go4 App, the lady will say "take-off" , once you're up a couple of feet she will say "The home point has been updated" . If you don't hear her say that, your RTH location could be compromised.

    FAA REGISTRATION

    Andre. Please don't muddy the waters on a web site that is designed to help people. Each drone you own must be registered with the FAA. It is that registration number that should be displayed on the drone. If he is flying for hobby he is good to go. If he is flying 107, he needs to be a Part 107...

    Any hints on indoor flying?

    I live about a quarter mile from a class C airport. So my only issue with flying inside my house was having to agree to a lot of things on the DJI Go 4 app so that it would "unlock" the Aircraft and let me fly.

    Why OTG cable?

    Hi Bob. You sound like a smart *** that would probably do whatever he wanted no matter how I tried to explain myself. So no, I will not explain my post to you.

    Why OTG cable?

    I guess I have to ask just the opposite question. Why not the OTG cable. I mean look at it this way. If you know a little piece of wire is going to give your remote and your device a secure connection no matter what the conditions, why would you risk not having that?

    Using Air Map App To Control Spark & Get LAANC Approval.

    Hi Members. Two questions. This goes out to Part 107 Pilots & Just For Fun Pilots. 1) Is anyone using the Air Map Mobile App instead of DJI Go 4 App to fly?, and what has your experience been so far? 2) If you live in a state that has LAANC instant approval. Have you used Air Map to get...

    Bird checking out my Spark

    Oh man. Tell me about it. Birds get very protective this time of year. Things should get better once the mating is done and the babies are born. I try to avoid them if I can (flying higher, or a different location). Good luck out there.

    OTG CABLE PROBLEM.

    I think it's okay to have a lot of these OTG theads. It's really the only real issue there is with the Spark, and most of the other threads are really pretty lame. Examples would be stuff like: "What did you name your Spark", "Show off a picture of your Spark" " I flew my Spark 2 feet above the...

    First Crash

    Hi Brad. Sorry that happened to you. I think it's interesting that the avoidance sensors did not see the branch. Were you in sport mode?
