Your log really helped me figure out my problem. Thanks, but I don’t have days to re-analyze what’s going on with your Spark. DJI can extract much more detailed logs than what others can obtain. Experiment with Www.phantomhelp.com & datfile.net. Thanks for the portion you sent. :-) You...

Based on the your posted log, RTH must have been a fun ride ;-) HP was never recorded in the log you sent. Whenever your AC acts flaky, use the sticks to fly to a safe spot, and do it manually. Assuming the barometer data was somewhat accurate, something went haywire with the radio. You had...

That could well be part of the problem. The Spark has a lot of tasks to accomplish mid-flight. There is more than video written to the SD card. Recently, DJI4 whined that the SD in my M2P was too slow.

Yup, I’ve never tried to call them. Personally, I think it is a software/firmware bug....that only occurs under certain environments, and certain pilot actions, i.e. Isha’s & my logs show the same RTH and max altitude being set to 98 feet, and then reset to 16 feet in 1 second! I can replicate...

Airdata.com, the same way I reviewed. I’ve got several of my Spark logs that are similar to yours, but terrible compass errors also. FWIW, my Spark is now acting almost perfectly. I reset the AC, reset the controller, re-paired the RC with Spark, and all well. I am using an OTG wire with I7. I...

I took a look at your log, I hate to tell you, but it looks like you took off before obtaining any GPS lock at all. After 6 seconds 4 satellites registered, and ATTI mode started when it dropped to 3, but recovered. From 1:15-1:44 you completely lost radio control, and the AC might have...

I’ll most likely sell it, and donate the proceeds to many of the orphanages nearby

IMHO, every operator should remember ACs are far from being perfect navigational instruments. Find a wide open and large area, with no obstacles, on a CLEAR day. Take a spin in ATTI mode. It will improve your confidence, and flying skills.m It will also lesson operators’ tendency to panic when...

UAV is a wonderful app, but there are many variables. I fly often when UAV says no-go. But with a Spark, flying in a new location...I ALWAYS recalibrate the compass. I wait for 8 satellites, but in CLEAR conditions, I sometimes will MANUALLY lift off in ATTI mode, go up ~10m and hover. That...

Happy to hear. I’m no iPhone fanboy. Apple keeps a very tight grip on their App Store, and limits 3rd party developers from getting full access to the hardware. That limits IOS versions of some apps, but well worth the stability. My worst, and most expensive lesson came when I bought a Mav2Pro...

I missed you have tried a cable. It needs to be an OTG USB cable. Regardless, Re-pair your controller with your Spark.

I would suggest using an OTG cable, and bypass the WiFi issue altogether. I use my S9 on occasion, and never have had hard resets. Another option I suggest is to forget both the Spark & controller’s SSIDs on your S8. Re-pair your controller with the Spark. Then reconnect the S8 to the...

As far as I understand the Wifi chart, it is depicting the band & channel that have the least amount of interference, and then auto-selects. IME, the controller tends to select 2.4Ghz, most likely to opt for the farthest range. 5.8Ghz is much less crowded, but its reach is much less in...

+1 for Litchi. I love Litchi. It allows me to focus on the photos and video, with less attention to piloting. Another great thing is that if you lose signal, your Spark will complete the mission, and RTH. If you preplan your missions carefully, and thoroughly, you’ll be amazed with the...

A Czech girl just reached out to me. She lost her Spark in the South China Sea. She is heading home, and gave me 3 batteries, prop guards, remote controller. Basicially a Spark flymore , with no AC. Thanks
