    Maximum distance/altitude reached with new firmware

    iOS 11 and .600 here. Only time I’ve ever seen anything like this was when I tried to fly with no gps signal. In ATTI mode it won’t go above 30m I regularly fly, change battery without turning anything off except the spark. I leave the OTG cable in throughout. As soon as the spark comes back up...

    Current State of the Spark (updated - bought one)

    Had mine for a month now. Only one issue but that was down to me taking off from a metal table. No issues with remote or connectivity yet. I fly with and without OTG and remote

    To landing gear? or not to landing gear?

    I've got the little clip-on landing gears. I used them in almost every flight on my recent holiday. Invaluable, imo..If you intend to fly (land) anywhere other than a landing pad or a table, they will do their job. I can't see how they will weaken the arms, though. The arms are very well braced...

    Checklist favor please.... steps after a long travel

    "You are taking in a lot of information recently, and It can overload your senses. Don't overthink this. If you get to where you're going and fire up everything, and if the app and it says "good to fly", chk the rth altitude and go have a good time" ^^ This =) I was the same when I got to...

    Battery distance restricted after update

    You will see these restrictions when taking off with no GPS. Even if GPS is acquired after take-off the restrictions will still be apparent no matter what the app says. Land, get GPS sats, change flight parameters, fly :D

    Distance Limit incorrect

    I had similar when taking off with no GPS but acquiring it after take-off. I had hard height and distance limits unaffected by changing the limits in the Go4 app while the quad was flying. I had to land, turn off the app and restart it, but only when taking off with GPS already acquired...

    File Type Not Supported (video not saved correctly - help!)

    hehe..google is my friend..for anyone else with this issue who doesn't know this; make sure you stop recording before you turn your quad off! If, like me, you are stupid, go here: Repairing Corrupt DJI Video Files and all will be right with your world

    File Type Not Supported (video not saved correctly - help!)

    Title says it all. I've just returned from a great set of flights. All of them cached correctly in the iPhone (7 plus, DJI Go 4.1.7) but when trying to get them out of the spark using an SD card adapter (came with the card) it says that (the best) one of my videos can't be transferred! Eek! It...

    URGENT!! DJI Care Refresh - CANADA?!

    I thought that when I accessed it through my iPhone, but after going to the full website on my Mac, it offered me a UK version. Change your currency to CAD and you’ll be fine

    Problems with Spark remote and a solution

    I bought a Skyreat one from amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N4K81HS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_RCdMzbWB1VMXC. It’s cheap, alloy and It works a treat with both my iPhone and 9.7 iPad Pro (which runs Go4 way better than my iPhone 7 with the OTG cable)

    Hello from Poole, UK (via SW France)

    It asked to do the compass calibration about 5 or 6 times in quick succession right after it had its gimbal moment. It then proceeded to fly erratically for about 5 feet before trying to fly into a small tree. I had to grab hold of its belly and pull the battery out. It wouldn’t respond to the...

    Hello from Poole, UK (via SW France)

    Hi fellow Spark pilots. Just introducing myself. My name is Jake and I live in Poole. I bought my little spark the day before I went on holiday, so here it is in south west France. Had a few low flying indoor scares already. Mostly due to pilot idiocy. Running before walking style of thing...
