    Spark apps

    I have DJI GS Pro on my iPad. It is a free app that works with spark. You can experience flying waypoints for free.

    Spark startup

    The latest upgrade of windows 10 will not run programs with no valid certificate. I was able to do it on old version of windows 10 before. You need to activate the administrator user. Your computer is either setup with multiple users or single user. Administrator will be added and you will...

    Current Fly Safe Database imposes a flight altitude of 60 meters at Bayland Park in Sunnyvale. Parking is free during off season otherwise it is $6 paid at gate entrance.

    Can I land at a distant point and return?

    You might want to test your landing skills for remote landing also. You need to be close to the edge to actually get a better view or a portion of the ground will be visible.

    OTG Cable stopped working

    Did you get the message “this device might not be supported” message when you attached the RC to the IOS device?

    OTG Cable doesn't fit in controller ~ Solutions?

    For quick flying, I use this setup. I use mavmount and 10.5 ipad for normal flying.

    Trust this device

    I think it is a built in security feauture of IOS so it is harder to break in to your device using the USB. Newer IOS devices use finger print and face recognition for ID verification so some of us are not even aware of password authentication. I do get notification window that I am connecting...

    Gimbal tilted after a small crash

    I have yet to experience ‘eye lid’ effect during filming. I like my sunhood that I purchased one for my Mavic 2 also. You get gimble overload error when you have something blocking the free movement of the camera gimble.

    Gimbal tilted after a small crash

    Sunhood for the spark camera is an inexpensive accessory that helps camera and gimble from crashes. It saved mine a few times already. It takes the initial force of a direct impact and pops out.

    Practicing ATTI mode

    You lose horizontal position hold when you fly in ATTI mode. This doesnt come into play until no right stick input (mode2) when AC hovers. Flying in ATTI when moving will feel like sport until you hover or break. No horizontal position hold means AC will not hover in place nor will it have...

    Is atti mode something to be scared of?

    Spark uses GPS and VPS for horizontal position hold and barometer for altitude position hold. Altitude position hold is always used in any flight modes. When both GPS and VPS not available, it goes into passive ATTI mode and loses horizontal position hold, no assisted breaking, and some...

    Alert - Pending GPS Satellites update April 6, 2019

    I cant imagine how a counter resetting back to zero will affect the accuracy of data. If for some reason it does, I expect from manufactures of product I own with GPS to warn me of a potential risk using there product or an announcement of pending interruption of service. A lot of businesses...

    Beginner's Mode - What happens if . . . ?

    always be mindful of satellite signal, RC signal and battery status. No GPS and no RC signal is a combination you dont want. Not much you can do unless you can correct one of the two scenarios before AC drifts into something.
