I have found the WiFi connection to Spark from the CS is excellent. The latest update released a day or 2 ago should make it fully OTG connection friendly, but I have not yet had chance to fly with it to test it out.

I have my Spark flying in FCC mode and am using the Crystal sky to RC link via WiFi. Flying in area with a lot of Wifi I typically get around 700 to 750m using 5.8GHz as 2.4 GHz is very overcrowded. Its good enough for what i need.

Hi Jonathan, Some great shots, compliments on your skills as a drone videographer and on your editing. What sort of range are you getting from your Spark. I am only managing around 700m reliable, got it up to 750 yesterday and that was the best. Best Anthony

Would you not say the ability to take photos in RAW/DNG format would give the Air the edge over the Spark? Agree on the video. Is the 4K worth it when it hogs memory and requires a fast computer to process, and there are virtually no 4K screens in general circulation so most non social media is...

I had exactly the same thing happen to me on Sunday. Was approaching to land and the same message appeared. It was the 2nd flight of the day and up to that point flight had been flawless with even smooth video feed from the Spark. I was able to grab the spark as it was only about 1.5m above my...

If To & landing on sand a few unavoidable I suggest using undercarriage extensions. I fly from a beach quite often. Use a landing pad when I can but always add the extended UC just in case need to land in a hurry away from the pad.

I use them virtually every time I fly. In bright sun the ND 16 in overcast either the ND 8 or ND 4. And the polariser if there are reflections off water, wet vegetation, glass etc that I want to reduce or eliminate. Highley recomendations Polar Pro.

As a rule I will fly only if the wind speed is 24km/hr or lower. Will asses the conditions at the flight location to determine if gusts or other factors make a difference in the local environment. I've noticed that UAV forcast is often way off with its forcast. So always good to check with your...

My reason for upgrading was two fold, better performance in wind and RAW photo capability. So I would say absolutely yes if you want to have more latitude with editing your photos.

I found that occasionally there is some sort of RF interference that will really impact the signal strength/stability of connection to the Spark. Had a case a couple of weeks back that caused a total loss of connection at just 50m despite having checked WiFi channels etc for...

I too have a problem with Active Track. I can draw the box around me/the subject and the camera will track me but the drone will not move it just hovers in the same position so you quickly get the out of range message. Have others had a similar experience?

Actually the range potential for 2.4Ghz is greater than 5.8Ghz. Check out the DJI specs plus look as signal strength under the regs. The downside of 2.4 GHz being g its a more crowded bandwidth so more prone to interference.

I agree, 100m is not what I would call an acceptable range for use with the RC. Your movie phone yes but the RC I would expect it to be close to 1000, even if you don't intend to fly long range the signal stability is what is needed.

Total morons like this are going to ruin the hobby for everyone. Hope they throw the book at him. A.. hole is way to polite to describe twats like this.
