    Looks like otg android is back and app download new app 4.2.16 587 Monday 21st May.

    Just took my Spark out to play for the first time since January and delighted to discover that OTG is back! I'd pretty much given up on the Spark since flying with 5.8Ghz wifi in CE was so terrible, but now with OTG again it's like having my drone back all shiny and brand new :). Maybe I don't...

    Just tried sport mode for the first time... HOLY !@#$!!

    Every. Single. Time. I even managed to hit an isolated 6ft laundry pole at full speed in a huge garden. I would never have managed it intentionally.

    4.1.22 and Spark without OTG Cable

    In the UK I had been flying with OTG and 2.4G between AC and RC since i bought my Spark last year and everything was stable and distances were reasonable - I mean at least 600m without any problems, which was far enough for my needs. Since DJI Go 4 stopped supporting the OTG cable I had to...

    Almost lost my Spark

    ATTI mode just means the Spark is flying without GPS so will drift in the wind without fighting to stay in the same place. It will still maintain level flight and altitude if the sticks are released. I think Sparkbart was referring to 'acro' or 'acrobatic' mode which is when the drone flies like...
