    Signal lost almost every flight

    I find that I may lose signal if I fly without the controller connected via OTG cable in my area (there is a navy station a few miles away with a very strong radar) - but I don't have problems when using the controller. I mostly fly when I'm on extended trips through the deserts of Montana...

    Howdy all, What are your opinions of "Future Availability" of replacement intelligent batteries...

    Howdy all, What are your opinions of "Future Availability" of replacement intelligent batteries for our little Sparkies. If DJI came out with it again, I would buy another just because it is sooo cool.

    Spark lost HELP

    Those little buggers are really cute and work great (My Sparkie) but if you lose it, its like losing one of your pets - worse than just losing the money. Glad you found it. The app works quite well.

    DJI Spark Gimbal Calibration Using Python and Pyserial.

    Bert, Your odds are slim to none to find anyone except maybe a close friend who would help you with this project as the Spark , only around $250 to day, makes spending that much time quite unaffordable. Just buy another on ebay or somewhere or go $399 and get the mini. Not trying to be negative...

    DJI drones: Waypoints 2 tutorial

    NO, But I use a free app from Google Store called "RED Waypoint". It works quite well. I do seem to have some problem setting the gimbal angle, but rarely use the function. I'm now using the paid app version. Very in expensive and works great.

    Sad new pilot here

    Did you try the "find my Drone" function. I had a "Power Low " Forced landing one time about a year ago in the deserts of Nevada. The drone was about 1/4 mile away and luckily I found it sitting on a cliff edge. IF it had landed about 10 feet further to the West, I would have had a 500' climb to...

    iPad mini 4 doesn't rotate the Go 4 app

    Hi Aquiles, For editing, I use VSDC Video Editor. It is a free download and can do some awesome editing once you learn how to use it. There are youtube videos on how to do anything with it. I believe it is and editor that can compete with Abobe Pro which is a premier editor but big bucks... that...

    Spark will not return to

    The book says: be in GPS mode, take off and rise straight up at least 26 feet. you should hear "Home point updated". Your good to go. Sparky records the GPS position and takes a picture of the take-off point into memory. When returning home if the GPS position is off somewhat then Sparky uses...

    Basic Setup at Start

    I believe AC first, then RC and phone with OTG interface already connected. Start Go4 or Red Waypoint and Everything powers up and connects quickly. I've had no problems. Owned my Spark for one year so far without a failure. Did go into atti mode with compass error once near an airport but...

    From a moving boat...

    Any of you Spark Pilots have suggestions for flying from a moving boat (Puget Sound) "salt". I've not tried it yet but I've flown off cliffs and over water from shore with a set home position and up to a mile away out in the deserts of NV and AZ but I'm not sure I am up to the gamble of flying...

    I was filming a cell tower, and I found an Osprey Nest

    jsmingle, Good shot that. I was wondering if the video is from your phone or downloaded to your PC from the SD card in your Spark if you have one. I believe the video will be much better if downloaded from the SD card. Just wondering. good luck

    I Lost My Spark because of 'non fly zone'

    I don't believe the Spark's software was affected due to entering a no-fly zone but rather a heavy hit by radar. I have an area near my home where my Spark will go atti when ever I go over 150' (also flashing "compass error) but away from that area a few miles and everything works perfectly. I...
