    Spark losing control - compass error - in the middle of flight?

    Is there any other cheap way to de-gauss the compass. C-fixer costs $75...I want to spare that if I can :-)

    Spark losing control - compass error - in the middle of flight?

    I am trying to Calibrate IMU right now, it forever says "Calibrating" on the "ACC1" and "GYRO1"? It doesn't show any pics/instructions to sit the spark in various ways for the IMU to be calibrated.

    Spark losing control - compass error - in the middle of flight?

    My spark camera won't point straight down when flying?

    My spark camera won't point straight down when flying?

    That explains everything. I had the drone on sports mode, even when I tried to point it straight down, it wouldn't point 90 degree downward. It ended up around 70 something degrees. Thanks for your info!!

    My spark camera won't point straight down when flying?

    Hello forum: I am wondering why my spark camera won't point straight down (90 degrees straight downward) when flying. The funny thing is that the camera can point straight down by default without any tilt adjustment during pre-flight check; but once it is in the air, the camera could not be...
