    CAVU with Spark FPV

    I have not tested the RTH feature with CAVU though it was on my list. I would always launch with the dji app for the first flight at my location to update rth and verify compass calibration, then switch to CAVU. My theory was if needed it would return to home at it's most recent location...

    CAVU with Spark FPV

    Hi Nick, It's been awhile since I used CAVU, I broke down and got the DJI RE Goggles, after flying with them for awhile, I will admit they are very nice, but CAVU did the job just fine. Regarding your question, CAVU will take the place of running the DJI app. Which will result in no pesky...

    CAVU with Spark FPV

    I did read about that, what a bummer. I usually stay within the football field regardless when flying with CAVU, I was paranoid to fly longer distance without using the DJI software.

    CAVU with Spark FPV

    I didn't run into a restriction when I flew with CAVU that I knew of, but I don't think I understand what you mean by "CE power restriction".

    CAVU with Spark FPV

    Wayne my experience was complete opposite, I flew FPV for the first time with the Spark. After that I was hooked, since then I purchased the DGI RE Goggles that let you fly DJI drones, and receive analog signals from the racing drones. Now I have a tiny woop drone for fpv in the house, and a 3...

    CAVU with Spark FPV

    Good to hear! Did you figure out how to get the HUD setup the way you like? Took me a bit to configure it. Let me know what you think after your first flight outside. I was hooked on fpv after mine, since then I added a tiny whoop, and a race drone to my collection. It's addicting!

    CAVU with Spark FPV

    The one time it disconnected it covered in place, I walked towards it and the controller reconnected without incident. My brother in law had just armed his drone next to me, can't verify but I think it gave me just enough interference to lose signal.

    CAVU with Spark FPV

    CAVU has been more reliable then the DJI GO 4 app by far, my only disconnect was caused by the the controller itself losing connection with the Spark. I do have an Android, from what I have read the DJI App is more stable on Apple devices. Sports Mode was where its at! I had a blast with this...

    CAVU with Spark FPV

    Didn't have one that I could tell, I was flying in a football field so I know at least over 100 yards. I was able to fly farther then with the DJI goggles until I discovered if you connect phone, then goggles, it takes off the 50 meter limit.

    Sell my Spark for a Mavic?

    It depends on what you want to do honestly. Spark looks alot like a kids toy drone, to date I have never had a negative reaction when people see me flying. I've heard with the Mavic and other larger drones, people tend to get a bit uneasy when your flying an intimidating drone with a larger 4k...

    DJI Goggles and Spark...Maximum Limit is 50M, Is this a joke?

    Did a few flights the other day and confirmed this works, thanks! On the plus side, when I let my kiddo or new pilots fly the spark, it works as a safety net leaving that 50 meter geofence up, lowers my blood pressure just a tad when sharing my beloved drone with others.

    DJI Goggles and Spark...Maximum Limit is 50M, Is this a joke?

    Any updates if the above steps worked? I had the same issue today flying the spark with my new DJI RE Goggles. Analog with my racing drone worked great. I did confirm the 50 meter limit is happening with latest available firmware.
