    Spark Jums up and down after take-off

    Thank you for your reply. I did the IMU calibration several times without success. I bought new propellers a few weeks ago via Amazon. I thought the supplier was DJI and used them for a few flights without any problems, then suddenly I had this jumpy drone. After reading a ton of threads I...

    Spark Jums up and down after take-off

    Spark jumps up and down after take-off. How do I fix this problem. Straight after take-off the Spark starts to jump up and down. When the left stick is pushed forward, it gains height but not smooth. Intermitted climb motion.

    Lost my Spark, but have I searched in the right place?

    If your sparky does not listen to you- press Pause. Regain your thoughts and react from there. I suppose it’s to late for this advice now.

    Camera glass cracked!

    My Sparl's Gimble camera's glass cover over the lens cracked. I managed to buy a new glass cover from https://www.aliexpress.com/ My Question: How do I remove the old (Broken) lens. Is it just glued in or what??

    Gone Off the DEEP End.

    For some reason I do not remember, I installed the "SparkPro" waypoint App on my phone. I am using it since and find it to b e reliable and accurate.

    Spark attack

    I programmed one of the 2 buttons on the remote controller to "take-off/landing". This works perfect. holdingb the RC in one hand with your thumb on the programmed "take-off" button, and the Spark on the other hand. Just press the takeoff button and there it goes. Thanks

    Spark attack

    At my age and back condition, the ground is unreachable to me. I will have to get a plastic table of some sort. LOL

    Spark attack

    I set my DJI Spark up for flying on the hood of my Mahindra (Nice flat surface). I always take of from this platform. The problem is that the Spark has difficulty to find enough satellites while sitting on this flat metal surface. So, I take off in ATTI mode to gain some height and keep it in...

    Spark Controller Antennas receive backwards

    The antennas are limited to 90 deg upright and then 90 deg forward. That is it. They can not rotate the other way. Thanks for your reply.

    Spark Controller Antennas receive backwards

    I use the Spark Pro way point App very succesfully on longer- or further-away flights. On the bottom right side of the screen on my I phone there is an icon that shows the direction the RC controller's antennas has to be pointed towards the drone whilst in flight. Recently this icon directs me...

    Spark Flyers South Africa ??

    Hi there, I am an estate agent for Farms and Small holdings north of Pretoria South Africa. I use my Spark to video the farms I sell. This gives the buyer a better perspective of the bigger property without the long walks and mountain climbs. My Spark never let me down. I pre-program way points...
