Sorry guys but I don't get it. I have very poor battery autonomy on the Spark. Like 10 minutes. How do you get to fly all those kilometers is beyond my belief. And I used it more like for stable photos, panoramas around me. So 10 minutes - 2 minutes when it says "i have to land", and around 2 minutes lost for the start I may be able to fly like 1 km and back, but with care to be able to make a movie or so. Fact is at maximum speed of 50km/h that would make 2.5km and back, but then I would not be able to care about the movie or photos.
I looked into it and a secured flight expectation autonomy is around 6 minutes.

How does OTG work ? It seems there is no big deal switching from OTG to wifi (if I disconnect the cable the DJI mod app still goes along without a fuss). Do I have to disconnect wifi from the phone to the RC for OTG to work ?
Hi friend, thanks for answer.
Really Follow me, follows the "mobile" attached to remote (remote hasn´t GPS). I don´t understand... some people reports it works (not active track, and it follow to you), other it doesn´t work...
I've read something as to spark has a limited range and that spark follows you but takes his mark on the departure GPS point. So it keeps the range to be able to go back to the starting point of Follow me mode. It was compared to some other DJI (not sure which but I believe was the Phantom) who would follow your connected RC by its wifi emitter position.
I think the discussion on the flight time should be airborne time. Everyone has different style of flying, airborne set camera setting .........bla,bla etc will eat into your flight time.
My average airborne time is about 12mins too.
The furthest i can reached is 1.8km with jerky videography due to sports mode, after returning to original position i still have about 50% battery depending on various condition. I set low battery warning at 20%.
Before it reached the low battery warning i would have airborne for 12mins.
That is my past observations.
Now i don't look at the time but more on battery level before deciding to RTN or continue with my flight.
Set your phone in Flight mode (no WiFi).
Turn on your Spark and RC, and wait for the green light on RC.
Then run DJI GO 4 app, and connect your OTG cable. You should be "connected" and have video feed through the cable (WiFi is turned off).
I'm not arguing anything here, "Follow me" flight mode has never been successful on my Spark.
You will have to try it yourselves..

Hello
I have a question, did you try with your spark mode "active track spotlight" as on the mavic?

Tried cinematic mode last night I can't understand why dji doesn't switch the fpv mode back to follow in sports mode the gimble can handle it and you wouldn't have that horrible tilting when flying in sports mode on your videos
Remember, Sport mode does alot more aggressive turns and brakes. Maybe gimbal would suffer then.
First run in Cinematic sure is magic!
Anyone help with this? Should the FCC mode be automaticly on when using the modded app?
Yes, it does.
FCC mode show 11 channels in the lower 2.4 Ghz band. Thats how we know FCC mode is activated.
If you open the GO 4 app you are using, and you hit "Me" in the bottom right corner.
Then the "cog"-symbol in top right corner..
What version does it say at the bottom?
If you have both official version and the modded 2.0 version installed on the device.. you didnt accidently open the official?
It says DJI GO 4 v4.1.15(411-original). I deleted the official app before installing the modded version for just in case. Maybe i should reinstall? The weird thing is that i get slighty better signal with modded even though it isnt FCC. now i get somewhere near 300 meters before the video cuts out vs. 200 meters with original app.
Never seen a problem like this..
Maybe uninstall and delete DJI folder..
Reboot..and fresh install modded app.
It should show channels like this if FCC:
Yeah, i get back on you when i have reinstalled and tested. I dont see that, mine shows channels from 1 to 11 and then the 149 etc. And is currently on 149.
Edit: do i have to reset the drone and controller before connecting to the reinstalled app?
