[QUOTE="1uk3y, post: 75329, member: 15210"] I have been flying the Spark constantly since I got it last week and its been excellent with the remote controller and a OTG cable.. Yesterday I took it to a mountain and just couldn't get the RC to connect to the drone.. I tried and tried but it wouldn't work so I (stupidly) just connected it directly to my iPhone and piloted it from the app - NEVER AGAIN, sorry. Check out the footage below, it got about 30m away and lost signal, GPS signal lost errors, transmission error, WiFi disconnected and wouldn't reconnect.. I panicked and all I could do is hope it would RTH.. Watching it floating over a 500m cliff edge was a horrible feeling.. seeing it slowly land back home was better BUT in my haste to get it into my hands I gripped it out of thin air and it cut my fingers (which were freezing because I couldn't control my iPhone through my gloves!). Lesson learned? - I'm not flying it without the RC regardless of what I've gone through to get there! [MEDIA=youtube]9_pOeUtE_Ew[/MEDIA] PS - I have now managed to get the RC to re-connect to the Spark (by holding the FN, pause and custom button to reset the connection) [/QUOTE]
