[QUOTE="Koala Tails, post: 56499, member: 10033"] I presume that you have gesture mode enabled via the app on your phone. When you Palm takeoff or land the spark’s front sensor locks on to your face, the bottom sensor sees your hand, it requires both to understand the command. It doesn’t look at your shirt to land. Glare can temporarily blind the sensor & it doesn’t see in low light. The more you contrast with the background the easier it will see. My suggestion. On a bright sunny day find a deserted spot in the shade, (not too dark, you want enough light to easily read a magazine). Bring a friend, turn Bluetooth off your phones, on your phone turn on the DJI app, get connection to the Spark, wait until it has GPS & is “Ready to Fly”, check gesture mode on, give your phone to your friend, your friends job is to relay messages to you from the spark, via your phone. It will say if you are too close or locked on. Then palm launch, hold your hand out in front of the Spark (like a “Stop” signal) fingers together! Move your hand slowly sideways & back, quickly pull your hand away leaving the spark hovering, then staring into the front sensor move slightly closer & raise your open palm from directly below the Spark. If the Spark begins to assend hold your hand still, keep staring, let it land. I have used this method to introduce a few people to my spark “Tic Tac” with great success. It was the participants 1st ever drone experience. Good luck, Good flying. [/QUOTE]
