[QUOTE="smallman28, post: 17207, member: 3370"] Had Phantoms before and a Mavic but never encountered so much of a "faff" as the Spark! Okay,so,I bought the fly more combo and I understand the controller is already bound to the Spark,got the app installed on my Note 8 and tried to scan the QR code,and it wouldn't work no matter what. The Wifi network from the Spark itself was "invisible" so I found a way to reset it and make it visible to my phone to update the firmware and got them connected to each other. Updated what I could eventually but again the Sparks Wifi signal went "invisible" again! So,am I right in assuming that with the fly more combo I should be doing everything through the controller? I can connect the phone to the controller through Wifi and that allows me to then "talk" to the Spark to do any updates,yes? Also why is it I see some mobiles/tablets connected to the controller with a USB lead,does that mean I don't have to use the Wifi on the phone or is it to just charge the phone from the controller? When I connected to the controller it said I needed to update it's firmware,I click on "download" but then cause I am connected to the controllers Wifi it says there is no internet connection,which there isn't,obviously! Sorry if I sound stupid but it is all about as clear as mud :) Okay,if you are only using Wifi to control the Spark I can see it being easier (even if the QR code doesn't scan) but throwing the controller into the mix just seems to confuse things so much more. Is there something I should have/should not have been doing different? [/QUOTE]
