Q... are spark controllers all the same please?
Yes. I've never seen a 3rd party DJI remote controller (for any of their drones).are spark controllers all the same please?
thank you!Yes. I've never seen a 3rd party DJI remote controller (for any of their drones).
There is no ‘distance limitation ‘ on UK ones.I saw a review video of the controller today where the reviewer said that the ones supplied direct from Banggood do not have the distance limitation that's required for UK ones, they're cheaper too.
Maybe the first part was in his imagination?
Are the controllers from Banggood identical to the DJI originals, or copies?
Cheers!Hi Brian. The only way of getting a cheaper one is maybe ebay, or the classifieds section on this forum.
You’ll find they’re the same place everywhere. Maplins and Argos sell them.

The one from banggood is the one and only dji spark controller, which is the same all over the world.
The transmit power on both the rc and the spark is determined by the gps location.
That would be how I'd assume that distance would be limited, not by a difference in the hardware.
I'll look for the video and see what you think about its provenance...
It's difficult for noobs like me to know what's truth and what's surmise, without reading thousands of posts, it takes time to sort the truth from misunderstanding.
So, are the Banggood controllers genuine, or not?
EDIT: Here you go -
"In fact, it’s important to note that the official UK version (the CE model) is restricted to 500m range anyway (on 2.4GHz) and only 300m on 5.8GHz. So there’s an advantage of buying the Chinese model from Banggood which gives you the full 1.2 mile range."
The Spark is a great drone: here's why you should pay extra for the remote
