[QUOTE="redsox93, post: 55398, member: 10242"] So I have a couple of observations after this past weekend flying my spark around. Firstly, can someone confirm whether or not I actually bought an OTG cable? This is what I purchased - [URL]https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0755FLPH4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL] The reason I ask is that after getting my cable hooked up to my phone and controller and everything connected, I was incurring huge amounts of lag with the cable. Flying my spark not even 30 feet away from me, the camera was extremely jumpy and choppy. I took my spark out between 100-150m in these laggy conditions, and they never improved.
