Start-Up and Shut-Down sequence. For using the Spark, Controller and iPhone (with and without OTG cable) what is the best/proper way to power up and shut down these. (I have read conflicting information)
I'm pretty sure the spark automatically stops recording when you power off anyway I never stop recording when I power off and all my videos are intact and fine. I'll give it a go when I finish work [emoji106]In my experience, the only sequence that is important is to make sure you've stopped recording before powering off the Spark.
Oh, it absolutely stops recording. It just doesn't save what you were recording at the timeI'm pretty sure the spark automatically stops recording when you power off anyway I never stop recording when I power off and all my videos are intact and fine. I'll give it a go when I finish work [emoji106]
Keep doing that and we will see a "Why is my video file/SD card corrupt?" post very soon.I'm pretty sure the spark automatically stops recording when you power off anyway I never stop recording when I power off and all my videos are intact and fine. I'll give it a go when I finish work [emoji106]
Exactly! The issue is that the video file does not get closed if you just power it off which can/will corrupt the card.Keep doing that and we will see a "Why is my video file/SD card corrupt?" post very soon.
turn em on, turn em off
No particular order
Unless you are connected to your home WiFi
Then turn on the controller, change your mobile device WiFi to the controller, then turn on the Spark.
The video is actually there, you just need to run a program that scans and updates the directory on the SD card. The Drone never got a chance to "close it out" when you powered it down instead of stopping the recording. Lots of good info here: How to Recover Corrupted SD Card - EaseUSAgree with that. I forgot a couple of times and
no video files...
That's not the reason.The sequence of connection is no longer important.
Back in the day it made a difference -- if you check the dates on the "conflicting information" it is probably just outdated (or erroneous). Even the videos on the DJI website have the old instructions.
That's not the reason.
FHSS means that by powering up the RC first, it will 'listen' for a free/low noise floor channel and hop to that frequency. After powering on the aircraft, it will link to the channel already selected by the RC which will be the cleanest available at the current location.
So yes, it is still relevant and good practice
