Tried the active track feature on the spark today while riding my motorcycle and it worked as well as I expected it. I did have an “Oh Sh!t” moment when I turned around and couldn’t locate the spark in the air and had to stop to look at the remote. The Low battery warning came on and it went...

or maybe grab a used iphone 6 plus on ebay and use that.... still lots of screen and works well with the OTG cable solution

I paid full MSRP for my SPark Fly More combo the day it came out and just like anything electronics nowadays, it was bound to happen. I love my Spark and take it with me all the time when I'm on my motorcycle and I can definitely say that I've gotten full value of the drone even knowing that...

Mavic Pro uses Occusync instead of Wifi so you wouldn't see the same issue. Spark uses wifi mainly and if there's a lot of interference, you will see the disconnects. I have tried to go back to flying without an OTG cable but have had very limited success so I only mainly fly nowadays with the...

okay. cool. thanks

Been flying the spark for a while now with a total of over 5 hours fight time. I’ve noticed recently that I can barely get the Spark to go faster than 10-12 mph when in non sport mode. I know that wind plays a big factor but there hasn’t been much wind during these last few flights that I’ve...

Does any of these add on landing gears affect flight time? I usually take off from a flat surface and just do a grab/tilt sideways for a landing so the landing gear doesn't make much sense to my style but I can see if you have to fly off from grass or that sort. However, having that the spark...

That's true. Didn't even think about it since you'll need the AC to charge the battery.

just throw in my .02c, I was in europe a few weeks ago and didn't bring the charging hub for the spark and solely used the micro USB to charge the 2 batteries that I brought with me. on the rare occasion that I was not close to an AC adapter, I would use my Aukey 10k Mah battery pack to charge...

is the above steps also necessary if you fly without an OTG cable?

Flew the updates spark again this weekend with just wifi and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised that the wifi connection had been pretty stable so far. In fact I haven't flown with the OTG setup since the upgrade. Here's a quick video up at newcomb's Ranch yesterday over some tall trees and...

Just flew the Spark again this morning after updating the app and it seems that wifi has indeed been more stable... also, the quick shots (only got to try rocket mode) worked well where it actually went the specified distance and came back to it's original position. Still have to test it out...

I'll try to grab a screenshot the next time it comes up.

Just did the update and so far so good. I did a quick 5 min flight, no OTG cable and the picture was crisp and clear. Unlike the last time I used it with just wifi where the picture was grainy and not clear. Flew about 200-300 ft away at about 100 ft height and didn't experience any...

I also slowed down the gimbal response to 25... I believe it was set close to 100 if I'm not mistaken....
