    I see the update on Google play. Haven't had a chance to test it yet though.

    New owner, needs your confidence building please

    Fly it close until you're used to how it operates. As you get more comfortable you can fly it farther and farther away. Always make sure you have at least 10+ satellites locked before taking off. Always check your IMU and compass before taking off, recalibrate if needed. Check UAV forecast...

    dji go 4.1.15 Available for android?

    It should be available on the play store now. Try just updating it there instead of using an apk.

    Dear DJI - Please add RAW

    Since the original photos are stored on the SD card I would think raw would be a firmware thing, not something accomplished in a hacked app alone.

    No microSD card?

    It doesn't include an SD card normally. I bought mine on Amazon from a seller who included a 32 GB SanDisk SD card for free and that was packaged separately from the spark.

    Does OTG really work? Connecting RC to your device with micro USB cable.

    I'm using dji go 4 4.1.8 on Android 7.0 in the US. Tested again this morning before work with wifi and bluetooth turned off on my phone and got out to about 7000 feet before I lost signal. Picture was good although I started losing it intermittently around 5000 feet. Just like Michael said the...

    Maximum distance/altitude reached with new firmware

    Today I flew out to 8400 feet before I lost signal and RTH kicked in. I'm in the country so there's minimal interference and I kept plenty of distance between myself and the trees. I used channel 1 on 2.4 ghz with an OTG cable on my galaxy s6 active. I had to pay a lot of attention to where I...

    Does OTG really work? Connecting RC to your device with micro USB cable.

    It's a bit buggy but I still prefer otg over wifi. I easily get twice the distance. I'm in the country and can consistently go over a mile away when using 2.4 ghz and an OTG cable. I also found that airplane mode helps a lot. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using SparkPilots Spark Forum mobile app

    How do you fly your Spark?

    Switch RC/AC to 2.4 ghz, then put my galaxy s6 active into airplane mode, connect with OTG cable. I've gotten a far as 6000 feet a few times, consistently go around 3000 feet. Only issue is if I lose connection I don't always get my battery % back when it reconnects, although the flight time...

    DJI Go 4 App crash during RTH

    I use a galaxy s6 active and it's caused my phone to restart several times. I restart my phone now before I fly and haven't had an issue since. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using SparkPilots Spark Forum mobile app

    Video stream range

    I tested again tonight after the most recent firmware update and using 5.8ghz and an OTG cable my video was cutting in and out with my spark within 200 feet of me. I also completely lost video when my battery got down to 20% which has never happened before. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using...
