I am near Syracuse, New York. When I open B4UFly it shows the two yellow areas: around the airport, and around the hospital for helicopters. I might be bringing the Spark to Raleigh, North Carolina. I would like to see what the restrictions look like. If I move the app map to Raleigh there are...

Thanks everyone!

Hello, I have seen posts that mentioned the term "Hand Launch" After doing a forum search and looking through the DJI manual, I'm not sure how to perform this. The DJI manual talks about "Palm Launch" – you hold the Spark in the air, power on, wait for green lights, tap the battery power...

The following is all just a semi-educated guess. I don't think the USB charging circuit involves software. Otherwise, it would not charge when the device is turned off. I think you hit on the most likely scenario that somehow the connector was damaged. Mating with an inexpensive connector...

I'm wondering about the exact procedure for upgrading to the new firmware. Searching this forum I've seen an excellent description from msinger, but it focuses on using the DJI Assistant 2. I'd rather just update the RC and Spark using DJI Go – to keep things simple and straightforward. I've...

Hello, I am interested in this, even though Wi-Fi between my Spark controller and iPhone 6+ has been reliable up to now. Can I ask a few questions? I see you mention a Spark RC and iPhone. Is this what you use? Did you purchase the 8.14 inch cable or the 3.66 inch cable? What advantage is...

I had much better luck today flying around my backyard. I'm still trying to get used to the Spark and learning a "how to use" procedure before going to other locations. The following seems to be a workable procedure to get things going. After the pre-flight check: On my iPhone 6+ go into...

Hello, Today was the first day warm enough to take my new Spark outside. I have flown it a little bit in the house – just back and forth 10 or 12 feet. I am using a Spark, RC (fly more package), and an iPhone 6+. Today the first battery went fine. I flew around my backyard for 10 minutes...

Which Tab S? What version of Android? I downloaded and used DJI Go 4 on a Galaxy Tab S 8.4, Android version 6.01 with a Spark.

I also did a manual update to 4.2.8 from the Apple App Store a few days ago (see manual update instructions earlier in this thread). The update notes only mentioned a few new things for the Mavic Air. Barry.

IOS newbie here. Is there an easier way to see the version number of DJI Go installed on an iOS device? I have found it by navigating to the camera view – settings – about. How do I set iOS to automatically update apps? How would I manually update this app? When I go on to the App Store, it...

This is just a wild guess, but it sounds very similar to a problem I had with a battery-powered drill battery. I put it on the charger and the battery just died - bad battery cell or something. I would contact DJI support. I contacted them via website chat for a problem and they were very...

I think yours might have mine beat, but I bought the following case: I didn't realize it was not for the fly more package, but I did some surgery with a kitchen knife to fix that problem. Mine now holds four batteries plus a battery in the Spark if desired. It holds the charging plate and...

Thanks for your reply. I will try those configuration settings in Android. I am a little confused. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S5 and it fits easily in landscape mode within the controller. The two Apple options I am looking at are and iPhone 6+ or an iPad Mini 3. I found the...

Hello, I am an Android guy. I am looking at a dedicated Apple phone for the Spark – an iPhone 6+ looks to be my most likely choice. I have next to zero experience with Apple. Can I ask a few simple questions since I noticed you mentioned iPhone 6+ and an OTG cable? Does the iPhone 6+ fit...
