    Aircraft 'swivels' on ground just before rotors shuts off

    I've had the same legs on my spark with non slip rubber attached to them for over 18 months and have never had the drone flip over when landing on my home made painted landing pad. I think your fears are unfounded.

    Two flights around the house....

    Set the drone to tripod mode. It slows down all actions giving much smoother video. No jerky motions.

    Spark's range?

    I live in Geraldton West Australia and had my spark 2 kilometers away before it reached maximum flight distance. It then returned to the home point with no loss of transmission or video quality. I am using a Samsung 7edge with otg cable and dji4 4.1.16 app. Works great.

    New update of dji app android...

    If you're referring to 4.1.20 update be carefull when flying. My first flight with the new update it caused my controller to disconnect. The only thing that would work was the RTH function. I've gone back to 4.1.14 and not having any issues. In the process of trying 4.1.16 and 4.1.18. Hope this...

    Spark disconnected from controller

    I updated dji go4 app to 4.2.20 on my android phone and on my first flight I had my spark 120mts high and 180mts away from the controller when it decided to disconnect from the controller. Nothing I tried would allow the drone to reconnect. Thankfully the RTH function allowed it to come back. I...

    Sorta wrecked my Spark!

    I've found if the spark turns upside down either accidentally or deliberately and you're videoing the video file will be corrupted.

    Maximum height and Rock quarry...

    If you fly lower than the recorded home point your height reading should be in the negative reading
