    Using Crystal Sky Monitor with Spark

    I may just go back to my Ipad Mini 4. I use wifi to connect my CS to my Iphone's Hot Spot while flying my Spark to stay connected to Google Maps. Can't have 2 wifi connections and like I mentioned, I don't want to remove the DJI Quick Disconnect just to fly my Spark each time.

    Using Crystal Sky Monitor with Spark

    I'm going to have to try using it via wifi to connect to my Spark. Flew it a second time using the OTG cable and video transmission was still choppy, not smooth at all. I have read older threads saying the CS is not compatible with the Spark. I don't know/not sure if firmware updates on...

    Using Crystal Sky Monitor with Spark

    I've been using an Ipad Mini4 with my Spark. I also own a Mavic 2 Zoom. I use the Crystal Sky with my M2Z. I'm using the DJI quick disconnect mount for the CS. Since it comes with a USB cable pre-installed and I wanted to use it with my Spark, I purchased a USB female to micro USB cable...

    Upgraded from Spark to Mavic 2 Zoom, my first 12 impressions

    I’m happy with the upgrade. Flew my Spark exclusively for 7 months. It was my first drone so I learned how to fly with it and was totally worth it. I paid much more than the going price now. New M2 Z is just as portable, more powerful, 3 axis gimbal, 2x zoom, 4K video, top speed in P Mode is...

    Upgraded from Spark to Mavic 2 Zoom, my first 12 impressions

    I posted this in the MavicPilots Forum but thought it might be interesting for Spark owners thinking of upgrading to a Mavic 2. Recieved my Mavic 2 Zoom yesterday. Did firmware update on the Mavic and the controller using the DJI Assistant Mavic 2 app on my laptop. I got the Fly More Combo so...

    USS Ling - WW2 Submarine

    I downloaded a free copy of Video Pad. Free version has all the tools to edit videos. There are tutorials on YouTube on how to go through the steps.

    USS Ling - WW2 Submarine

    WW2 Submarine docked on the Hackensack River in Hackensack, NJ. Was used as a museum until Superstorm Sandy destroyed her dock. She has been left is disrepair ever since. About 3 weeks after I shot this video vandals gained entry into the sub and opened her underwater hatches and flooded the...

    Training at home, please help

    Go into the app and put the Spark in tripod mode while flying indoors. It will reduce greatly the stick commands, making it easier to navigate indoors while still giving you experience in flying your Spark. Also, prop guards.

    Full size unedited images

    Here are a few shots I took this past Saturday. I have video too. I'm going to do some editing and then post asap. These pics are straight off the Spark with no editing.

    OTG cable hookup to remote

    That's exactly the one I was referring to. I have it and it works great. Love the 45 degree plugs.

    Spark distance

    I connect my tablet to my Iphone's hotspot so the wifi is on but not connected to the RC. Haven't had any issues flying my Spark with that setup. I do turnoff bluetooth on both my phone and tablet.

    Spark distance

    I use an Ipad Mini 4. Wait until the Spark and the RC connect, see the green light on the RC. Then connect OTG cable to RC and then the Ipad. You will get an error message on the Ipad that you can dismiss and you should be able to open up the Go 4 app and see your camera view. Never had an...
