    I think your IPhone 8 has more processing power than the Ipad.

    Spark drifting sideways when flying over water

    Hi everyone! I just have a quick question. When I fly my Spark at the beach, it tends to drift off to the left. But when flying over land, it flies straight. Am I flying to low over the beach/ocean? I was thinking maybe it has to do with the reflection of the water and wet beach sand that messes...

    Spark is drifting

    Mine done the same. I recalibrated the RC sticks, IMU and compass. It fixed the drifting issue. But I am also wondering if it is not some magnetic interference of some sort as it still does it sometimes, but when I then change location it is fine again. It once drifted toward the right, then I...

    No GPS bars on new DJIGO 4

    Useful info for new/prospective Spark owners - Updated Jan 14, 2018

    DJI Spark...Not worth the money. Way too many issues with it such as image transmission lost, GPS signal lost et etc. I for one is VERY disappointed in this drone. Spending this amount of money on a toy (yes it is, because it is nothing DJI claims to be) is just not worth it. Rather save a bit...
