    Water Crash Success Story

    I would take it apart and check for corrosion on the pcb's. It usually is a gradual corrosion. If it was fresh water, it's less likely to corrode though.

    Good video editing program?

    I use Hitfilm Express. Lots of advanced features, and it's free.

    Slow speed in sport mode?

    Did you have a strong headwind? It did return to home quite fast but the outward journey took a while right?

    Spark hovers at 5 ft and wont fo anywhere after take off. Im using wifi at home what am i missing.

    I guess that if the spark flies outdoors and indoors it will not, just disable obstacle avoidance and be careful.. any object 2 metres in front of the spark will alert you on mobile both visually and audibly.

    My Dji Spark fell out of the sky!!

    I once had a faulty battery that had one cell failing on discharge very rapidly at 25%. It would go down to 3v whilst the other cells were still 3.5v. This I noticed immediately since I keep the voltage displayed for the lowest cell. So I immediately landed since the spark was still close to me...

    Flying considerations flying under tall bridge without GPS / VPS

    ATTI mode does not bother me. I'm very proficient in GPS free drones in FPV. My concern is that since I cannot enter into ATTI mode manually, would the loss of GPS signal freak out the spark, making it go out of control without VPS? Or does it just behave like the phantom 4 in ATTI mode and lets...

    Flying considerations flying under tall bridge without GPS / VPS

    Yep.. unfortunately fog is like the ground (when you are above it) It will come down, but it will take it's sweet time :) In my case I would like VPS to hold the position of the spark if GPS fails under the bridge. I believe I read your fog thread last week.

    Flying considerations flying under tall bridge without GPS / VPS

    Thanks! I'll just risk it! I'll do high speed FPV first not to give time for GPS to get disorientated. I'll post here once it's done.

    Flying considerations flying under tall bridge without GPS / VPS

    I'm dying to fly at slow speed under this stone bridge in Mosta, Malta Europe. I have no problem disabling obstacle avoidance. My question is, will my spark go crazy without GPS and VPS guidance? Any previous experiences? The people abseiling and on the top demonstrates the size of the bridge...

    Spark combi wifi to controller issues. *** S O L V E D ***

    Many thanks! What you are saying makes sense! I'll go through the settings and somehow will manage since the 5.8g seems to be the issue.
