    filters/video

    As others have said, don't use auto mode but play with the manual camera controls. You can play with them without flying to get used to the functions. Also, I use PolarPro ND filters to compensate for no aperture control and give a more cinematic effect but sunset will be difficult. For this you...

    New UK near miss [emoji26]

    3 miles high (15840ft/4828m)??? 350+mph (513fps/156m/s)??? Got to be Russian!!! Most if not all drones would find not enough air for the props to bite at that height and communication near impossible with legal kit. Now, a swan or a model aircraft with jet engines could give the pilot a nasty...

    Bournemouth UK

    Definitely download the app but you'll find most areas in England have restrictions and where not, the local authorities shove in their own. All of the coastal path is owned by the National Trust and they have a blanket ban too on all the land and sites they administer. Its strange that you can...

    A slight modification to my controller... ?

    I trimmed the rubber grips with a razor blade but only the ones that hit the button.

    Who uses Polar Pro Lens Filters?

    I have the 3 ND set and love the better results when using video; I use the ND16 a lot in varying conditions. They fit very well, so no risk of them falling off.

    Frustrated with Support

    Excellent service here in UK; a total of 8 days away from me for a gimbal failure. Bird was replaced under warranty and no issues with UPS for a change!

    Firmware won’t update

    You found the answer before I could say it! Yes, the OTG cable should not be connected. It is better to update using DJI Assistant with a direct USB connection to the bird.

    LANDING SKIDS

    I have but don't use anymore as it's just extra weight that has to be hauled into the air and using more energy from the battery!

    Does the DJI Go 4 app still support the Spark?

    You don't say whether you are using the remote control or not; if so you can try pairing the two again without using the otg cable. If you are using only a phone or tablet, check your wifi connection.

    Running in Hot Weather

    I believe the Spark has temperature sensors that provide telemetry if something overheats, like a motor.

    Precision landing caused a crash...

    This may have been caused by RF interference but you can log an investigation through DJI support after you upload your logs via the DJIGo app. They usually respond with a recommendation.

    Gimbal Roll Motor mount

    Thanks Kris. The pictures are good and show the task is achievable. I suspect the screws are M1.5x6mm stainless thin cheese head ones. As my a.c. is still under warranty (just) I'll let DJI have it first.
