I done a lot of experiment with spark and extra weight, basically it will fly up to 130-150g, but battery life is much shorter and it flies like a brick, not worth it and there is so little weight to strip off the drone its not worth looking for weight loss either. Best bet is to. A) Use...

is the sport button pushed to the right? I think that is the atti mode on the spark. I don't use otg anymore, just use wifi, its easier.

Make sure your ipad or iphone is powerful enough, if its not, it will struggle to render right and DJI keep raising the bar on purpose becuase they are dodgy and in bed with apple, who also scam customers into buying needless upgrades. Make sure antenna position is right, about half way down is...

GR8 reply thanks.

I need the spark to be as light as possible for a project, but there isn't a whole lot of weight in the spark to play with , but one of the most obvious areas of interest is in the battery casing. And then I thought.... Would it be possible to take away some 1 or 2 of the 3 cells and just have...

Just google it as its less incriminating. it will be top result.

I use the "No Limit Drones" hack, it gives you full control over upgrading and downgrading firmware, sport + mode all in a simple to use gui and best of all enables FCC mode by default for Euro sparks so you get much better range and connection reliability. Costs 25 bucks, but worth every...

Entries which break the law and play lottery with lives should not be accepted as they have obvious advantages in terms of "cool factor". Took me 3 years but...

If you already have the spark, I just can't see it being any good for that sort of money for general use. I'll keep my money for the spark II.

No reason not to have footage shot before Jan. Just seems like a silly rule which will limit the entries, if anything. Seen plenty of good videos on this site that don't even get a mention, then someone posts some crappy POS and there's pages. Still, it is a spark forum so...

Got to be one of the best spark videos I seen. Bravo.

For me I found the spark in the UK was not keeping a solid connection within legal distance and I felt the drone was more dangerous that way than the way it is now. I have done some long range flights on mine since the hack and its a lot of fun to have that power and tech on something which is...

I would be surprised if the sensors failed that badly due to fog. But the spark WILL keep going up IF the sensors are covered so its a fair enough theory. I would check the RTH height, but more than that, just fly it in good conditions.

No its not. The hack does many additional things such as increased speed, descent, ascent all of which when used in moderation make the drone a lot more fun and IMO safer if used right, even if all it did is increase range, that's a pretty big thing when the drone was disconnecting a lot of the...

Basically it means if the drone is in FCC mode you get longer range, and more stable video while flying beyond a few hundred meters. By default the spark knows its in Europe so it forces CE mode, which reduces the power of the transmission signal and equates to a shorter range and less reliable...
