I don't want to belabor this further

Apparently you don’t know either... but thanks for your input. My research has determined that there are a variety of OTG cables and all are simply different adapters for different connectors. The more important question in my post is why do I need one. I thought I would need it to connect...

What is an OTG connector, where do I get one, and what do I need it for?

That was the answer I was hoping for msinger. Thanks,

Here's a clarification I would like: The controller manual includes a note/caution below the linking instructions. It says: "Apart from using the remote controller, you can control the aircraft using virtual joysticks in the DJI GO 4 app. However, when the remote controller is linked to the...

Thanks msinger.

The first thing I noticed was that the charging port was rectangular. I don't think I have ever seen an exactly rectangular receptacle for Micro USB connectors. I was a little curious how to insert it but just took a chance and plugged it in with the USB symbol facing up. Fortunately I...

I think I may have misunderstood your last input. I thought you were talking about the portable charger contacts, but now I see you were talking about the battery contacts themselves! That indeed makes the problem more serious if it is correct (I will check mine later today).

Thanks V1 for your inputs here. I suspect that if what you say is correct (and I don’t doubt it), the only way to remove the potential voltage from those contacts is to drain the internal battery, but that makes no sense and defeats its purpose. A better protection might be to fashion an...

No, because there is a (sort of) bar that you clamp down over the spark to apply pressure to the charging probes.

Remember to stop recording before you turn power off to the Spark. Once the power is off to the Spark, the recording function can't format the video file so that it is readable.

Thanks for posting this Nicholas.

I just ordered one of the above from the DJI website. It was only about $40 because the $139 order included two batteries! :)

Nicholas. The pictures I saw on the DJI website onlhy show the charging contacts in the center bay. What makes you think that it will charge the outboard batts? Am I misunderstanding the image? (Thanks for the link msinger.) I stand corrected (and the question mark in the above image...

Ok, I found the details. The charger is configured so you can only charge the battery on the spark. If you want to charge the others you have to swap out the spark battery with the one you want to charge. At least that is what I see in the close up photos. At least I now know what uses the...
