Absolutely they could cause damage! While they protect the gimbal and camera during transport, they absolutely MUST be removed before the the power is turned ON, not just before flight. The reason is that when the drone powers up, it moves as part of initialization. The cover keeps the gimbal...

Do you have full range of elevation control i.e. 0 to -90 degrees (straight down)?

My Spark has about 1 hr on it, and no crashes. Last time I flew, I couldn't get the camera to point straight down (I was able to do so on earlier flights), and got the error message "Gimbal Motor Overload". That error went away, but the I couldn't point down. I thought that I'd bring it...

Unfortunately, you have to be connected to the Spark, and it has to be ON.

Obviously, you are handy with miniature electronics - congratulations.

Just to recap: We assume that it flies OK, which means that there is a link between the joystick remote controller (RC), and both the Spark, and your mobile device. Also, we assume that it has never crashed. While that connection exists, as you hold it in your hand, try to roll the drone left...

I did check out that thread, but I'm not getting ANYTHING recorded. It just seems to stop the recording, and doesn't save the file, as soon as I switch to the DJI app. Every other app I use the screen recording with successfully records and saves the video. Any ideas?

Just to confirm, you -are- able to record the screen of the DJ4 app?

iOS 11.x, App screen recording has worked for me many times, like playing games. I Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with this DJI App. Has anybody had this happen? How can I record the video from the Spark, with the app data overlaid (i.e., what I see as I fly)?

Scary!! Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky!

How do you use iTunes to retrieve that TXT file? Where is it located? I have current versions of iOS on iPhone, and iTunes on the laptop.

So how about an update? What happened?

I understand that you can release the sticks and it will hold its position, but that’s only true if you have GPS lock. My concern is practicing what to do when you loose GPS for some unforeseen reason, and are stuck in ATTI mode. On one of my first flights with the Hubsan, I was drifting...

It’s that “behind the scenes” stuff that is most disturbing - you don’t know what’s going on. What we need is a trusted lab to put a packet sniffer on it and see get to the bottom of things. Obviously DJI doesn’t have much respect for the rights of their customers. Unfortunately, neither do most...

I just got a Spark - no flights, yet. I have two other cheaper drones, a SYMA x5sw and a Hubsan H502s, and think we desperately need a good simulator; I’ve had many crashes because of disorientation, when the drone is pointing towards you, and left stick produces a right turn. Getting used to...
