    I've been flying my spark consistently around once a week since I got it las july. Usually with OTG, but lately with Wifi as OTG was not getting telemetry with new versions and wifi seems to be getting more reliable lately. Last night I tried OTG again with the latest version 4.2.6. Hooked...

    2 Spark questions- "DIY OTG connector?" & "Spark payload/sensor blocking"

    Hi! Loving my new Spark so far, and doing lots of fun experiments with it. I have two questions I haven't found answers to yet: 1. I've got plenty of lightning cables & micro USB's around. I'd like to combine a set and make a custom length OTG connector to try. Does anyone have a pinout or...

    Spark range on 5.8GHz better than 2.4GHz or OTG

    After latest firmware (01.00.0500) update & latest DJI Go 4 App update (4.1.5), I noticed that range seems to be improved. I decided to do a test from a multistory parking (to get a better VLOS) using OTG vs WIFI. To my surprise, I got best results (1.2 miles / 2KM range & a perfect signal...
