[QUOTE="jleone15022, post: 12427, member: 1123"] DJI makes no mention of the OTG because it was figured out by mistake by someone. (Not sure who) They figured that if the controller was similar to the Mavic one, maybe the OTG would work with the Spark as well and they were right. As for what it does. I'm not the most technical guy but what I can figure out is that the OTG eliminates the need to pair the controller to the device. This allows the controller to operate on 5.8 ghz. Without that connection, lag is reduced in the feed from the Spark's camera to the device you're using. Most phones except maybe flagship phones (like a Galaxy S8 or something like that) transmit on 2.4 ghz. There are some phones that can operate on both 2.4 and 5.8 ghz. Usually when you just use the phone, it will transmit on 2.4 ghz. When connecting to the controller via Wi-Fi, you get the 5.8 ghz but you are subject to Wi-Fi interference. When using the OTG, you eliminate 1 of the Wi-Fi connections but you are still subject to Wi-Fi interference, just not as bad.
