That's because it's not in video mode change it you are in photo mode

Yes, sorry, I should have been more clear.

I was switching between photo and video mode to test both.
The app seemed to get stuck in photo mode, clicking the RC video button didn't switch it back, so I tried clicking the app switch camera icon a couple of times, then the Nexus crashed/rebooted.

I've been trying the same over and over for the last half hour, with the props removed but all connected and OTG, and it all works OK.

I can't reproduce the problem so far.

Scary thing was, the Spark was 20 ft in the air when I first noticed the app camera icon didn't change back to video, video feed carried on working though, so I brought it down before doing any more clicking, that's when the Nexus crashed.

This sounds like the interference issue I had with my Android Watch (Bluetooth)
 
Just grabbed it from the play store 30 min ago and OTG works perfectly. No issues. Distance and height work fine. 4.2.12 Dated 04/18/2018

How did you get it from the store 30 minutes ago if 2 hours ago was 4.2.8?

I already had version 12 from the day before yesterday. And when I saw the previous post that the new build was in the play store I checked and saw an update. The update also mentions version 12 so I assume this is the new build
