[QUOTE="S7ewie, post: 70972, member: 14172"] Hey Everyone, I just bought a spark, my first ever drone, and I have a few questions. I bought it second hand from a guy who flys a Mavic. He said he bought it as a gift for his dad but it just sat on the side unused for 10 months so he decided to sell it. It was in perfect condition, still had all the protective stickers on and still has a warranty so I quite believe him. On that note though they obviously activated it when they first got it. I don't know if that registers it to your account or anything like that so firstly, is there anything I need to do to reactivate it to me? or is that just simply to get it to turn on? Secondly I'm having an issue with the Wifi, where I seem to have to reset it (by holding the power button down for 10 seconds) every time to get it visible on my phone. Works with my iPhone though, just not my Galexy S7 so I presume that's more of a phone issue? One of the first thing's I've realised is that I need to get myself the controller. I've seen a map in some of the images of DJI GO 4 but I don't have one so i'm assuming that's a feature that comes with the controller? Also it didn't come with an SD card so I've ordered one for delivery tomorrow. I presume that without this I cant use any of the quick capture features? Also I only have one capture mode for photos available but again, I'm guessing that will change with the SD card? I'm a bit confused by the Return To Home feature. Do you have to set a home point every time you fly at a new location? I don't really understand Dynamic Home Point either. Is there a best Joystick Mode? I've seen from polls that most people use mode 2 but is there any particular reason to that? There are other's that feel a bit more natural to me but if that's the most widely used mode then I'd probably rather get used to that in case I ever fly someone elses. Thanks :) Stuart [/QUOTE]
