The only issue I have using the OTG cable is the little mess it makes. I wish DJI just used the same design as the Mavic controller - very clean.
One thing is for sure, if they did we wouldn’t be having this debate.
If it works for you, use it... in all of my forum exchanges, I’ve pointed out it’s subjective. To where you fly, to how you fly, to why you fly.
I think the vital thing to educate others about,...Is on what the OTG is for. the OTG Has been wrongly perceived as being the magic cable for extending the range of the Spark. Be able to send it on it’s merry way and still be able to enter commands thru the RC without any video loss or command error.
They say “a chain is only as good as it’s weakest link”.
To me the weakest link, is wifi. The wifi signal being transmitted to and back from the Spark. Give me a stronger connection, and there is no reason why there should ever be a need for an OTG.
The OTG is used by most to control the quality of the picture being transmitted back to their mobile device from,.. NOT the Spark, but their Remote Control. And there to me lies the problem.
Who gives a crap about the quality of the picture, if the connection to the Spark is lost. It’s not going to matter one bit how soild my RC TO MOBILE DEVICE connection is if my RC isn’t reaching or sustaining the real connection that matters.
I too don’t use it any longer, technical hiccups..and never baptized by the most holy of holys DJI.
BUT I also am an IOS USER, I live in the U.S. OF A. And I frequently eat red meat.
All kidding aside, the video I inserted up top. Gave me much to think about. I mean seriously think about.
I can only imagine what DJI is thinking when they read our comments. And read them they do. Why hasn’t something cometh forth from the most Holy of Holys, DJI in regards to the almighty OTG. Is it to remain an enigma forever?
Nah... just use the **** thing if it makes you happy. But stop fooling yourself on what it does and what it does not do.
SUBJECTIVE. forever and ever amen.
