Very useful advice! I've been flying a Spark since last year, but did not know about the pause button. I was once on a sidewalk and had the drone in tracking mode. After it tracked me for about 1 mile, the battery went low, so it decided to return to home. When it ascended, it hit a tree. It almost fell, recovered and did the same hitting the tree twice. I finally somehow managed to take it down safely.

Whenever I launch my spark I do palm launching, but what makes it way easier is just press de power button twice, then look at the camera and It will launch itself, and hover at a few feet. Then I grab my remote and get going. Way easier because you don't have to hassle with the remote in one hand, holding the spark in the other! Great video by the way!

And the "grab 90 degree" to turn off. I've grabbed and double click to turn off a few times . . . going to be handy knowledge. Thanks again.

A wide majority of videos on KZfaq relating to the DJI Spark are "high level" reviews whereas you bring it down to offer a common sense laymen’s approach of everyday challenges faced with flying and how to avoid pitfalls. I particularly like your hands on experiences along with accessories suggestions and detailed approach to improving our overall experience in flying. Looking forward to your future vids as you are a natural with sincere emotion..

That's awesome! I'm a big fan of the Spark although I don't fly it too often any more. It's a great drone and a very good one to start with especially because it's pretty tough. I made a video for new drone fliers, which you may want to have a look at - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qquZiJeCsNLYcWg.html. Mistakes can be costly with a drone, so a bit of knowledge can go a long way. Best of luck with the Spark and thanks for the comment and sub. Cheers!

@anzaeria
@anzaeria 5 жыл бұрын
Grab a $40 Syma quadcopter. Fully manual with no automation. It might be more challenging to fly initially but it will develop your manual flying skills, make you a better pilot and give you quicker reflexes too. Plus they're light weight and so can withstand many hard crashes. If you can get reasonably good at flying the cheap Syma, you'll be an ace pilot with the Spark and significantly reduce your chances of crashing it. I believe the Spark, like the Mavic, has a fatal design flaw for beginners. And that is no user-selectable Atti mode. If the GPS on the Spark malfunctions, it automatically switches to Atti mode. The problem is that people who are completely new to drones have no manual flying skills and no previous experience with Atti mode. And yet Atti mode is forced upon them by the Spark when the GPS gives up. In such instances, newbies are often overwhelmed and panic and crash or experience a flyaway. However, if you get reasonably decent at flying a cheap manual Syma, you'll be able to handle Atti mode on the Spark just fine and resume control.

OTG was a bit on again/off again for Android but mostly 100% for iOS from the beginning. As Willie added a recent firmware update put it "on again" for Android.

I find hovering in front of me and pushing the Autoland with my palm under the Drone a really simple and comfortable way to land.

Yeah, I'm about 50-50 between auto landing and pulling down on the left joystick. I don't really have a preference. 😀

I learned one new thing. That the gimble returns to horizontal position before landing

Proud owner, but I wish the Spark had a little more ground clearance. I have to use aftermarket leg extensions to give me that.

also look into the auto launch, when you dont have to use that yellow slider, much easier and also have no ground touching

@@whatsup7202 once you have connected all devices and done pre launch checks you rest the drone in your palm and double tap the battery power button, then drop the drone by bringing your hand down fast

Great tricks. By the way- Unfortunally 2 axis gimbal in spark discourages me from use it anymore eh

Hello excellent tricks thank you for your advices I have a question, you can't turn off the back lights or front lights of the spark like on the Mavic air or phantom 4? During flight

As far as I know, shutting off the lights is not possible. Perhaps someone else will comment if there is a way. 😀
