    DJI Spark Q&A (Your Questions Answered)

    I have a question on the follow me mode... I like to mountain bike. If I use hand gestures to get the Spark to follow me, will it adjust its elevation? For example, there is a trail I ride that has a long fast downhill. By that I mean, 2 miles, with a probably 400 ft elevation drop. Will...

    Video lag solution

    I got the lag problem again on Monday. I removed and reinstalled the gimbal and all is well now. This is the second time Ive had to do this, but both times the results were great.

    Video lag solution

    Thanks for the fast reply! I ask because I have the same Lag issue that this thread is based on. SO I am going to try to unhook and reattach the two wire harnesses connecting the gimbal to the aircraft. Hopefully it fixes my issue too. Im glad those connections are on the gimbal side, it...

    Video lag solution

    Sorry to bring up an old thread. But are the 2 gimbal connections inside the shell of the P3A, or are they on the gimbal? I have never taken the shell off my Phantom, but I can if need be...

    I Should Probably Check for Cracks More Often

    Thanks for the replies! Im not too concerned with the shell seam, but the crack will have to be monitored closely!

    I Should Probably Check for Cracks More Often

    I have had my P3A for a while now, probably over a year, and I have never thought to check for cracks, even though it crashed shortly after I got it. ( It only fell about about 15 feet). Today I checked and found what may be a crack. I need to keep an eye on it. I also found this, it...

    Learning Final Cut Pro

    Just as an FYI. I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro 2.53 core duo with only 8 gigs of RAM. It runs FCP pretty good, but exporting takes FOREVER! Saving for a new iMac....

    Random loss of Connection.

    Mine was acting similarly strange the last few flights. Try a different battery, and as crazy as it sounds a different SD card. That helped mine, but I haven't flown enough to know if it completely fixed it. I also recalibrated the IMU twice and the gimbal.

    No Image from only a few feet away

    I went out this morning with a different battery. The problem is much better, but it is still there. I tried a Litchi flight, and that wasn't any better, so I think the issue is in the drone itself. Also, for some reason, the litchi video file is corrupt, it won't even let me copy it off...

    No Image from only a few feet away

    I have never had any issues with my P3A. The last time I really flew it, I went out 11,000 feet with no problems. Saturday I was camping and had some issues.... First I had to recalibrate the compass 3 times because it kept failing. Then I had the drone hovering about 20 feet away and 10...
