    Will there be a PHANTOM V PRO in 2018?

    Happy 2018! The PHANTOM is still popular, but not as popular as it once was, thanks in part to the SPARK & MAVIC PRO. Will DJI release the PHANTOM V PRO in 2018? The current Phantom 4 Pro was released way back in November 2016 so it is time for a new generation of Phantom. DJI has to make &...

    Does the samsung note8 work good with dji go 4?

    It works very well... no issues, runs flawlessly. The large bright phone screen is awesome outdoors The size is perfect for the Spark and Mavic Controller. It is overkill (So many features) as a display for DJI products but it certainly is the best phone for such of the Android brand at this...

    New Firmware V01.04.0602

    Odd, I see many people with the P4P+ placing the update on a micro SD card and then updating the controller that way. I never received such a chance because as soon as I powered on the P4P+ it told me there was an update and asked if I wished to download it. After it downloaded, it then asked...

    DJI Spark Q&A (Your Questions Answered)

    The answer is.... no idea. Everyone says shipping on the 15th but I believe reality may be more like the 19 or 20. Shipping is fast, so expect to have it in about 3 days after it ships.

    Why 300g?!?!?! WHY??!?!

    It would have been heavier than 300 grams had DJI gone with foldable legs. Expect foldable legs and a slightly heavier Spark with 4k video in the DJI Spark Pro due out (if history repeats) in 8 months. DJI could make the Spark Pro come in at 300 if they use lighter construction materials &...

    DJI Spark Q&A (Your Questions Answered)

    This is common in all drones with GPS. When in hover mode the drone is continuously working hard to stay perfectly in place which causes plenty of changes in motor speed. When moving, the opposite is true because the drone is in movement and doesn't have to remain perfectly still (motor change...

    DJI Spark Q&A (Your Questions Answered)

    Correct. Many of us believe the camera records video at 2.7k, yet due to all the shake in the 2 access gimbal it digitally stabalizes the movement that can't be dampened by the gimbal, and thus only puts out a 1080p video... but one that is very smooth. DJI may unlock this in the future...

    DJI Spark Q&A (Your Questions Answered)

    No HDMI out that I have seen. From what I understand, the controller connects to Spark and your phone connects to the controller via wifi.

    Currently it appears no, but as firmware updates happen more features will be added.

    Its about to get a little bigger...

    Finally the Spark is here! I've been waiting for that one. I'm guessing $499 since your phone is the controller.

    New Phantom Pro/Adv Controller Issue... Dead USB port?

    DJI used a different system in the past which made a controller incompatible with updates and connection. I fixed mine by going to the DJI website and finding this old firmware update... it was still on the site. Place the firmware file on a USB stick the place stick in controller and start...
