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!
Thanks , I've had my Spark for 4 yrs now and just learned more. The OTG cable for communication. Recently I've had a problem with interference at a certain location. 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.
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.
I don't own a drone and have never flown a drone, but have done a LOT of video watching on the DJI Spark recently. Your short video is really excellent and informative. Thank you!
Definitely absolutely right! I got rid of my spark couple of times and I can’t help it I’ve got to have it still for the size there’s really no out there in the market that can actually perform just like the spark!😎👍
I had my first flight a few days ago, tried gesture mode without my phone. It took off nicely, but seems to get confused about palm control and landing. Luckily I remembered your tip on the emergency shutoff, worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
Steve Coutts I am so glad to have found and subscribed to your channel. A wide majority of videos on TH-cam 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..
My son received this as a birthday gift years ago and we just recently pulled it out and your videos are quite helpful in figuring out all of the things that this does. Thank you so much for your awesome videos. Liked and sub'ed.
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 - th-cam.com/video/tEiU4QKltA4/w-d-xo.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!
Steve I love your Channel! I have been watching it for months now under my old channel. You have helped me so much get to know my DJI Spark. Thank you so much for all the information and tips and tricks. Hopefully one day my footage will be somewhere near yours. Keep up the amazing work man.
@Steve Coutts I just bought a spark and have been researching guides and tips, and your channel is amazing, I came across you on the DJI forums too! Thanks for keeping the Spark community so fresh and alive 😁 There’s amazing resources here for us beginners 😄
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.
anzaeria sounds really awesome! I haven’t crashed my drone yet (Flown for 3 hours now) but this could prove worthy for a drone project at my high school!
Excellent info. Thanks. I considered myself very familiar with my Sparky, then here you come with all your sparkly knowledge. No really, thanks a bunch. I'm now a new subby!
Nice to see new Spark videos, I did not know about the palm land without gesture mode. I found using an OTG cable is a problem if you knock it and it loses connection momentary, then it is better to rather go for WiFi.
Danke! - > geliked und abonniert 👍 Die Spark ist auch heute noch sehr gut. Sie ist stabil und zuverlässig... Wie ein kleiner Traktor. Deine Videos helfen mir viel, du machst eine ausgezeichnete Arbeit. Viele Grüsse aus der Schweiz

Hey love your channel watch it all the time. Also a Spark owner and love it. I just wanted to point out you definitely get more distance using the OTG cable I have noticed. Less interference.
@@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
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
My "non-scientific" testing put it at about 10-15% less flight time but mileage will vary. I did a video on them - th-cam.com/video/2qB2VwZXg20/w-d-xo.html. 😃
My finding recently was that the OTG cable actually caused my pixel 2 to drain faster. Maybe since the last app update it will be fixed. Im not holding my breath. I bought the cable for just as you suggest to have rock solid connection.
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.
helloo, we re 2.5 years later and i would like to see an update about this amazing machine The Spark..for example; Dos the OTG-Cable still work, or did DJI something about it [changing in the firmware or o?!] because I tried a lot, it doesn't work for me..have a good day/flys etc. ...[like ure vids.] so ...
Thanks. I have been toying with some video ideas with the Spark for a long, long time. I will be doing a new Spark video at some point. I still use an OTG cable with my Spark and just used it the other day to test something. It works fine. I am using an iPhone though. Android phones have always been hit or miss with OTG cables. Cheers!
Hey Steve, thx for the video. When I plug in my OTG cable, it charges my phone for 1-2 seconds then my phone no longer recognizes it. Do I still have a connection being made from controller to remote, or must I physically be able to see my phone charging to know the connection is being made?
Thanks for watching! If you turn off WiFi on your phone and make a connection using the OTG cable, you'll know immediately if you have a connection via the cable or not.
I know this is a older video but, Be warned if you use the 90 degree shutoff. Sometimes it doesnt shut off right away. Mine started to shut off and spun back up. Ate up my thumb pretty good.
I have no plans to upgrade to a Mavic Air and I am quite content with my Spark. Year after year there will always be a better drone, a better camera, a better phone, etc. For me, it's not about owning the latest and greatest piece of gear, it's about getting the most out of the gear I have. A new camera won't make me a better photographer but getting out there every single day and shooting pictures sure will. 😀👍
It’s been a while since you posted much of a video was waiting to see some more of your videos and while the spark is great and I know you love it should think and consider the mavic air as well since it is small and is quite like the spark but keep up with the great videos 👍🏼
Can you please help me with regards to firmware and dji go app version.. keep hearing that the new version is giving problems flying. What is the safe version and firmware for flying. Tha k you
Interesting. I am on the latest app and firmware version and have not had any issues. I am running on iOS though, not sure what mobile OS you are running. My app updates are set to happen automatically and anytime I the app prompts me to upgrade the firmware, I do. I haven't ever had an issue following that protocol. There is always risk anytime you install a new version so, if your experience hasn't been good, then turn off automatic updates on your app and wait a week or two before installing a new firmware. Good luck! 😀
Yay! Another spark video!!! Edit: I heard that some people don’t like the OTG cable with an iPhone. What do you think about OTG cables with iPhone’s? Also, this was a great and useful video!
Haha! Thanks! My OTG cable has been great. I don't use it each and every time, just mostly in the scenarios I describe in the video. It's been rock solid. 👍
I've tried otg twice and it didn't seem as stable as the Wi-Fi connection. I have heard that the latest update doesn't like otg. I'm running a galaxy s7.

For sure!
Yeah, the Spark is a keeper.
Very tight drone and very decent camera.
Good tips. I programmed the function button to "take off" & "land". One push & it will take off from your hand or land on your hand.
good tip, thanks man

One of the more useful spark videos I have watched. Good quality content 😁
Not new to DJI products just got a spark and you are right I learnt one thing ..did not know about the 90° shut off :) thanks
Awesome! Happy to hear you learned a new trick and always love hearing from folks flying Sparks. Happy, safe flying! 👍

Thanks for all of the informative videos. Please keep up the good work. I am a beginner drone flyer and owner. I love my spark.
You bet Ronn! Thanks for watching! PS I love my Spark too! 😀
Excellent, thanks for continuing to upload videos of the dji spark. Greetings from Argentina

Steve Coutts I bet. Will be looking forward to more footage from you buddy cheers 🍻
Shame I didn't use it before i hit a tree over a canal in the UK and lost my drone ☹ at least I have my new one now.
Our narrowboat adventure oh no 😱. I’d have been gutted. Glad you got a new one buddy 😊👍✈️

Top stuff, cheers chap 👍😃 had my Spark about 8 months now and am still amazed at what it can do
I love my Spark!
good vid thx... saw the three of you heading towards the river yesterday... didn’t have time to stop and say “hi”... next time 😀
Haha! Next time. 😀
Have the spark for over an year and never knew about the pause button feature properly! Kudos! 👌🏻
Pause is incredibly useful. 😀

Good to know things! Thanks man!
Great tips! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! 👍
Thanks a lot for the tips! they have been very useful, specially the landing on the palm, which is some time a little bit problematic to me. 👍🏻
Yeah, I still need to try that.
Thanks for the tips ... didn't know a couple of them
Awesome! Thanks for watching. 😀
The "emergency stop in your face" shot is by far my favorite Spark video segment.
Haha! Yep. 😀
Awesome video thank you Steve i am proud owner of spark the best Full HD drone ever
Thanks and thanks for watching! The Spark is definitely one of the best! 👍

yeah i was surprised when he said that the Otg cable doesnt improve flight distance, it really does.
awesome! Thank you for sharing!
also look into the auto launch, when you dont have to use that yellow slider, much easier and also have no ground touching
Could you describe that more? New owner here.

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. 😀
Great tricks. By the way- Unfortunally 2 axis gimbal in spark discourages me from use it anymore eh
Yeah, I wonder how I will feel after some 3-axis goodness. We will see...
Great video, Never knew the pause button one, will be testing it out tomorrow.
The pause button is my BFF. 😀
Hi, will prop guards lessen flight time at all?
My "non-scientific" testing put it at about 10-15% less flight time but mileage will vary. I did a video on them - th-cam.com/video/2qB2VwZXg20/w-d-xo.html. 😃

@@SteveCoutts I could have saved two drones😑😅
good video. Thank you Steve
Thanks and thank you for watching! Cheers!
Thanks Steve. 👍🏼
Definitely got few tips today.
I thought OTG cable doesn’t work anymore.
The OTG cable was a problem before since you lost parts of the telemetry like the battery level, etc. but has now been fixed with a firmware update.
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.
Excellent info Steve. Thanks, from a seasoned Vet. Thumbs Up!
Another great content from you.. thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching! 😀
Thanks Steve, great stuff!
Thanks for watching! That's a pretty old video now - haha - glad you found it useful. Happy, safe flying! Cheers!
Good information, maybe this drone is the one for me.
Thanks. It was the one for me. 😀
I learned one new thing. That the gimble returns to horizontal position before landing
Me too
Proud owner, but I wish the Spark had a little more ground clearance. I have to use aftermarket leg extensions to give me that.
All i can say is u need this drone!
Yeah, I love it. Great stability and a good camera.
Tip: Launching with the propellers folded can be done, but unfolding them first makes for a much more smoother and accurate take off.
How do you put all the cool designs on the spark
I use different skins. Link to the ones I use are in the description.
Tnx for the info brother
No problem 👍

Thanks! It's a pretty old video now - haha. Thanks for watching and the comment. Cheers!
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. 😀
Learned a couple of things, thanks Steve.
Awesome! 👍
Cheers Steve, great video and much appreciated tips.

Hi sir May i ask you something? i want to ask about Mavic Air and Spark . Will you change drone the spark to Mavic air ? and Why ?
I have no plans to upgrade to a Mavic Air and I am quite content with my Spark. Year after year there will always be a better drone, a better camera, a better phone, etc. For me, it's not about owning the latest and greatest piece of gear, it's about getting the most out of the gear I have. A new camera won't make me a better photographer but getting out there every single day and shooting pictures sure will. 😀👍

Great topics! Thanks!...;)
Thanks for watching!
It’s been a while since you posted much of a video was waiting to see some more of your videos and while the spark is great and I know you love it should think and consider the mavic air as well since it is small and is quite like the spark but keep up with the great videos 👍🏼
Can you please help me with regards to firmware and dji go app version.. keep hearing that the new version is giving problems flying. What is the safe version and firmware for flying. Tha k you
Interesting. I am on the latest app and firmware version and have not had any issues. I am running on iOS though, not sure what mobile OS you are running. My app updates are set to happen automatically and anytime I the app prompts me to upgrade the firmware, I do. I haven't ever had an issue following that protocol. There is always risk anytime you install a new version so, if your experience hasn't been good, then turn off automatic updates on your app and wait a week or two before installing a new firmware. Good luck! 😀
hi steve, usb charging works for spark ?
Yes. It's not very fast but it does work. 😀
Good video but are you ever going to get s Mavic air?
Probably not. I'm quite content with my Spark. Maybe a "Spark 2" though... 😀
Yay! Another spark video!!!
Edit: I heard that some people don’t like the OTG cable with an iPhone. What do you think about OTG cables with iPhone’s? Also, this was a great and useful video!
Haha! Thanks! My OTG cable has been great. I don't use it each and every time, just mostly in the scenarios I describe in the video. It's been rock solid. 👍
Steve Coutts Just wondering, do you mainly use it with an iPhone/ iPad?
Hi Steve.......I read that you can’t use the OTG cable anymore because of the latest updates......is that true?
I use one and it works very well
I've tried otg twice and it didn't seem as stable as the Wi-Fi connection. I have heard that the latest update doesn't like otg. I'm running a galaxy s7.
