Here's the link to the OTG cable: amzn.to/2HJgB9Y
Why do you recommend using the cable instead of WiFi?
Toni Del Rio Better range and less video lag on long flights.
Jeven Dovey thanks for your videos. Very much needed and helpful. Question for you: do you have to have that cord to plug into the remote and your phone or can you go without it? Also, do you have to have the micro SD card as well in order to fly? I’m planning on getting these both. But want to make sure if I have to get these first before I fly or if I can get away with flying without them a couple times. Thanks
knocademus what?

Wanderworx has produced the best Spark remote controller tutorial out there. The pairing and sequence of connecting everything is CLEARLY explained step by step. I struggled through 3 other tutorials before I found this gem. Thanks Wander-man!

Yo dude, Im 60 and thanks for the informative video. You cleared up most of my issues with my spark/controller/phone. As I said tks for the simple steps by step.
I just want to say thank uou for these great resources. I bought a spark when i finally felt that i could afford one and its simply great having such great info even though its supposedly obsolete. These videos are the way i finally made my first video after years of wanting a drone.
Even though they are old everything, and i mean everything could have been done yesterday. Thanks again!
I've made 10 TH-cam comments in my life and I had to make one here - this is an awesome video and simple explanation. DJI's own videos with some half-assed male model explaining setup were USELESS in terms of getting me started and incredibly confusing. Good stuff here man cheers.
Agreed! Not sure why he’d get 334 dislikes. I’m guessing either they are his competition or they don’t speak English! 🤣
I was given a Spark Fly More combo as a birthday gift. I was super excited to start learning how to fly... After maybe 4 hours (!!!) of resetting things, reading the (extremely lacking) user guide and swearing and... Well I STILL have not been able to get things working... Just stumbled on this and the first video. Man, there are so many things that aren't even MENTIONED on the guides, no wonder the thing is notoriously difficult to get started with for new owners.
Anyway, after watching your videos I feel like I should be able to actually connect everything and maybe even take off for the first time tomorrow... Thanks!
Here's the link to the OTG cable: goo.gl/xi35Jo
why you turn on your drone before the controller? the opposite is the correct way for safety reason
WanderWorx sds
thank-you for the instructional video. Had a struggle with the IMU calibration but all's good, now. I acquired the OTG connection adapter (no cable) which fit snugly on to the remote and the usb cable was attached to the adapter leading to the phone.
They now make cables that have micro usb to lightning so there is no need for the OTG. Do you simply not like using the connector with the phone's wifi?
WanderWorx RTH Will follow original spark starting position or if u are moving it will follow remote controller ?
Of all those hard to understand DJI videos, yours made the most sense. GREAT !!
Just brought my 1st Drone. A spark, and loving flying it on my 2nd day thanks to your great tutorial videos. Keep up your great work..
I saw a lot of instuctions about pairing the controller to spark and phone. But your instruction is by far the most comprehensible, logical and best one. Thanks for your help.
Awesome! Glad I could help! Happy Flying!
Thanks Jeven, you are the only guy to actually show how to connect the controller to the Spark drone without going through the phone or tablet. Scanning the QR code did not work with my iPhone and the software step to connect another way wasn't available in the new update. It was frustrating until I saw your how-to video. I started having fun afterwards, many thanks.
Just had my Spark for over a week here in Belgium, had problems understanding the controls but not anymore. This your second beginners guide from the Spark and again your video helped me a 100% this time with my contoller and thanxs to your step by step and very detailed help Thx
DJI should be paying you for your videos. Very informative. I haven’t received my Spark yet, but I feel quite a few steps ahead for having watched these videos. Thanks!!
I haven't fly my Spark over 2 years and I even forgot how to turn these things on lol. Thanks for the video again.
I never leave comments, and you are the reason I bought a DJI Spark & I'm LOVING IT!! Thank you for these videos. Love them. I was filling out your survey but I'm in a different category. I'd love a trip learning about Adventure Filmmaking. I'm a podcaster/radio host who makes videos to supplement my on air time. I'm not booking jobs per say, but I record & edit on a pretty regular basis. I'd love a trip like yours just to see your daily process on content creation from start to finish. If you then added the how's & why's as you go along I'd be in. Thanks.
Awesome! I'm working on putting it together now. If I can get enough people interested then I'll send you an email with all the info :)
Thank you.... I don't think I could have set up & been ready as fast without your video ... big thumbs up
So I've watch about 20 videos and yours was the only one that actually got my drone off the ground!!! Thank you so much!!!
😀😀😀
dude. this was SO helpful. i was frustrated in manuals and pairing and back and forth. i watched your video and was flying within about 2 minutes. thank you
😊😊
All of the spark videos that I have seen have really helped. Thanks!
Best info ever, i looked at many sites to give me info on spark , yours was by far the simplest, clearest and most detailed of them all!
thanks, great stuff, keep it up
Very well presented. Engaging, and keeps the viewer's attention. Thank you for what I would call a "monkey see monkey do". Tutorial that saves time so you can get on with flying your done.
I have just bought a DJI Spark and your video is very useful and informative for beginners in particular. Thanks very much for sharing and have a nice day.
Just got a Spark. I've been learning a lot from your videos. Thanks.
My school English is not 100% but I was able to follow it quite well, of course I have to repeat several times and look at this instruction, I will soon be 74 years old and have never fled any plane or drone with one remote control. But I have in any case dared to buy a DJI SPARK ALPINE and fly, after looking at this nice instruction a few times more! /Tommy Högberg, Sweden
This is the best vid for getting going. I come back here often.
Thank you so much man. Tried figuring it out through DJI tutorial videos for an hour and they make it so confusing. I figured out what I needed to know within 30 seconds during this video
I just bought one of these and i have to tell you that your tutorials are excellent. Thank You very much for your videos. I am just amazed at the technology involved woth this and, thanks to you, im learning how to use all these cool and impressive features.
Thanks for making this video, It saved me from reading the manual. Just got my controller today, it's a must have.
I finally found what I was looking for! Couldn't find someone to explain the remote the way you did. You are amazing and extremely helpful. You make it very easy to understand how everything works!!! Thank you so much I'm subscribing to your channel for sure!!!
Awesome thank you!
This video and the complete introduction to the Spark tutorial are the best I have found. Great job showing ALL of the details for the both app and the remote options, features and use!
One of the simplest spark guide videos Thanks
Very detail and up to date. Easier to understand than DJI tutorial videos. Thank you so much.
Thank You!
First of all I want to say thank you very much, I purchase the DJI spark, and thanks to your video tutorial, I was able to have my first successful flight, there was no way I would have figured out the connections between the drone the controller and my phone, well maybe eventually but it would have taken me a while, I love your enthusiasm trying to help people like me LOL, again thank you thank you.
Thank you, your video really help me, I bought the combo pack, but have not touched my spark in a few months, and the the controller and the spark lost were not connected any more, i bib what you said to do, it worked. Thank you again!
Great tutorial. Glad I found your channel. Just got my Spark this week. Your videos have been incredible.
Just got a new Spark ... you saved my life! So easy to follow your instructions! Thank you!
I was furious with trying to set up my controller to my spark and couldn’t figure it out so thank you for this video which explained everything perfectly and got me up and flying within minutes.
Best Spark beginners guide
Thank You! Flying and editing tutorials are coming next!
Really enjoy all of your tutorials and so happy to see the 3 Toed Sloth sitting behind you, shows class.
Awesome I found you on TH-cam. I’m traveling abroad in September 2019 for 2 weeks and I plan on buying the DJI Spark fly more combo in about a week or so. I will view all your videos from this quick introduction on to more advanced tutorials and I’ll also practice a lot like you said.
Clear, concise and thorough. Thanks for doing this. Also liked how you edited this video. Great job.
Thanks a lot! I’m getting Spark with fly more kit in a couple of weeks and that helped me clarify some things such as connecting your phone to controller, customize controls, etc. Thanks so much!
my guy thanks for this video as newbie to the drone community this really helped.
Thanks for the many videos. I watched most of the several times and you helped me to decide on the Spark. I had issues (user) setting up the remote, so I went back to Mr Reliable and issues resolved. THANKS !!!
i finally got a spark and im pretty pleased with it. its simple and easy to used
Very good introductory guides which are well presented and clear
Great instructions. All of your tutorials are awesome. Keep up the great work.
Excellent tutorial Jeven! Just went right out before I even closed this video out. I have been playing with some cheap more than a toy, not close to THIS! I'll be watching your advanced stuff now. I'm dying to use the gesturing. May have to pick up some JD merch in appreciation. Great job Bro! Next video
Thanks!
@@JevenDovey Bro why do I need OTG cable? cant I just connect my app to RC and RC to spark. I use android phone.
Thank you so much for these videos! I bought the Spark Fly More Combo and was so frustrated with the directions for the first 48 hrs that I thought of returning the whole thing....Who prints directions that small?.... and they were worthless! I followed your video and I got the thing synced-up to the Controller and flying! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Super clear .. super helpful. Thank you Jeven.
You have the best tutorials out there-
GREAT video Jeven !!! i got me a spark combo and was searching and searching to get it up in the air i almost explode my nerves because it didn't work.....with your video it was up in the air in no time and fully functional !!! BIG BLESSINGS for you my friend !!!!

Awesome glad I could help
Great stuff Jeven! Thank you for your generosity in sharing all your knowledge and putting the time an effort to create these amazing tutorials. Kepp it up bro!
I got DJI SPARK Fly More Combo but I had no idea what to do with it. Thank you for your video! I wish you were in Japan and teach us how to fly it in face to face. I wish I could join an adventure filmmaking trip. You gonna be a great teacher!

Thank You! I really appreciate it
Great vid man. Just got the controller and seeing how it changes what I can do is awesome.
+Go Forward the controller makes such a difference!
You do a great job explaining everything. Thanks
thank you very much for your instruction Javen , god bless you
Jeven this is a great video. I don't comment often but I felt compelled to give you a high five. Concise, relevant, concise, easy to follow, concise, to the point. Just good information without a bunch of superfluous points/opinions. Keep up the good work! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I'm hoping you do a tutorial on how to auto fly a circle around an point. I'd love to learn that capability. Blue Skies, Jeff oh and thx for showing us how to properly deploying the antennae I WAS having loss of signal issues. No more.
I thank everyone who is wonderful and courteous. I am happy to participate in my channel and wish him absolute happiness
very cool, don't have any DJI products but love learning anyways.thanks for sharing
Well done, great for me, just bought my Spark. First drone....second hand, but I'm ready to fly, thanks to you.
Thanks for doing these vids, it is helping me a lot, big thumbs up from the UK!
+Isaac Isaac Fortuin glad I could help. Let me know if you want me to cover any other topics
Really thankful to you, your hard work, to teach us.
Big respect,to u your channel,
From India
Thank you for the video. I just ordered the DJI Spark and just waiting for it to arrive. But this tutorial certainly will help me get started.....Also, a heads up to others DJI just released it's latest FIRMWARE UPDATE a few days ago to the SPARK. So, to everyone out there...get the newest FIRMWARE. In DJI Support site looks like there may still be some issues with the firmware update on ANDROID devices but seems to fix quite a few issues on iPhone IOS. Fortunately, I use the iPhone.....More detail on DJI Support site.
Cool. Always update your drone to the newest Firmware to avoide issues :)
I watched both of your videos about the DJI Spark, great videos, Thanks!
You are the best guide on the tube.. Thank you, you have really helped me setting up my Spark...
I've watched many Spark videos but none comes close to yours in clarity and usefulness. You are a super teacher. I am having so much fun flying and now I have to get better at shooting at the same time! One question, can you use the quick shot functions while using the controller?
+Susannah Sofaer Kramer thank you so much! Yes you can use all the auto functions with the controller.
This was a great video. Just bought my fly more combo yesterday. Thankfully my S8+ came with adapter for the USB connection, which save my butt.
Awesome videos , super helpful I got the Combe a few days ago and have been struggling with set up. I feel confident I will get it all set up today from your help, Thanks
Wow...thank you...complete lack of info with the unit, and you are making my day!
😊😊😊😊
Outstanding. Thanks. Ecuador is incredible, we just went for two days. Beautiful.
+Barry Shapiro Ecuador is amazing! I can’t wait to go back!
Great video, I got my spark 3 days ago and not flew it yet, but after watching this video I now feel confident to give it a go
Derek Comer awesome. Coming out with a beginners guide to cinematic footage and editing next 😀
WanderWorx just watched your 1st video about celebrating the drone and return home night etc. I want to be as ready and confident as possible b4 my 1st flight. Of to the Caribbean in 4 weeks time so want to be confident to fly b4 I go
I'm more a photographer. Fuji xt1 Fuji x70, Gopro hero 5 black and a Canon G7X in my camera bag. And now a Spark lol
Great videos. Have subscribed so please keep them coming
Thank You! I'll be coming out with editing tutorials and flying videos for the spark next :)
Thanks for the great videos. Just ordered mine. Can't wait to use it with all the information you provided.
good vid. i just got a spark this vid is helpful thanks a bunch.
Thank you very much for your great instruction
Your tutorials are the best bro... keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to make them
thank you once again, Javen Dovey
Great guide! My small little tip is that if you connect your phone to the controller via OTG cable, the phone will automatically launch DJI GO 4 app.
Good to know. When I made this video it didn't do that
Thinking of getting one of these. Your tutorial was excellent and should be a confidence booster to any new Spark pilot. Thanks!
Dude, your videos are really great. Thanks a lot!!
Thanks!
Good tutorial: quick, to the point, informative. Keep up the good work.
Jeven, thanks for a fantastically thorough tutorial!! I just received my Spark and am waiting for more stuff to come to complete what I think is the complete system for me! Your video is very professionally done and of course, technically thorough. I'll be watching this a lot more I'm sure before I take it out and crash it! Did I say that out loud? Thanks again man!!!!
needed help with pairing RC with Spark…..easy after watching your video….thanks no more frustration.
Great video tutorials for the Spark! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your videos and the videos in this whole playlist of Spark, they can still help me in year 2019!
very good tutorial thanks clear and easy
Another great tutorial! I like how you mentioned that all those other controls on the left we could see in your beginner tutorial, which I just watched. Excellent job and boy oh boy, this controller looks like a "must have', if we want to fly further than about 100 yards, plus the usability of it and extra features. I love the switch to map thing you can do. Marc.
Excellent as always - thanks dude
This video and the previous video were VERY helpful with me after i unboxed my DJI spark combo kit and prior to my first flight!! BTW I use a Samsung S7 and I had NO major issues viewing or pairing with my RC or flying. Thanks again!!
Thanks a lot for the info in connecting my controller to the spark. I had to do it a couple of times.
This video was really helpful. I’ve been having issues getting the controller to work properly but I think that it was user error. Great video, thanks.
Simply fantastic.
Thinking of getting one this week. Thanks for the video
Thanks for this tutorial. It is realy detailed clear and very comprehensive. You are a pro ! Can't wait to see your next videos about your travel in Equator.
I am not even done watching this video and he already made my life smoother.
Thanks man your videos have been really helpful👍🏻
Extremely helpful
IMHO the manufacturer's instruction are whoefully inadequate. This video is a godsend.. Thank You,
