[@myangelmemorials]

I so needed this yesterday! I had one of my first flight with beginner mode off. The drone took off by itself and we couldn't control it at all. Only spinning. It was so scary! I love your videos, keep 'em comin'!

This is one of my favorite videos I have watched to help me get started with my Spark. Which, by the way, I have yet to fly.

[@s2s_parrotfan236]

Thanks for the video and taking the time to produce a video of such high quality and content. I'm waiting for the arrival of my Spark and spending a lot of time with the manual and all of the KZbin videos, making sure I'm ready for the eventual "fun" of flight. The manuals are very good, but making the visual connection -when done well as have you- is invaluable. Thanks again.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Anytime buddy! Glad you enjoyed, have fun with your Spark! :)

[@zudhanproductions7887]

The best walkthrough I've seen on YT!

[@mcthurman1880]

I personally thought the video was great. You will always have those who like posting the negative concerning anything anybody presents. But this video really helped me as a novice. Thank you for taking your time to present.

[@theglobetrottergp683]

Great video! Just got mine today and needed a quick lesson as only time for 1 practice session before i head to sicily for .a week! Think I'll be staying in beginner mode all holiday!!!

[@DroneSupremacy]

That's a good way to start, kudos for not rushing into the more advanced settings! Enjoy your stay in Sicily :)

[@rolandbrooks467]

Fantastic vid, so full of info,, everything charged so looking forward to seeting my Spark up and flying,,

[@MarkKerton]

Great video, thanks for the info. I’ve just started flying a spark, 3 videos on my channel so far. I’ve been shooting at 30fps. Do you recommend fitting a filter to the camera to improve quality? Thanks, Mark

[@poggi747]

I just got my Spark today. Thanks for the video it was very straight forward.

[@DroneSupremacy]

That's what I was aiming for - I'm glad you liked the video :) Enjoy your Spark, Carl!

[@gewizz2]

did you like the spark?

[@usernamemykel]

Excellent. Liked and subbed. Tomorrow will be flight #2 for "Spark One".

[@DroneSupremacy]

Best of luck mate! :) And thanks for subscribing!

[@whatsup7202]

Enjoy! It's a great drone...

[@whatsup7202]

You are an awesome teacher. Thank you.

[@HaIPeHaOP]

Good job mate, that's what I needed! I really didn't want to test all these options just by trial and error, not to mention that the battery lasts only 15 minutes so it's a limited time to discover some hidden features. Thanks!

[@ronboisvert7064]

Thanks for this. Just picked one up and this is a perfect and informative walkthrough.

[@raspberrypiploy771]

Brilliant thanks !! One question is there course lock on the Spark. I get a bit disorientated and have used Course Lock on another drone and it was invaluable.

[@philbuglass4857]

Thank you... Most 'start-up' videos jump straight to flying... My Spark should be delivered tomorrow, so this was very useful!

[@DroneSupremacy]

+Phil Buglass thanks Phil! Yeah, that was the point, I thought it might be useful for some :) have fun with your Spark!

[@warwickchuck1]

Fabulous! I only yesterday taken delivery and this presentation has been excellent. I’m sure to be watching several times to get mine all set up. Excited. Thanks Warwick

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks for the kind words Warwick! Wish you the best of luck with the Spark ;)

[@rfen56]

Outstanding video! I'm taking my Spark to the Florida Keys for 10 days and I want to learn as much as I can before that - I have right at 2 hours of flying time with mine and have had a blast with it. You are a good and natural talent with these videos, keep up the good work!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks Richard, 2 hours is a solid start! I hope you have learned more from the video and will put it into good use. Have fun in Florida Keys, you should be able to capture some stunning shots!

[@leosefcik]

Outstanding move

[@paulbiezing2686]

Thank you, well done I learned a lot as a new pilot

[@CaiShuRen]

Fantastic video. Everything is well explained, one of the best I have seen.

[@elzorro7235]

The DJI tutorials are crap. Your video is great. Has the right amount of information. Thank you.

[@whatsup7202]

Yeah. This has much more info.

[@bensonbaluyot]

Nice and great.keep sharing new videos.thumbs up sir mike

[@Disheartened6]

"super silky smooth" xD

[@kingj3242]

New sub here, keep up the great content

[@gigifaraci]

Great walk through! Thanks so much for taking the time

[@cesaraugustolopezramirez]

hey sorry ! How do you turn on the option to see on the screen the Capacity of video and when you change to pictures to see the format ?

[@stevennanton]

Good video, but you left out something. When setting up your Spark and the remote, you are asked to click on a button on the DJI Go4 app to link the drone with the remote. This process times out after 60 seconds. For some reason, I cannot get my Spark and remote to link. I am using a wired connection between my phone and the remote. I was finally able to link the two using the Spark's WiFi, but not by using the wired connection. Any tips? Btw, after several tries, I had updated my Spark's firmware using the DJI Assistant 2 on my PC.

[@mrjohntitanic1]

Hi having bought a spark I still haven’t taken it out to fly I’m kind of scared to lol?? What should I do on my first flight ? I would like you to do a first flight check for me please , I would really appreciate it kind regards John,from uk

[@chanhuatlow4410]

I bought a Spark Combo set a couple of days ago and your video clip is very informative. Thanks a lot for your initiative to share your experience with others in the same field. May I know what will happen if i happen to charge my remote controller and battery is dead when half way flying. Can my drone come back automatically? Thanks and have a nice evening.

[@howardstover4641]

I lost my Spark about a year ago. I was told there would be a Spark II coming out this Spring. What is the status of the new Spark two?

[@nighthawk0077]

There is no status as it is vaporware. I hope they release it, but honestly I would just buy another Spark. Prices are so good now! I got mine for $220

[@liamoshannessy5087]

Thanks mate, this really helpful

[@DroneSupremacy]

You're welcome Liam! :) Glad it helped!

[@PhilipFrancomb]

Tap fly is my favorite because it flys at a steady speed without having to judge the sticks, whilst enabling you to make other course adjustments.

[@DroneSupremacy]

You're right Philip, it definitely has its own pros. Maybe I should start using it more :)

[@norainelo9918]

Your videos are so inspiring especially for someone like me who wants to start using drones :)

[@reynoldbhikarry7631]

Excellent job my friend on this and the other videos. I learnt a lot Thanks

[@DroneSupremacy]

Very glad to hear, this is my goal :)

[@donphilippbar411]

Excellent video

[@joshmilhench2681]

Very helpful video and easy to understand and well explained keep it up

[@dennisnevin4511]

Great video

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks Dennis! :)

[@christiannepogie5937]

Mister this is an AWESOME Video. I just recently bought spark and got plenty of questions but you answer majority of them. The only thing I wanted to ask you is, it’s kinda confusing to me when trying to determine if the aircraft is facing you or facing forward when it’s already far away from your home point. You know that it kinda goes in reverse depending on where the gimble is facing. So, that scares the heck out of me. Any advice please? Thank you again for taking the time sharing your video.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey Christian! My best tip would be to look at the lights of the drone (on the bottom), or simply try to use the video on the screen of your phone/tablet to kinda orientate better where the drone is facing. When you are far away and you can't see it, you can also see the arrow on the bottom left corner of the app which shows you which way the drone is facing. I hope that helps! Good luck! :)

[@christiannepogie5937]

OMG! You are amazing. I really appreciate your answer, its very helpful... Cant's wait to see more of your vids Thanks a lot!

[@joebloome2660]

Very informative video! I have never flown a drone other than a “toy type” . Not much control or fun. This Spark is now several years old now. I recently found the Spark only at a price of $199.99. Great price! Do you recommend this drone for learning to fly considering that I have virtually no experience and am 67 years old? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Than you sir.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey Joe! Yes, i'd absolutely recommend the Spark as your first "real" drone. It's perfect for beginners. I say go for it :)

[@joebloome2660]

Drone Supremacy thank you. I am thinking that I will get it tomorrow. If not today.

[@joebloome2660]

Drone Supremacy I got it today. The Remote controller was included along with a case and a few other things. Great price at $199.00

[@thabomatlebe1916]

Its been a week now i been going through your vids as i owe tello also for a week now,awaiting spark probably will get tomorrow bt u gv 100% educational when i first saw your Vid i mistaken You With Nemanja Matic of Man U....my son agreed as well.......Its Morisky All The Way From South Africa

[@dennisclark8766]

Excellent

[@mohammedawad6806]

Hi, menn, i understand you do this for 2 months ?! first of all you doing great ! I like your videos, learned from you..3 days ago i got my Sparky combo with 4 batterys for only €250..ps: may be you have good tips for me, i want start KZbin channel this summer ;) thanx by advance..keep doing the good work..happy days & flights :;))

[@Burasta]

I lost a spark as I had Return to Home at Current Altitude on but it needs to by near the home point otherwise it just lands where it is. I was flying over a forest from a higher point. I lost wifi signal as it was landing and couldn't override it.

[@sergedcruz9158]

great video.Thanks

[@claretbaluyot573]

The bule one is dope.but i love the white dji spark

[@alanjackson4646]

Good, straight forward video, thanks AJ

[@hziemba]

How does the Spark do on relative closeups? I'm looking for a drone that will let me check out the gutters on my house, to see if they're clogged, and if so, where the blockage is...without getting on a ladder. I have a couple of lower end drones and those cameras do not let me view down at all, and even then I can't get very close without running into the house. Could you post such a video, or point me to one that already is posted? TIA

[@Fly_by_Night]

Check out this video. It has some indoor flying with closeup shots. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4G6goWHpa2aqsU

[@craigweston5887]

One of the best videos on the Spark I have seen yet. But... you did not fully explain the Home Point settings. What is the other symbol for?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks CJ! The first symbol sets the HomePoint as the aircraft's current position, and the second option sets the Home Point as the controller's current position (meaning you, if you're holding the controller).

[@craigweston5887]

Thank you.

[@jspinosa50]

WOW!! Thanks!

[@mrek2068]

Brilliant video.

[@jamesdewer]

I wonder how many people went out, never flew a drone, bought this and, promptly lost it in the ocean. They are probably still paying it off. Start out with an MJX B2W or a cheap drone to learn on. Make your mistakes on that. I waited like 6 months and got one of CL for less than half. Good luck! Learn to do a high speed banking turn in a figure 8 pattern, keeping your altitude the same.

[@jinglemich4941]

Thanks.

[@coyross701]

What do you do if the DGI GO 4 DOES NOT OPEN

[@DonPeugot]

I like your videos! You're down to earth, explaining everything in detail but with an objective view - and your shots look absolutely stunning.

[@DroneSupremacy]

I'm super happy to hear that, thanks so much for the kind words!

[@Benji-fz4ow]

Merci et bravo

[@DroneSupremacy]

Merci Ben!

[@flymoon24]

Hi, Thankyou for your informative video. I am proposing using Huawei with the Android app. You say that Android is not so stable as IOS. How serious is the difference as I wish to avoid having to purchase buying an IOS phone?

[@DroneSupremacy]

It's not that dramatic - after all, many people use Android and are flying just fine. Some occasional bugs appear here and there, but it's not a dealbreaker in my opinion!

[@flymoon24]

@@DroneSupremacy Hi I recently watched Drone Valley regarding which and how to use devices for dji products. In short use a dedicated Android device free of apps and irrelavant progs with Android Lollipop and in the case of Apple suggests you should be fine with an Ipad mini 4. I have not tested my Huawei G5 for distance or range . I am hoping a dji store will let me do this. Drone Valley does not advise the use of your mobile or device you use for multi purpose. I notice you are using Apple IOS and therefore suggest you do not really know the performance of an Android device regarding video signal quality and range from a dji spark?

[@flymoon24]

I appreciate and thankyou for your reply.

[@DroneSupremacy]

I've used a OnePlus 3T phone with my drones before, it was OK, but just like you mentioned - there were some small issues. A dedicated device for flying is a good idea, maybe a tablet or a phone that you use simply for flying. I however have never had any problems with using my iPhone 7 plus for flying which is my everyday phone. Good luck mate! :)

[@26Benitojuarezx]

I just wanted to ask what phone/tablet do you use?

[@DroneSupremacy]

iPhone 7 Plus:)

[@raul253rmpr]

The wifi network on mine doesn’t show up. What do I do?

[@Tex2song]

What do I do when it says can't fly

[@John-zt3lv]

Are these theft usable proof? I mean , if someone steals it, can you set it up where they cant make it work. Is that what the passwords for?

[@joshmilhench2681]

jcweb you can change the WiFi name and password in the dji go 4 app

[@tbsbattousai]

my phone shows it's connected to the drones wifi but the app says it's disconnect and that's it. i can go no further....

[@bowhunter8235]

*Spark now has foldable props??? *What is max flight time and disrance? MOST informative so far... *Do you recommend a particular seller? finally, *What is wait time for delivery?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey there! To answer all of your questions: - Yes, the props are foldable and very easy to transport. - Depending on your area and magnetic interference, you might be able to fly up to 2km away - I ALWAYS recommend buying from DJI's official site directly - click.dji.com/AJMkka0GKr3q3rajN0VR?pm=link&as=0005 - Estimated time for delivery - 2 to 5 working days (this is taken from DJI's website) Good luck!

Hello! my english it not good, but i need a help from u. it one week sence i have a dji spark drone, but it does'nt recognize my face, it can't fly even to connect with phone it imposible.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey Joe - maybe it would be better to contact the DJI Support directly so they can help you with your issue - it sounds serious!

Why not use the android, I have a note 3 samsung,what to do.help

[@billmeador215]

Interesting video with some good insight, but I did not see anything about activation or any other of the steps go get the drone flying,.......had mine for 5 days now and still can't activate or get it to work......DJI doesn't seem to have a clue, KZbinrs offer to help but never follow through, and the DJI Forum has failed to offer a viable solution. Flight Time - 0!

[@assault0529]

I only see single shot mode only can u help?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Maybe your sport mode switch (on the controller) is on. move it to the original position and more options will be available.

[@assault0529]

Drone Supremacy i wish it could show me but it is not. Do i have to calibrate or something did i miss in the beginning?

[@Chr1stoval]

Can a 4gb sd card work on the drone???

[@uacl028]

I wish somebody would do a video about the Spark that is even closely relevant TODAY

[@DroneSupremacy]

Check out my videos, I’ve made a recent video about the Spark and whether it’s still good in 2018.

[@akentertainmentlightdecora2541]

Hlo sir im frome india

[@chanhuatlow4410]

Typo error, sorry. If I forgot to charge my remote control set.

[@ViktorTheGamerDK]

I AM THE NUMBER 1.000 LIKE!!!!!

[@Smokey420Greenleaf]

i really wish i could understand why these things only get 16 minutes of flight time.... i know a lot of people out there will jump to DJI's defense saying things like "its all the tech in them that drains the battery so fast!" but thats not the case... my cell phone has a 5,000mAh battery in it yet they're only putting 1400mAh batteries in these drones.... cant be a weight issue as my entire cell phone weighs about half what a Spark's battery alone does., and the only thing the Spark can do that my phone cant, is fly!

[@Bampiss]

Smokey420Greenleaf yup that's the main thing. It's FLY & phone doesn't. It uses a lot of energy rotating the propellers & stabilising against the wind. But yeah 16 minutes is kinda sucks especially if you have only one battery. And charging it took hours!! That's the real issue

[@Smokey420Greenleaf]

eh i still dont find that to be an excuse as they've been making miniature electronic motors for decades that can run off a single double A battery, and I've had racing RC cars that could do up to 60MPH on one motor for over 30 minutes while weighing about 5 times as much as the spark. they're intentionally gimping the batteries as a sales tactic because they know it will keep people spending $70 a pop for 15 more minutes of flight time. the charging time is worse still though, you have that right. my yuneec breeze gets about the same flight time but its battery charges in less than 20 minutes. dont get me wrong, the Spark itself is a great drone for its size class, had mine out over 2 miles away from me the other day, probably could've gone further still if it didnt have to RTH because of battery level though lol.

[@justabill5780]

WARNING!: Do not purchase any DJI product that uses their GO 4 software if your phone, tablet, etc. is running Android software. The latest version of their software is unreliable for Android. I was completely unable to operate my Spark and others on the DJI forum are having dropouts and fly-off problems. And DJI's solution to the problem is to tell people to get an Apple/IOS device.

[@georgeaura]

I was told to use the password on the bottom of the remote

[@joshmilhench2681]

GAproductions that is the password for the remote wifi

[@gewizz2]

imagine a drone that you don't need a tx or phone to use it.
