Although they seam easy, I always recomend that new pilots reach out to your neighboring AMA RC clubs. They are the best resource to help you get started safely and aviod a crash or worse an accident.

[@michelvanmen6563]

I believe by loosing the Drone u actually made a very helpful video as to what not to do with a Drone, compared to what all it can do - something which would be more relevant and useful for a first time user. Great video - Cheers.

[@noahzsol]

rahul singh I'm getting one without a remote and this video was actually exactly what I needed. Your Spark died for our sins.

[@LeslieDudley41]

I will order 2 sets here sites.google.com/site/MiniDrone101

[@PhannyObsession]

You didn't lose it because of a weak GPS signal. You lost it because you didn't wait for the Home point to be updated. When you start up a DJI Drone, you should always wait for it to say 'Home Point updated. Check the Map...' When it lost signal, went up and flew away, it was because it was going to the last HomePoint it had confirmed. If you can imagine a straight line between where it flew off from and the last Home Point (if you can remember it), it will be on that line somewhere

[@CYCLEGAMER1]

Very smart idea, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe is was heading to the last home point.

[@jinglemich4941]

Phanny Obsession Not sure if this is true but it definitely sounds viable. Bump.

[@jinglemich4941]

Also, even if it rained the spark still could be OK. I saw some guy who dropped a mavic into a lake, after 5 days got it out, and it still worked. I think it could have survived a month outside.

[@deuces2k]

Phanny Obsession totally agreed. Looks like it flew to rth altitude.

[@chosenbydestiny]

Also, he obviously didn't read the manual. You can check where your drone is with the record and built-in map so you can walk over to that point and find where it crashed. It'll record the entire flight path so it doesn't matter if the drone is on or off. Complete ignorance with his complaints.

Did you check the roof of the building it disappeared behind?

[@natbug3891]

fatproduce that what I was thinking I bet it did who knows 🤔🤔

[@fatproduce]

Nathan Hill Yeah it could have landed on the roof of that building or one along the flight vector last seen.

[@banino9295]

fatproduce he should cuz even when it's really bad GPS only fucks up for a bunch meters

[@TheMrMobile]

First place I looked. But it was well above the building's roof when it decided to go on a flight, so we checked for many blocks along the vector. Hell, it could even be on a roof much further away than we searched.

[@dejnbup]

You need a drone to find a missing one

[@boukarabbamoussa5379]

Dude your drone is not lost. I’ve been using Dji drones since the 1st phantom & still own the magic pro, inspire pro ( black edition) & my latest addition the inspire pro-2. This is what I think happened 👉 you took off with a low signal warning meaning the bird didn’t have enough time to lock the home point so the bird try to go back home to the last home lock point which is by default the home pointing of the last place you flew the bird prior to the day you lost it.

[@johnnymark8888]

I agree, that's exactly what happened! Must wait for the roaming satellites to lock on and confirm!

[@joshgundlach6253]

I was coming here to say the same thing

[@MJFhobby]

@Viet Vo check dynamic home point

[@DarkSideoftheMoon2022]

I have lost my Inspire1 similar way. But, the map of my controller still showed me the location of the drone. Because after the drone landed at anywhere due to lack of power, it was still in turned-on state. So, my controller could trace the signal (it was about 1km distance) and guided me to spot the point. I found my Inspire1 landed peacefully unharmed on the rooftop of a factory!

Alex river well said buddy !!! FIND MY DRONE IN THE APP YOU NUMPTIE 😂😂😂

[@dvrapant]

Look, if he didn't read any directions or even bother to check a few videos on KZbin or on the DJI website than how would he know that? Maybe they need to program the drones to teach people how to use them before they will actually take off.

[@sgreene8081]

Look at your flight log in the DJI app. You'll see where you've flown and landed/crashed.

[@SammyOdds]

Oh man! I've had a $400 phone slide out of my pocket in a bus (LG Optimus G way back when), lost every single watch I have ever owned and even one time lost a memory card _that was in my hand_. But never have I seen a piece of tech fly away that defiantly from its master. If this is the beginning of the Robot Revolution then Michael Fisher will go down in history as the human who started it all...

[@MackV99]

The drone speeding away was hilarious, wouldn't you think it may have had landed on the roof of the building?

[@mohanadtaha95]

Sorry about your losssss, i lost my phantom last month and i feel so sad. but you can try to find the drone by finding the coordinates from dji go

[@jordanmntungwa3311]

Your drone was like 'Shit.. He's not connected, I'm in the air and I actually don't have to listen to you anymore! you're not my dad!'

[@NeverMindYourOwn]

There is a feature in the DJIGo app called 'Find my drone'. It gives you a map with your position and the (last known) position of the drone as long as it has battery and you can connect to it.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

I have seen countless drone videos and your video as usual is probably the best drone video I'v seen. Keep up the great work.

[@lismorris5370]

Wise words. I almost lost my Spark today using the return to home function. I was flying it when the battery got low, and the return to home initialised. I had a good GPS signal, so I thought I'd just let it find its own way back. However, it got hit by a headwind on the way back and obviously decided 'Welp, battery's nearly out, I'm gonna land here instead!' I watched it descend while crying 'Nononono stop that!' It then landed in a bunch of boggy tall rushes and mud because it hates me. To be fair, it did land safely and without a scratch, but I had to vault over a fence and squelch through a marsh to find it. Thankfully, I had the remote, and I could track its position, and I found it fairly quickly, albeit with very wet feet. The kicker? Due to the fact it ran out of battery while filming, the film was corrupt and unusable. Bah. So guys, don't let your Spark get close to running out of battery! It might decide to find another owner!

[@eterito]

Can I track it's position if I don't have a remote?

[@lismorris5370]

Yes, you can. There are two ways: if it has plenty of battery, you can use the 'find my drone' function on the home page of the app. This will make the lights flash and the drone will beep. If you have run out of battery, you can use the flight records that you can access under the 'Me' tab. You can replay your last flight and see the last recorded gps position of the drone. In the video above, though, this would not have helped, since they had poor GPS. The Spark was likely nowhere near where the flight records would say it was. If you get a poor GPS warning, bring your drone back MANUALLY and land it. Whatever you do, don't use Return to home with a poor signal.

[@billydolmen]

I think this video would give really good insight for the DJI team to create more complete emergency situation features like you explained. Hope you could regain what you've lost, Michael. Cheer up!

[@DJMotoVlogs]

Don't fly over close to the roof tops of big buildings. All the electronic components and elevator equipment on the roof will mess with the compass and make drone act crazy. Ask me how I know. lol

[@thekafe1219]

A really really good tip on how not to lose your drone is disable (or don't ever enable/be cautious) of the feature where "Home" changes on the fly wwhile you're moving. I was walking around with my drone and flying and before I knew it when the battery was running low, I sent it to home and i realized it had selected a very new home for me! (Which totally isn't the drones fault. I enabled that feature because it gives me more range and freedom, but yes, that's that's the one con) Be careful and have fun!

[@AnandRao19]

400k subs! CONGO FISHER!☺️🥁

[@TheMrMobile]

Thanks very much!

[@shy2papa]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] sorry about the drone DJI should have also added solar panel to the top of the drone to help with the battery and a software update to tell the drone to ho back to starting point if it loses signal.

[@avinashrai11141]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Is it legal to fly drones in your city?

[@emTom]

Ahmed, it LOST it's GPS signal too, it could NOT tell where it is, it tried to go home but it didn't know where it is.

[@shy2papa]

***** yeah nothing that a software update couldn't fix, the signal got lost when its was going up thats when the drone should have descended back to its location.

[@rt3156]

I'm sure whether I buy a D Brand skin or not, they'll be more than able to absorb the cost of this loss one way or another. Thanks for the humility and advise just the same.

[@vietd.3575]

guys free drone in boston !!! come and get it !!!

[@smoothitalianleathereater6045]

Dude that made my morning thank you. The view of it "going home" over that building is comedy gold

[@sulphuricacid16]

drone makers should put a radius control program in the drone so if a drone tries to run away it won't get out of the defined radius

[@kokhowe]

There is an option in the dji go app that defines the max distance that you allow it to fly.

[@teamgartz-motorsports6881]

Nabeel Khan it have the radius distance limit, you can change in the app. But if the gps signal isn't good, it will fail anyway without the rc

[@rueben1001]

It does have this :)

[@dvrapant]

Maybe they should program the drones to be a brick until you pass an online test proving you know what the hell your doing before you try to review a product your completely clueless about.

[@pdtech4524]

As I drone pilot myself, I would recommend first buying a cheap drone before getting something as advanced as the dji spark, get some flight time in and learn to pilot a drone, learn how the weather can affect your flight, learn how the environment you fly in can affect the drone etc I noticed several mistakes, flying near buildings and trees, definitely a no no for a novice, wide open park or field and practise practise practise before you get too technical with your drone flight. Also remember your smart phone has next to no range especially in a heavily built up area full of wifi signals, so your drone will easily disconnect, fly out in an area with no wifi signals, you will find much better range even on a smart device, alternatively buy the controller, which is much safer. Also learn about the limitations of your drone, ie range, flight time, and how the gps and RTH works, also understand how to use the app and how to understand the information it is giving you, all the warnings are given to you, an advanced drone will tell you before the signal gets too weak, it will tell you when the battery is getting too low etc it will even warn you that there are not enough satelites for a safe flight! There is a 'find my drone' feature built into the dji app, not sure how that works but im sure there are lots of tutorials online. Enjoy your future flights and look after your new sparky. Fly safe....

[@SigneofHorses]

your dry humourous narrative made my smile all through this video. Sad you lost your Spark..

[@infopede]

Great point. That's one thing I don't think of, is to always make sure you liftoff with a good signal so it can find its way home. I'll remember that. 👍

[@alifarahat]

we love you D brand Mr. Mobile tried his best.

[@Jess_Smith0903]

That same thing happened to me WHILE USING THE CONTROLLER. Now I’m scared of ever flying it in any type of setting that endanger the gadget, which completely defeats the purpose of having a drone in the first place. So frustrating!

[@DanteFlores]

Should I sell my phantom 3 standard to get the spark?

[@TheMrMobile]

This was actually my first drone so I can't weigh in on that! But I'll have more thoughts on the full review.

[@DanteFlores]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 🤤🤤🤤 you responded. I didnt think that would happen

[@JRthepyroguy]

Dante Flores if you sell it save that money and put some more money into a mavic. way better than the spark. and its just a little bigger.

[@FAQUERETERMAX]

jr_1322 1322 You can't control a mavic with your hand.

[@DirtyLew42]

Dante Flores ehh maybe. U won't get all that much money from it and it als has better footage (the standard). But it also depends on what u are using it for. If for hobby but still want good footage, phantom 3. If only need is travel and simple selfies, spark.

[@Eurisko1975]

DJI Go has feature called "find my drone" which you can use to locate your drone as long as it is turned on. So yes, it does have a locator built into it.

[@victorthegee2652]

[@DirtyLew42]

U have to contact FAA btw when u crash and or lose ur drone. Other wise they can track ur drone back to u and fine u up to 300000 dollars or prison. (That is not a typo btw). Also if u didn't register it and place ur id number for the drone on it the same could happen. It is just above the weight minimum defining toy aircraft so it must be registered just like a phantom would. Also take his advice seriously. People who are ignorant like him (at first) are ruining this super cool hobby and/or job for everyone else and it really sucks. So pay close attention to the manuals and such and fly in unobstructed open spaces until u are able to fly well. Also don't be an idiot.

[@wopwopkross]

FAA sucks

[@DirtyLew42]

wopwopkross I guess they are a little harsh but this keeps idiots out of the hobby so that we don't endanger the public with drones crashing into people due to pilot error. U could say it's the drones fault but I own the phantom 1 from dji (it came out in about 2011 or 12 I believe) and I have yet to crash it. So the rules and laws from the FAA are completely necessary to keep this hobby alive. Thank god they are here bc they put Casey Neistat in his place after all of the fly away he's caused. (In the city that is where there are maned aircraft everywhere along with buildings and people so a flyaway can end very badly.$

[@MrChomiq]

It doesn't when you get idiots flying drones into apartment windows.

[@EnzoM]

Actually, the Phantom 3 Standard in some ways is cheaper because it comes with a remote, but you have to buy the remote separately with the spark. The spark is definitely newer and has more features though.

[@steve-xt1zg]

captain "twodrones" anyone????

[@TheCatsa]

If you look on the DJI app there is a "find my drone" option. In the option you can also tell it to flash the lights to help see it when downed. The drone will send you a GPS coordinates to its location. Its possible you did not have the latest software. Always make sure you have the latest before you fly. Always calibrate the compass if you are flying in a new location too. Cheers.

[@Samuel-sc8ir]

[@are-leaf88]

sorry for the lost of MrSparky, but there precaution for other from losing their drones, nice review and hoping youll reach the 1mil subs soon

[@DanielMooreDJ]

You can find the location of your drone using the track location on the app

[@andoo82]

There is a function on the DJI GO 4 app which has "find my drone." It will show the position on a map and can make beeping noises as well as flashing leds

[@Scotian280]

Really well presented video. I love your sentence construction and presentation skills. Also really great advice. So simple but I never thought about a tile or even putting my phone number on the drone! When my Spark arrives next week I will do exactly this. Great channel mate!

[@Petanifer]

Always keep a visual on the drone. Most beginners love to fly the drone out far away until it’s out of sight because, well, it’s cool. But honestly, you don’t ever really have a NEED to take it very far to get the shot you want. Also, RTH is a cool feature but shouldn’t be used in a place with large structures nearby. Or in any populated area. You should always have the ability to fly the drone back without even looking down at the screen. If you can’t do this, you’re putting too much faith in the GPS, return to home, and other smart features. They are designed as a fail safe, not as a crutch to being an educated, skilled operator.

[@psivewri]

I lost my drone recently but thankfully I put my name and number on it.

[@PhilThach]

Any chance the skin also weakens the signal? It certainly adds to flight weight. Looks hella cool though!

[@belleaerials3047]

It probably attempted to fly to the last recorded home point since it didn't have a chance to update the home point.

[@kevinbailey8827]

That's how I lost my Phantom 2 Vision+. Basically on my first real flight. Definitely pilot error (No GPS lock. I didn't know what the blinking lights meant). I bought it again, and it was a great drone. My Spark arrived today. So far I've only flown it in gesture mode, but I hope to get to know more of the features this weekend.

[@jedithusnbixby2108]

The DJI spark has a find my drone feature.... Which gives you the last updated gps spot and an option to enable esc beeping to find it

[@DonalMountain]

Very helpful video! Were you able to figure out why it flew away? Had the home point been set incorrectly?

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

You could also get Dymo Labellers to sponsor your next video about the DJI Spark. This is the first thing I use when I by or build a new drone. At about $20 or less its the cheapest long term hope for regaining your aircraft.

[@locatingme1560]

Great video advise! thanks. You should try to stick the LOC8ING iBeacon tag on your next spark - it will allow you to look for it using only BT from multiple phones ( so that few people can look for it at the same time). the detection distance is about 200 ft in open space. i always fly my RC's with the LOC8ING tag as backup for any emergency.

[@beegtube26]

Skin looks awesome but I wonder if it somehow weakens the wifi/gps signal as you move it around.

Bummer dude! Truly it is, especially when it's a loaner, but I just wanted to thank you for doing this video. These are some really good tips, and like you say, it sounds simple, but so many times, especially in a panic, we can forget or ignore those common sense things. I just wanted to say, that I just watched a video with a guy with a spark and he was able to use something on his ap that allowed him to find the drone. Maybe it was a firmware update he had, but you might look into it. It worked for him and he found his drone. Marc.

You need to configure it so that it automatically returns to the point it lifted off from.

Do you remember how much battery did drone had. i think if it lost signal and started going sideways it didint changed direction. if you know how much battery did it had, you can approximately calculate how far did it go in that direction over the building. i think speed was canstant. so its easier. hope it helps

Thanks for taking your time to produce this tip! I'll be receiving a new Spark soon, and videos like yours are invaluable for noobs like myself! Seriously, thanks!

It have a find my drone option that show the last position in the GPS and allow you to start a noise from the drone. It might help if you're close to it but can't see it. The noise is very low, even wind can make impossible to heard it. Also if the drone is over you don't hit land home, just hit land. It will be safer.

The DJI Go app has a find my drone feature. At least on iOS it does. If your drone gets lost it logs its flight and it's position when it finally lands itself. I pretty much never use the return to home feature. I always land it manually or in my hand. I have heard that the spark has some pretty major issues with android at the moment but they're being worked on.

Idk if this is a new update or something, but I just got the spark about a week ago & it has the “Find my drone” option in the DJI Go 4 app

Sorry about the lost Spark, but I went to the site for the skin from your link, I subscribed, and I Liked. I'm looking forward to more (and happier) videos.

Michael, that drone stayed mobile TOO long! Sorry for the loss, and your ideas for locating it were good.
