Something EVERY DJI Spark pilot should know before they fly - LED Status Indicators

[@MichaelSeneschal]

Great video, man. What I like about your videos is that your main intention is to be informative and helpful. That should be the intent for every KZbin video. Great job.

[@MichaelSeneschal]

Kloo Gee LOL

[@tut4pres]

Just got my spark this Christmas 2017. Very stoked to get flying! But I have to wait for warmer weather. Thank you for the videos!

[@robertworsena4372]

You are one of the best teachers on youtube. Thanks for all your training

[@chward8]

Great info and presentation. What is the true info on the OTG cable issue? Should I not care since nothing seems to have been done with the latest firmware update?

[@tuyen45]

Hi Mr Gee, I have problem need you to help me how to fix my drone with the message on the screen "Vision system error", after my drone fall from the tree, and the head of drone plunged down to ground ? Tom

[@andersonconnell7434]

hi have a spark that was in crash so i replace the camera/ gimbal only but when i power it on the front leds flashes red and go off and gimbal roll axis tilts to the left looking for any answer of what might be wrong . try adjusting this in the app but its not leveling

[@turbotoken1105]

can you help me out please im having gps disconnect problems my spark cannot take off once i power on i get the red green and yellow light but it remain all red all four led stay red without any gps signal i did fireware refresh on the aircrafr but still having the same problem with the gps signal

[@jayphive2468]

What does it mean when all 4 lights are green during flight? This is a new spark through DJI Care Refresh since I crashed the last one. That one never displayed all green during flight.

[@mikepanti9991]

Hi I have a same crash damage as of today how do you get the replacement parts for that? Thanks you

[@PigeonMan5000]

I just got my Spark and updated the firmware for the RC/AC and I still have 4 solid LED's. The app doesn't seem to show any errors that I can see. I may try the DJI Assistant 2 and load the firmware that way to my RC/AC. Nice video btw.

[@Rider0fBuffalo]

The front LEDs are red during flight (so not the back Activity LEDS which are covered in the video). They will turn off if a video is recording. They will turn off for 1 second and turn back on if a photo is taken. This is good to know if you are flying with only the controller (not paired with a phone).

[@rickydrone9274]

Thanks as always. Been lucky with my Spark indoors. When it is in Atti mode, it is absolutely impressive hovering in place. Does not vary one bit from the place it is hovering. Funny about your lens. I had a very minor crash last week and the Spark came down sideways and hit a sidewalk. Two of my lenses popped off but did not break. When I put them back on, they were a tiny bit loose. I was afraid they would come off during a future flight. So, I put the tiniest dribble of glue on the outer rim and both are fine now.

[@timmyilagan]

For compass will it follow when you rotate with the controller?

[@amykarch5472]

Can you do the mavic air? Mine is stuck in a reboot loop he won't even update firmware nor will the binding button/indicator light work at all, and holding down the battery button like I do with the spark for 10 seconds only pauses the boot loop. Dji asst 2 and my computer can barely even recognize it when hardwired.

[@thedancingdutchman2874]

You are spot on! I've seen other videos of the Spark and they are simply wrong. They don't understand the Spark and what it does and is designed to do, as you do. I own a Spark and have learned a great deal from your videos. Thank you.

[@craigjasonb1]

I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I recently purchased a spark and when I hook up a OTG cable it dosent show how many satellites I'm connected to. Is that normal?

[@brendanomara339]

Dude - that was perfect! Love your videos and will continue to watch! These are super helpful! And these are things that are nice to have all in one concise video rather than scattered throughout the manual, if they are even all in the manual! Thanks!

[@LloydLesterIII]

I got a question for you do you know if you can fly a drone over a golf course under 400 feet?

[@user-ll3lc4ek3t]

thanks for the tips .... will be getting my spark by tomorrow . may i know does it work in the other dji drones??

[@user-ll3lc4ek3t]

+Kloo Gee alright tq

[@thawdarmaung2887]

My Spark two front light is not show flash red light. rear two light show red and green alternatively .what happen that?

[@KyleKoehler1]

Kloo Gee can you confirm that I don't have issues... are the red front lights suppose to go out when you are recording video. Yesterday, I was flying my Spark and the red front lights were out (causing me to have issues trying to decide which what it was pointing my visually looking at the spark. While I could still see on the screen which way it was pointing... I couldn't visually see the red lights on front. Today, it was doing the same thing until I realized when I turned off video record... the red light came back on. Can you confirm that during video record the red front lights are suppose to turn off? Thanks, Kyle

[@carinho44]

My spark red leds in front don’t fixes on. I don’t know what’s wrong. The firmware is 0000900.

[@1gr8oil]

Very good information. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

The various light configs are in the manual.

[@timothyedwards5810]

Have you had an issues, post firmware upadate, calibrating the compass? I can't seem to get a steady calibration without it asking for it again and again...........Thanks!

[@ReelFilm2016]

Really Useful video Sir. I couldn't find a better video to explain the status indicators.

[@HughD]

Nice job! It's sometimes better to watch/hear it than just read about it.

[@HughD]

I agree with your comment about reading the manuals. In fact I'll bet a lot of Spark owners think the little stack of booklets that came with it are the manuals and don't realize DJI has a very detailed manual for download and are even on the second version here: www.dji.com/spark/info#downloads

[@kathylittle8]

agree

[@jamesanthonymina5156]

my spark dont have a solid red lights in front. what do you think the problem guys?

[@jonathanmoflori4915]

What happened if one of the engine light is not blinking?

[@richardmiller9752]

Hello. I have a Mavic pro one of the newest one and have great luck. I would like to buy another one, or a different style, can you recommend one for me. I will hold nothing against you. looking at a Autel evo, but lost. I just would like to have two same style but reliable , thanks Rick Miller

[@orangecounty7144]

Great Video, but I have to ask? How long does it take you to edit video with all the cut and take and putting it together in sync. Great editing,

[@kadebrown6162]

Do lights decrease flight time? If so how much?

[@joedrummer5629]

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how do I get satellite Towers/Connection on my DJI Spark. It works when I'm just using the phone but when I connect the controller I only get regular GPS no satellite I was hoping you could help me out. I don't know anyone else with a DJI Spark. And since I watch all your videos you're always talking about drones so I figured you could help out😊. Thank you

[@odlanorirom]

question: how can i disable incoming calls from my phone while flying the spark wit RC? should I set it on airplane mode?

[@odlanorirom]

ok i will check with my android...tnx..

[@frenky-tan]

If my spark already paired with RC yesterday, but today I want just use my spark with gesture control without rc and phone, am I be able to to it? And unfortunately I'm in geo safely zone (nearby airport).

[@gorasamacharya2885]

Very informative video, great job! I ordered a spark starter bundle. I have a question , what is that cable that connects spark remote controller to the Android phone? Thanks in advance!!

[@seangalbraith6837]

Thanks! Great video. I learned a bunch. Suggestion for another simple video: How do you remove/replace the light lens covers? (I'm down 2 currently and have replacements "in the mail")

[@kelRGo]

Why can't you switch from remote RC one day - smartphone and back to remote RC without linking with the smartphone DJI go 4 app?

[@RedHeat]

Thanks for the info. Great spark vids.

[@PatsPlace]

(6:19) yeah thats wright!! it wil turn to lift /r....i stop flying, and call. the compass 2e time its works again

[@MrHyho]

What about spark has no status leds on at al in flight?

[@RonRPL]

Same here, front LEDs turns off while recording. They can go green in gesture mode. Rear LEDs are always active.

[@HiHai]

Very clear and useful video.

[@maiquito777]

Why do I get a solid green light in the front of spark instead of solid red?

[@maiquito777]

@@DailyDroning no that I am aware of,I never used that mode,it started to happen as soon as I install a new battery.but will check my settings to make sure it did not get changed.

[@tommacbride3654]

What about cold weather, how cold, warm up and any thing you can say about? thank you! Cheers!

[@tommacbride3654]

Thank you good reply! I have a Chroma and have been up at 17F seemed to be harder on me. Yep! warmer is better Cheers!

[@arndpeter]

Thanks for sharing mate !

[@ChrisParayno]

Great input! Keep up the good work.

[@JP1970]

Wow, that is some helpful info! As a person on the verge of buying one of these, I am glad I found your channel and this video! Thank you so very much!

[@AndrewBourke79]

Kloo Gee where did you order a spare led light lens/protector? I also am in need of one!

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

hi I prefer to fly in atti mode phantom 1 blade qx home made quads NEVER HAD A FLYAWAY CANT QUITE WORK OUT HOW THE SPARK WILL GO OFF THE RESERVATION IF YOU FLY BY 100%sticks

[@leonbennett3190]

Great help keep up with the helpful videos

[@jorgemedrano4625]

Excelent explanation man!

[@MultiRotorPaul]

How about this Error: Spark powers on... then I get Red, Yellow, Green continuously forever. No Wifi & can't reset using battery button.

[@MultiRotorPaul]

Tried 2 different computers and neither one recognizes it. Device manager shows unknown device. I already have a new Main Board on the way. I'll try to fix it myself.

[@TheTOPMACHINES]

Hi Loo Glee, I have Spark too, but I´m not able to flight more then 350 meters distance! I tryed everything I can do, but without any improvement. Made latest update, IMU and GPS calabritaion done..but still I´m loosing signal! Ofcourse I´m flying in open area with 10 km view! Do you have any idea?

[@TheTOPMACHINES]

Kloo Gee Yes I'm from Czech... Thank you for your reply! I have also contacted support DJI Netherland. Waiting now for answer. You videos are really great!!!

[@geraldrapp8339]

I learned a hard way do not press RTH when you’re flying it in the house. It goes for the ceiling and stays there till the battery runs down or something.

[@ThaOlBoy]

Just started flying my Spark TODAY! Been watching your videos for a few days and I must say, extremely informative, to the point and I love your sense of humor! Lol keep it up! 😂

[@kathylittle8]

excellent now I have to memorise all that - very good

[@kathylittle8]

lol

[@markfinley1834]

This is an excellent video. Watched it twice, but the problem is that there are too many combinations for my brain 😵

[@shaashwatraj]

This is the fundamental thing a drone owner should know. Very helpful sir. thank you for making this video

[@adajonnie7487]

Great video! Very helpful. Thank you!

[@gewizz2]

can you turn the lights off?

[@LeonB63]

Good and valuable information, thank you. One needs a quick reference guide to keep in the travel pack, I know I wont remember all the variances lol, at least I know where to find a video on them.

[@tomtomdawson]

I needed that knowledge!! Thanks!!

[@amitkolte1529]

Thank you for the details on led status, its perfect

[@yamoh20]

Great video Thanks

[@ruffaccord]

great video. One thing to never forget is to not have the props on when doing any testing or pretty much anywhere near you. any interference and that thing may have taken your nose off.

[@gowine504]

Well explained

[@rkabanlit]

New Spark owner here, and this is so informative, thanks.

thanks

[@bobbrown8661]

Mine talks to me. I think it's self aware. I think it's angry at me 🙁

[@canalha352]

Hello ... I almost lost my drone ... I installed a flashligth on my drone belly baehind the sensor and as soon as it went up to 10 meters sensor reading error appeared ... went up to 500 m without stopping and only went down because it lost contact ... I tried again and it happened again before taking off ... the 4 lights turned red ... what do you think it could be? Battery Magnetic field ? Regards

[@PurplePotatoBro]

Umm guys... my 3d sensoring system has 2 blinking lights... help?
