Using the DJI Spark with your motorcycle - An idiot's guide!

[@NeilMendham]

LOL Classic drone owner quotes, "No...no, no no no no no ....", "Where was that home point", and of course the classic "Jesus.... Jesus... fookin' 'ell". Anyone who's owned a drone has gone through these! Glad you got your drone back Crumble!

[@pvtaitchison]

Unfortunately.....So true. ;-p

[@TheCrumble]

All classic drone quotes that I didn't even know until that fateful day!

[@JonCarb-ul4wn]

so damn true hahahha :P no no no no ... however i was able to cancel it by click the right ok instead of canceling the cancel like he did over and over .. haha so funny ... and not the only guy i saw make this mistake !! when u hit the cancel ( the next windows is a confirmation of your cancel request) are you sure u wanna cancel the rth ? u have cancel and ok ... the all pick cancel ... even without the work we all know that yes is 99 % of time the right and no is left ...

[@DoopaVII]

Not yet 😉

[@damonbfpv]

the good old return to china feature lol

[@TheCrumble]

Haha brilliant!!

[@motonirvana6861]

I hope this becomes a weekly feature. This week, the Crumble tries "playing with handguns & sharp knives". What could go wrong?

[@TheCrumble]

yeah the man who fucks things up!

[@BickMitchum]

Love how you talk to it like it understands you ! I was crying laughing at the " it's pissed off back there " 😂😂😂

[@Nek0a]

When you cancelled return to home it asked you are you sure you want to cancel, then you kept pressing cancel instead of okay which would've stopped it above you. As a safety feature whenever your drone wonders off it'll ALWAYS go back to its homepoint you launched from so don't worry it'll be safe just make sure you take off with plenty of room incase it does need to land itself. Should land within 2meter squared of where you took off. Btw Love the videos dude keep up the great work, been watching you for years now never fail to entertain! So for that thank you xD

[@marekslemensky4531]

My gosh 😂 you need to learn a bit more stuff about it. First, the home point can be updated automatically if in ActiveTrack mode. Just enable "Dynamic Home Point" in MC settings (drone icon). Second, you were just cancelling the "cancel RTH". It was asking you if you really want to cancel RTH. Positive reply here is "OK". Then I noticed some basic mistakes that you are doing. 1. Take off with the drone's back (battery button/LEDs) towards you. It's just better for the brain not to get confused (when you want to fly forward, but the drone goes sideways instead.). 2. Not really reading what the app says/wants from you. (already mentioned that lol) Read and listen! And also one thing for your footage. Try to take your time. That footage of the drone is way too choppy for it to look at least watchable. You can then speed up/slow down the video in post processing (video editing). Sorry, I'm just trying to give some advice to a beginner... And please, don't call yourself an idiot. With no confidence, it will be very hard for you to learn! Happy flying :)

[@TheCrumble]

Cheers for the advice Marek! I will try and take that all on board next time!!

[@thegooserider7245]

@@TheCrumble drones bring different experiences to different people. My opinion on the matter is, you don't learn by keeping it on the shelf. You will no doubt, crash at least once. Maybe twice 😂 but you don't get better without practice. I cannot indulge what I do for a living, but take it from someone who started doing exactly what you are doing. Your on the right path as long as you have that transmitter in your hand. Don't listen to negativity as they are the ones sat on their sofas being keyboard warriors and not out doing the real thing. Practice makes perfect. You don't get the peaks without troughs.

[@BeansOnToast_YT]

Funny and brave going over water so soon. I had the same problem with the active track in that you can accidentally wiggle the joystick knobs when you put the controller in the rucksack. So I got a piece of rigid polystyrene packing cut into an oblong with holes in it to go over the joysticks and rubber banding them onto the controller when setting off. Later someone made so nice neat plastic cover to fit over the joystick knobs, got them off Amazon but they're for the Mavic controller, so don't know if they make for the spark yet. All the best.

[@agusbahagia5122]

Usually I watch “How to make your drone footage look cinematic” or some kind. Today I made an exception and you made me laugh in tears 😂

[@paulverney4753]

Very enjoyable and laugh out loud funny Mr C. Had many similar moments flying my drone. Made the mistake of reading all the ‘my drone has fooked off and now I’m out of pocket’ stories so have never let mine out of sight! Trouble is the best shots need that element of bravery I’m clearly lacking. Keep it up matey, it’s always a bonus when a new Crumble video appears in the list.

[@tobortine]

Thanks Crumble - I'm saving up to get one of these and I've been watching loads of reviews on YT but I wondered what it might be like if an idiot like me tried to use one, you've answered that question for me. Probably the best review of the DJI Spark that I've yet seen, can't wait to lose one. :-)

[@TheCrumble]

Haha glad i could help you! if you need any more shit reviews on how NOT to use something, please get in touch!

[@pvtaitchison]

Epic!! Best drone video so far!! Learn to understand the drone radar in the left down corner. So you know always where the drone is from your perspective. BTW, with the red pause button on the controller, you can pause all actions (also RTH)...apart from a emty battery in mid air ;-) Safe biking & flying.

[@TheCrumble]

[@myendurochallenge8885]

dont worry....i did the same as you my first time out,,,tried active track and it followed until it came to a tree...it did stop and wait for me there...i believe you may have bumped the joystick when you put it in your bag.fun toy but very stressful...good work mate!

I used to have a dog that behaved like your drone, months of training, sit, stay, retrieve etc. Then some days he'd just fuck off into the woods oblivious to any commands and find his own way back home hours later. He had an awful habit of pissing on my leg if I stood still too long, at least he didn't need loads of batteries though. Looking forward to some epic Crumble drone shots in the future.

Aaaaaaahh, the joys! Welcome to the club Crumble! The VERY first time that I tried to get my Spark to track me on the bike, it smashed headlong in to a tree and broke a prop off!! #winning The faff levels are off the chart aren't they!! I discovered the troubles with putting the controller in the tank bag just like you! My only real solution was to bung the controller and phone into a bush! :D Ohhhh the random stressedness of it all!!

[@isctony]

When it returned to home it looked like you were pressing 'cancel' not confirm when trying to stop the return therefore you were cancelling the action of stopping it. I've done exactly the same thing, key is not to panic! Also, you can set the home point to be the controller and to continuously update when in tracking mode :) Fantastic video!

[@rockinginafreeworld3256]

You can set return to home or return to controller. If you move away from Rth. Set the return to controller then it will go to your controller.

[@TheCrumble]

I think because i had it in aeroplane mode it wouldn't come back to controller. think that's why I couldn't set that.

Funny video! Thanks... Few tips for you....don't fly near water, drones don't like water, take yer lid off, you need to be able to see where it is and make sure you stop the recording as well as start it, othwrwise you lose the lot.....these are all from expiriences of my own with a spark. Bit of kit you may find useful is a smatree portable battery charger. It's basically a power bank with trays to charge the spark batteries. Gives 2 full charges to 3 batteries at a time, effectivly adding 6 more batteries to your bag....very useful and only about £40 on fleebay! ATB. Andy.

That was EXACTLY what happened to me last summer... I was running for a while with active track, suddenly the drone is low on battery power and instead of coming to me, it goes away to the first home point. The problem is that it was a road with some traffic, and when I got to that home point, the drone was not there! it must have been stolen or run down ... at the time I did not know what that little pause button on the remote control is for ... it would have worked.
