option for gps to record to the cloud some how. this would help on fly away cases and we would be able to recover the drone.

1. How about course lock for Spark?
2. how about spotlight like in mavic?
is that achievable?

Spark is a great product. But IMHO the target audience is more educated than DJI thinks or wishes. It is still an expensive drone ...

In a newer firmware ...

Like spark SparkAustin said cost reduction.

and obviously because if they put all the features that the mavic has in the spark then no one would buy the mavic which would cause DJI to only make half the money.

Also would like to see the max speed slightly increased with OA enabled, it's really a bit too slow.
Sport mode is cool though!

By far and away, I think the most important update required of the Spark it to implement the ability in the DJI Go 4 app to allow the pilot to change the sensitivity of the inputs for the camera gimbal and the joystick inputs.

As they stand right now, it is nearly impossible to get a smooth shot with the Spark where the camera pans up/down or you yaw left/right.  This is already a feature of the Mavic and Phantom.  Please add this capability to the Spark as well.  This will make such a huge impact on the quality of footage able to be captured by the Spark!

DJI,
Thanks for updating DJI Go 4 in v4.1.4 to add a setting for the gimbal speed!  This is awesome!

There is (and has been) a setting for the stick speeds for up/down/roll/yaw, etc.  It would be awesome to make individual settings to be able to control each different axis independently.  I would love for to be able to keep the forward/backward and up/down speed fast, but slow down the roll and yaw.  So it would be great to be able to control the speed for each different direction.

Thanks for listening!

What I'd love to see

1. a stable Android app
2. Where is the app update for Android?
3. stable connection between Spark and RC
4. adjustment of RTH range
5. RAW recording
6. different color profiles
7. official OTG support

I'm fully satisfied with the features of this tiny drone. But the connectivity issues are just horrible!

We know the sensor used in the spark is capable of 2.7K 60FPS so no reason why it shouldn't have 1080p60FPS in a firmware update !

Definintely a Raw mode for the camera, as well as setting the Framerate to 25 FPS for PAL users

My Samsung s8+ keeps charging my controller everytime I plugged in the OTG.  

Controller should turn off charging mode when it is link to the spark, as some of the new phones on the market are now supporting reverse charging mode.

I'd like to see it actually work.  Currently it can't fly over 10 feet at times without losing signal and the video doesn't feed at all. I landed it and picked it up and the video was still showing it flying.

Filming in 25fps!
Definitely needed for European users that want to incorporate the footage from the spark with other media. And dlog or a flat colour profile.

Please add voice control via mobile phone. I.e. press a button like calling up Siri or Google assistant and issue commands like come home, hover, land, circle, take pano. Maybe more effective then gesture and fiddling with settings.

Would be nice if you guys could have subject tracking in tripod mode, useful for many applications. could do away with my video camera then.

Dear  Authorized,

The battery is less than 15 minutes. I'm afraid to use it because it will fall.

tried video gesture with spark only. (no smartphone/RC)  1. normally video works fine  2. doesn't work during "Away and Follow mode" which is very important. I usually takes video using active track, but gesture video seems doesn't support active track.. so dissapointed

Please add 25fps to the spark. In Scotland so is a must!!!

a lillte bummed the new firmware doesnt seem to do anything for me, still waiting for DJIGO update for my android

- lowlight stabilisation still bad. ill get so many panning in my video without touching the stick, or il want to do a slow pan and the stabilisation freaks out.
-still very laggy video feed and spark is always on the bad 5G (CE), no option to change with USBOTG
- still cant find the rc wifi after changing to 2.4 (maybe something wrong with my combo ?)
- no added camerasettings

YES YES YES!!!!! this is a must!

by the way how do you know/where can i find the info about the spark being able to support 2.7k @60fps?

I would really love 60fps and official OTG support on iOS. Also the ability to set the function button for a palm launch.

I only flew for about 6-7 minutes total since the firmware update in order to cycle batteries but I really like the adjustable gimbal sensitivity, the video feed does seem to be a little more responsive as well.  I would like to be able to program exponential rates or dual rates into the remote to make it easier to take smooth video.  also a 60fps 1080p or a 4k/30 non-stabilized option would be great for indoors or in low wind conditions.  Just would be nice to have the option.  

I have also noticed that i'm not getting the full 30mph top speed in sport mode with mine, not sure why that might be also.   

The gesture modes are fun at the beginning and are great when you're show the Spark off to friends or family but the novelty soon wears off. What I would like to see is more control over the setting of the gimbal and yaw as this is the only way to get smooth professional looking  footage. The last App update and firmware was a good start but I'd like to see more

Another one:
- Continue file numbering after images/videos are removed.

I regularly clean out the DCIM folder and it is a pain that file numbering starts again at 0001. Should be a camera setting.

Regarding to DJI Spark ads , we all known that Spark can shot photo by Hand Gesture and especially Shallow Focus photo. But the true is we always have to take a Shallow Focus photo along with Smarphone. Is there any chance DJI will add this feature as the Ads ?

Updated the firmware yesterday and today my Spark decided to fly away and ignore my RC inputs! I JUST LOST MY SPARK!

I started the Spark with good GPS and calibrated Compass. Flew up to about 8 meters to have it safely remember Home position. Then went up to 100m and recorded a panorama video shot. After about 2-3 minutes hovering in 100m suddenly Spark lost Compass and started to fly away to NORTH. I tried to initiate Return To Home, but the drone did not react to any commands anymore. It just accelerated and flew away. I could see the live stream for a minute or two until the connection was lost completely. The drone is lost.

What to do?

After reading the news articles and the forum it is clearly a BUG in the Spark Software or Hardware. This is an absolute no-go for such a product! No possibility to track it - no failsafe.

I would not trust any Spark until this bug is identified and located.

A time lapse mode to be able to do short timelapses whilst flying

It's very important to have the 25fps, absolutely essential

RAW photos and 24fps video. PLEASE.

I feel your pain.  On my second flight, my Spark decided to shut off mid-flight.  It was 100 feet up in the sky, and crashed down right on my street.  This thing is loaded with issues and DJI won't admit to it.  Now I have a $700 Fly More Combo, and I had to pay another $110 to get another one.  Good thing I got it from Amazon.  I will be taking the replacement, putting it back in the box, and returning it.

How come you had to pay $110 to get another one? Did you get a voucher from DJI or something like that?

DJI you asked for suggestions so here you go.

1) Stop using your customers as beta testers

2) Start behaving like a company that cares about it's customers

3) Be honest, do the right thing and start replacing drones that have crashed due to your company's neglegience.

Go look at the reviews for your DJI Go 4 app. Explain to your customers why you think it's ok to sell a product that depends on your software to use it. Here, I'll attach a screenshot shot.

Please explain why you haven't tested your own products using all the phones and tablets on your list.

I'm absolutely baffled how you're still in business. Maybe it's the same reason we have an idiot running our country.

I think the DJI Go 4 app has the largest number of 1 star reviews in comparison to the total number of reviews. That's not a good track record. Please explain why I should buy any of your drones based on what we can all clearly see and read.

I really love the Spark, it's a so handy product and the hardware itself also great. It has so many ways to expand your creativity. I would love to see an option for the camera shooting RAW files, and maybe the video has an slog mode. It would be great features! Keep up with the good work!

what is WorkingIMUencounterSheadingException error? my drone crashed in water because of it

RAW we need RAW Photos :-D thats all - thank you!

Thank you for the adjustable gimbal pitch!   What would also be helpful would be adjustable yaw speed and Homelock. The ability to video in Homelock, with adjustable yaw speed, would help to compensate for the absence of the third gimbal axis.   Tripod does provide some compensation for the third axis, but is still a bit too fast. Having to concentrate on getting the yaw speed just right and holding it there without out Homelock, is also problematic.  Thanks

Suggestion:
360 Pano video mode: Do a slow 360 degree turn at height to capture an image of the surrounding (adjustable speed).

I must say the RAW/DNG format for still images is a must in this day and age, even an iPhone can do this through apps - I would like DJI to lead from the front and implement this as this should be rather straightforward.

How about Flight Path definition plus camera tracking?  Similar to something offered by AirDog II?
