Are there a config file(s) or parameter(s) we can change to tailor distances and speeds for the automatic modes?

Dronie doesn't work for me. Helix doesn't spiral.

Also, NO WAYPOINTS?

I remember this being pitched as having all the software features of the mavic and more?

The Mavic has a mode where you set a spot, moved a distance from it and it would circle around it. How can i reproduce this with Spark? I.e. around a lighthouse?? Surely activetrack circle wont work with an object like that?

Poor range with the remote, no further than 100m before it disconnects. Selfie gesture doesn't save pictures anywhere despite flashing lights to indicate it worked. Quickshot Dronie gains no height, rocket and helix drift, circle works ok.

Finally got around to trying the QuickShots. Same issues as others have reported.

Dronie: gains no altitude. Tried multiple methods, it just goes backwards.

Helix: Does not gain altitude. Pulls away and makes a 90 degree rotation (tracking me), then just flies backwards.

Rocket and Circle works as expected.

I'd like to know how to do this too.

Dronie Works Perfect, only distance setting over 40mt dosent work.

Here's an attempt to use helix!
It actually came out pretty decent considering how much wind was out there.

tried dronie for the first time today, latest firmware and IOS, damn thing just went backwards !!!

surely they have recognised this is a major problem by now ??

same thing happened to me, apparently there is a firmware update "coming soon" to correct these problems. i suggest for you guys to go to the forum they have created and follow their instructions to get some things fixed, just remember you will have to email them. the forum link is below.

i didn't try to reduce the distance below 40 m yet so i will try that this weekend.

With my spark all modes work fine. Controlled with an Ipad Mini.
Sometimes tracking is lost, that's the only issue I have on my device.

Dronie does not work correctly even in DJI's own new promotional/instructional video. Straight back:

Was just going to post that myself, so they can't get drone to work so they change the video and now all is Good? That's just not right surely

Dronie does not gain altitude on mine either. Goes back forever have to stop it. iOS.

Just updated firmware and all quickshot modes have disappeared....

Mine too, worked one day then not the next? Will my spark firmware auto update? Not actually sure which version I'm running (I think second latest one) with go 4.1.15

Dronie doesn’t work. Gesture mode works when it wants to. This drone is more of a recreational drone, not great for video and photography!

Everything works here, 130 flights and counting. https://www.instagram.com/p/BcSZVHeFVzD/?taken-by=warubikku

No problems - using remote and iPhone X, no OTG.

for me dronie gains altitude but it doesn't go straight back, it curves at the end

Short answer "YES"

I have had it not complete a circle. Contacted support.They said it was the wind.
