[size=14.6667px]I have had the Spark for a few days and continue to flight test......this is with the controller, testing the stability of GPS in a wooded area, the stability of the Spark in flight and how solid does the connection remain between the drone/controller/phone.

[size=14.6667px]I have owned and sold a Phantom 2+ that never had any connection issues......not so with Spark, unfortunately.

[size=14.6667px]Even using the OTG cable, and being less than 200 feet from the drone the Go4 app dropped out......during this flight.

[size=14.6667px]I am happy with the flight stability and the 2 axis gimbal and camera, however......

[size=14.6667px]There is some issue remaining regarding the connectivity of the app and the drone, even when using the controller.

[size=14.6667px]Below is the resultant edited video........I edited out the time it took to re-load the app and start flying again.......during this "outage" the drone stay in place above my home....which is a good thing, providing one has sufficient battery to remain aloft!

Good inputs. I’ve also seen a few bugs with the DJI GO 4 app, as I am sure many have. With the Phantom feedback you have, it is safe to say the isolation is with the Spark firmware and some bugs need to get worked out.

I would also add that my flight time was around 10 minutes and I have the prop guards installed.
