Hi,

I used the spark for a Dance hack, the control hand gives a nice opportunity for dancers to interact with the spark.

But the Battery obviously last just around 16 min.

I was wondering if the spark with the battery on and connected to a usb extension cable will fly for longer time without need of changing batteries.

Cheers,

J

Connected USB = No takeoff.

You should get a Mavic instead as the flying power is much longer. There has been no USB extension chord that has been designed to give you more flying power. It would not work.

It wont take off. Even with the USB connected, the spark draws power faster than it can charge (even on idle).

You may need to purchase some extra batteries.

Hi I got some extra batteries.
I am working with dancers and experimenting Spark abilities to be introduced on a performance as the hand control is doing great so far.  Is DJI or DJI deparment that would be interested on this kind of thing or would like to follow our progress.  I did get some footage to show, etc....
Thanks,
Jorge

Hi Jorge, for this case, I would recommend you send an email about this to marketing@dji.com.
