Hi,

I was replacing the plastic Spark body due to the crash... while reasembling all the parts into the new body I damaged the flat cable of the front vision sensor. That cable / unit now cannot be attached to Spark. Can I still use Spark without this sensor being attached or will it go into error mode?

Also does anyone have a link to buy just a flat cable not the whole front sensor unit?

Thanks for the help!

yes you can use the SPARK without the front obstacle sensor.  Mine has been working since the latest SPARK firmware update !!

Hi, Sorry on what happened to your aircraft. Using the drone without obstacle avoidance would be risky due to that the aircraft will not sense any obstacle. I would recommend sending the unit to our recommended repair facility for them to check your aircraft. Please see the link below.

Hi, Thanks for the inquiry, sorry that cables inside the aircraft cannot be purchased on our store due to that we're not recommending our customers to fix the drone on their end because this procedure will void the warranty of the drone. Thank you for understanding.
