Please excuse this very basic question. My son bought me a DJI Spark almost two years ago and I have never flown. Well, I used my iPhone and got it to take off once but that's it. I'd like to buy a remote controller for it. I went to the DJI site and they are out of stock. I found a couple of eBay and Amazon and I want to make sure I get the right one. They are much more expensive than the DJI price. Anyhow, here's one of them. Is this the right controller? Oops, I don't see any way to attach a photo to my post. Here's what it's listed as:

Brand New DJI Part 4 Remote Controller for Spark Quadcopter #CP.PT.000792

I am determined to actually use this neat little drone. Thanks.

Hi Jor,

It seems thats the correct one: Amazon.com search results.
My remote has printed "Model:GL100A" on the back.
Be sure not to buy one with a display on it, these are for the Mavics, and are not compatible with the Spark.
Prices are ridiculous, though :-(

Cheers,
Wolferl

Thanks to you both. I'll try Support first and if that doesn't pan out I'll pay the $218. I gotta get this thing in the air!

Thanks for the references. I saw those but didn't want to take a chance on a used one. I found a new one for $165 with free shipping so that's not too far off of DJI's price of $111 plus shipping. Anyhow, I anxiously await its arrival.

I tried it out today with my iPhone but I can see that I will require some practice. I went up and down fine but sideways was another story. Into an antler hanging from my porch and crash. Didn't seem to hurt it but I bought extra blades and one of those blade protectors from eBay. Second time up I nearly missed a tree. Mañana I'm going to try it in an area of my yard with fewer trees. Thanks to all.
