Hi folks.

Is it possible to change the 100m distance limit when flying with the smartphone? For more, and for less?

If so how to do it?
(triend on the app but did not find)

Thank you,

Adriano.

I don't think you can adjust that Adriano,
I was not able to adjust that value until after I connected with the Remote Control.

Dji have to implement a automatic refreshing dynamic homepoint. Tracking yourself isn't possible at the moment for a distance longer than 100m from the startpoint when only a phone is connected.
Hopefully they will add this feature!

The max flight distance and altitude can not be changed under WiFi connection. They fixed at 50 meters' height and 100 meters' distance. The only way to "change" is to switch to the Beginner Mode, then the distance and height will be limited to 30 meters.

Thanks for the feedback, users can now change the Homepoint to the drone's current position or the mobile device's (only when the mobile device allows GPS function) current position manually. And I'll transfer your advice to our engineers. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. We'd glad to help.

Thank you for transfering the request.
To set manual the homepoint every 100 meters isn't comfortable. So a dynamic HP that refreshs itself (like on the Phantom with Follow Me) would be awesome.
Also please add the Hover/Land option for Failsafe! RtH isn't the best choice for all situations. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback, we do not have the failsafe hover/land option for Spark, But I'll also inform this to our engineer to see if it is possible to make it in the future.

"Thanks for the feedback, users can now change the Homepoint to the drone's current position"

If the Home Point is recorded above ground - let´s say 10m up in the air - will it land on the GROUND on RTH?

No, it will land in the air

Sure will it land, the HP only saves the position, not the height. The height is set with takeoff.

If you need to track more than 100m, then take off and land so the home position is marked. Then walk 100m back and now you should have 200m active track
