I have a hard time believing the DJI CrystalSky mount cabling for the Spark is such an after though. I also have a Mavic ... which is better but requires a pigtail twist to get connected (on right in pictures). I love the mechanics and ergomonics of the mount though ... even returning a MavMount which I disliked. WiFi works fine from the CS to the Spark so while awaiting a clean cabling solution I just removed the USB cable from the mounting bracket. Peel back the rubber mount surface and 4 small phillips screws later just remove the cable and reassemble. Just be carefule of the little silver ball pin which secures the lock lever open/closed


Easy to disassemble DJI CrystalSky Mount

So did you shorten the cable or what? Not following. I don´t mind the twist really but it seems weird.

Because Spark can be wi-fi, the Op removed the superfluous cable.

The only issue arises when the DJI fromally starts  supporting OTG for the Spark

They need to make something like the polar mount. I have a single cystal sky 8" and I want to use on my  P4 and Spark.
I think the 8" is too large to be mounted with the DJI mount it would make holding the controller very awkward and uncomfortable.

Thank you. The challenger for me is that I have to change matting places not matter what I us to go from the P4 to the spark.  Anyways, thank you guys.

It's all a matter of preference and comfort.  I've tried few mounts for my Mavic/Spark  and seem to like the DJI mount the best.  Though I did not like the $80 price tag.

Nice work., thanks for the how to. I took mine apart today, easy enough to put cable back in when DJI fully implements OTG.
