hello, so I noticed I was getting tons of lag when using sport mode so I thought I’d buy an otg cable to get rid of that.. so today I received it and went to fly the spark and it was still just as laggy if not worse.  Not sure if there’s any settings I should be using when the otg is plugged in but just wondering what other peoples experiences are

Tons of threads on here about the OTG cable but at this point if you have up to date GO 4 then OTG is only working with IOS. I have all up to date app and equipment and the OTG cable works swell with my iPhone 7+.

Wreo, I would recommend you fly in a recommened environment. You can enter wifi setting and choose the channel with the best signal. What is your model of device? Please use devices in our recommended list. Thanks for your support.

First question: Android, right?
OTG is not supported by DJI for now, but it works really better than WiFi for me.
ZERO lags and ZERO disconnects, it is my Spark at its best.

Are you sure the communication between your Controller and your phone was going through OTG cable?
Try disabling WiFi to make sure it is over OTG.

Basic procedure:

Turn Spark on
Turn Controller on
Open DJI Go 4 App

When everything is on, the app is opened and communication between controller and spark is ok (green light on), only then you connect your OTG cable in the controller.

You will see "Go Fly" and experience a marvelous non-laggy flight.

But as I said in the beginning, OTG is not officially supported right now, DJI is working on this solution right now.
The problem? Latest DJI Go 4 App (ANDROID) is not working correctly with OTG. (No telemetry, no battery info, no quickshot modes... etc)
Solution? Download DJI Go 4 version 4.1.15 as it is the last version known to work with OTG.

Hello, I’m using an iPhone 6. I have airplane mode on when otg is plugged in.  I find I get the same amount of lag when using wifi?  Do I have to select a certain channel when using otg?  Thansk

are you sure your phone is on airplane mode.

Once i was flying and noticed that even though OTG was plugged in, Wifi was still on and being used.     So I always put into airplane mode now when I fly.

Not sure if that's your problem, but one thing to look out for

not something i've noticed, but possible.  Often I try fly straight line as i'm taking footage..so don't notice lag there.   When I bank i don't recall recall lag either.

I do get some lag when I'm getting further out...ie approaching 1K
