DJI Spark OTG Cable Setup in Minutes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- Struggling to get DJI Spark to connect to an iOS device with an OTG cable. I found one that works, and if you follow the procedure outlined in the video exactly as I do it, every time, you will always get a solid OTG connection to the Spark. Buy it: us.gearbest.co...
I'm also not technically using an otg cable, rather just a USB to Lightning cable, cutting out the need for an adapter to make an OTG communication... much cleaner.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Instructions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#1. Power on the DJI Spark
#2. Power up the Spark RC; wait for it to bind
#3. Disable Bluetooth and Wifi on the iOS device
#4. Plug the OTG cable into the Spark RC
#5. Launch the DJI Go 4 app

Nice video John.
Nicely done
Very helpful video John! I wonder why Apple is so goofy to not allow something as common as an OTG cable to work more easily.
Good question: Apple requires devices to be certified through them for easy use. That's what their MFi Program ("Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad") is all about. DJI didn't MFI-certify the RC with Apple and likely will not do so. The cable I'm using is not certified either,.
Great information John! BTW, I found out that once you have the OTG working you do not need to repeat these steps when change battery on Spark.
You are right! You can just reload a new spark battery and keep going. I noticed this as well later on. :) Thank you for the comment!
Great information
Mate great vid, been having problems, I'll give this a go. Cheers
This video was precise............follow and ye shall get the connection just as shown.
Thank you
Dan McKay Thank you!
Very helpful!
Simple as that, thank you 😎
It was the answer to my problem. Great. Gracias
One more piece of information about the DJI Go4 App when spark is connected to the RC with OTG cable. When use the play back function on iPad or iPhone during flight the navigation screen will turn blank; to get it back after review the recorded clip / photo during the flight simply exit the DJI Go$ App and relaunch it that worked out for me.
I own DJI Phantom 1, 2,3,4 and Mavic Pro...this little guy (Spark) requires more steps to setup than all of them. Hope every bit information helps the Spark pilots...:)
Very clear info. Thanksssss
Thank you sir
Hey John,
Cheers for that. Another question can you get 6-700 meters visual coverage through your phone with otg cable on controller obviously without wifi? Cheers
Curious to know if these same steps/settings apply for android devices,im having a issue with it changing into 2.4 from 5.8
i also turn off my wifi and enter airplane mode to cancel all forms of wifi/interference.My device note20 is identifying the connection,i just dont know if its through the cable,im only assuming it is being im in airplane mode.
thanks.
is it worth it to buy one? what should i know in order to prevent fly aways
How do I get the remote to connect to the spark when they're turned on? Normally I have to connect to the remote Wi-Fi and go through the app to link them
Hey John, can you check the battery status and low battery warning while on OTG set up? Thanks
hello, i don't know if you can help me, I hope so. I did everything like you do for android but with a otg cable, I enter and the program recognizes , I can see the camera, and it said GO FLY, but when I enter I don't have any gps, and can' t have RTH, or move any options. please help!!! but with wifi connection works, but with a little interference, and latency.
help me please
Nice one. can you verify if this solution will work to all quadcopters that has rechargeable controller? to solve a problem when using a 2.5G Wifi Phone. Thanks. hope to hear from you soon.
Hello, this solution will only work for DJI spark. 😊
A friend of mine didnt get an OTG cable with his spark just a charge cable and everything else that came with it so how does he get his update
The spark does not come with an OTG cable - I had to purchase that on my own to do this. The spark itself updated wirelessly or via the computer on USB.
Latest app update will not allow otg to work properly
Thank you for the update. It's unfortunate that they killed it off.
SO is the OTG cable not needed??
An OTG cable was never needed -- but it provided a wired-in connection between the Spark controller and the tablet/phone device. This did decrease latency in the video feed, even if it was by 0.300-0.400ms or so. A shame that DJI disabled it in newer versions of their DJI Go 4 app apparently.
Is the OTG cable dead then? Also if you buy the ipad one I noticed it's longer length can u use that for my iphone 6 connection and have the extra length instead of buying the iphone one??
Someone in the comments claimed that it was dead. I have not verified their claim. I can do so tomorrow if I remember. If you buy the OTG cable I link in this video, you can have the extra length, yes. I have used the cable with my phone as well.
So this is still the way to go with the newest firmware updates?
Late reply here sorry but yes. Worked for me just now on iPhone 8+ on iOS 11.3.1 with the latest firmware on the spark. No problems. The wifi icon does not show as greyed out though anymore.
do u really like spark better than mavic?
I prefer Mavic Pro; but the Spark is excellent too.
