STOP SCREAMING!!!!!!
Im too excited !😬
FUCK YOU
Ikopta xD i would be too, bough one of thiese otg few days ago, how do you check the remote/drone connection signal? It now says HD in that menu, and wifi signal icon top right is washed out.
I’m having this problem now just ordered the OTG cable hopefully it’s gonna fix my issue . Thanks
You're a good man! Without people like you my new Spark would have driven me to despair i.e. Rained hammer blows upon it!
I'll give this a try. Haven't been able to do it so far. Just stays "disconnected" so many the order in which I connect things makes a difference! Thanks for the video.
Its all about the order
Dont know why because I watched others but I finally got my note 5 connected to controller w cable. Yes finally ready to fly!. Thanks for your video, thumbs up
Looking forward to seeing what you shoot. 👍🏻
The best explanation I have ever watched!!!Thank you sir.
Pleasure..👍🏻
Don't listen to them, your presentation is perfect.
I've watch a hundred spark videos this guy was the only one who made me laugh and taught me something ✊🏾 he's alright with me.
😳 Cheers Ed.
Sound advice - extremely annoying presentation. Too much coffee?
Drip fed. Trying to kick the habit
Most helpful Dylan, I've just won a Spark in a comp and wondered what the OTG thing was all about.
Lucky man! Enjoy 👍🏻
Will do :) You make your own luck ;)
Ikopta PS does using the OTG cable reduce power consumption on the iPhone? Had a play this evening and it really sucks the power from the phone when connecting to transmitter via wifi
Yes, it does. i would close off other apps while using Spark as well
Hahaha, had to pause to comment. You're funny, good to see many won't get you but the best will. Ok, back to the vid!
Hey brother. First, you are very annoying. Second, I have watched upwards of 12 hours of youtube videos trying to figure out so much stuff with the Spark I bought and received less than a week ago, and you, hands down have been the most help. I'll deal with your caffeine/meth addiction, because you for sure know what you are doing and talking about.
😂😂 if it helps, the I think caffeine has lost its effect... mellowing
So quite nice tutorial. I saw a lot of your videos before, and I don’t liked them, because of the presentation style, even they were very helpful. Today, I changed my mind, and I decided to subscribe with notifications for the future videos. Why? Maybe because everybody in comments for this video said that you are yelling, that’s obvious, but.... after my OTG experience (where I completely mixed the line of movements, and almost had an fly away with OTG) sometimes is really necessary to yell to someone to remember obvious things ;)
And, I have one question to you, and if you have some time, please consider some small tutorial about it. So, OK iPhone/iPad OTG connected to Spark’s RC, which wi-fi to choose to connect RC and Spark? 2.4 or 5.8? I’m in Europe, you’re in Europe, I don’t like hacks (FCC) and things like that. So pure and simple, what you will choose for better AC - RC connectivity? 5.8 in towns & 2.4 in the rest of locations?
I’m not asking because of the flight range, but simply for better and safe connection to prevent some potential incidents.
Thanks
Just what I needed ,got me connected straight away ,keep up the good work
LEGEND! Thanks for this - sorted a problemo out!
Glad it helped
Love your blog style by the way, keep it up ! Makes learning a laugh , Cheers
Cheers Flash, good to know. 👌
Brilliant Video! Very entertaining!
Always great content! You are one of my favorite on youtube....
Cheers Steve. What do you want to see more of?
Mavic stuff, i'm finally getting mine next week..I've learned a lot watching your videos and probably will review a few of them again for set up tips...
Yep, was about to send the cable back! you saved the vendor a return :-) the wiring sequence makes all the difference. Plug and play ... with the plugs until you find out how to play
Glad it helped
Thx Buddy!!! I did fight with that stuff for a few days. Thx again for this video
I like the energy lol
A bit too much coffee? :-) informative, thanks very much ;-)
Brilliant thank you for explaining that, its now so easy.
Pleasure.
Indeed... too loud and too long... but good info and seems to be a nice guy. The price was right.
Make that 4.. I was struggling ...Thanks
Thank you Dylan, got it working using OTG. I would be grateful for any advice on a couple issues i am experiencing with it though. 1. Custom RC buttons have to be reset after every power on; 2. Cannot see Spark's Wifi Signal Strength (which makes me a bit nervous); 3. Cannot control the RC Wifi i.e. cannot switch to 2.4 GHz and select channels. Perhaps you don't have these problems or have a solution? Very many thanks in advance for your kind assistance in this matter. Joe
Hey Joe. Where are you based?
near Norwich in the UK
Dylan
Great stuff as always
Please could you do a how to bind two controllers and two DJI goggles to a Mavic without getting the dreaded "No signal" warning in the app. Dont have 2 controllers or 2 sets of goggle! No problem i can send you mine if you want. DJI AHHHHHHHHHHHH
1 set goggles 2 controllers work no problem. Advanced linking for 2 sets and its "No signal " time.
Step 7 , plug the micro USB is remote controler (unplug and plug) fixed my problem , tks !
Thank you helped me out 👍
Great video
Thanks for the info!
Hope it helped
Thank you so much my friend !!!!!!!!!
Worked for me, Cheers...liked
God to know
Awesome instructions! One question ..after all those steps when I go into the dji app main page the icon at the bottom left shows wifi icon .. shouldn't it show the controller icon ? I had airplane mode on so zero connection .
Should have controller symbol
I had probs. I followed this EXACTLY. it works . yippee. might write it down. thanks
Thanks for the update.
Can't you place the iphone all the way in the guides with the cable on?
If you want to, there are slots the arms. using the iPhone 7plus, I have it down so I can get to the camera buttons to screen shot.
Nice! But then, why not to rotate 180 the iphone so the buttons are downwards?
Great video. What do you think is the shortest lighting cable to use. Trying to make it nice and neat.
This look quite short. amzn.to/2vYjri2
Ikopta fantastic thanks for the reply. Remote arrived today so will get the otg and shortened lightning lead ordered
Great stuff!
Thanks AJ
That sucks no gps with otg cable so if you get interference or something you're sol. Its also not showing distances only height. Dji cant monitor flights when we do that so new update with better wifi range no longer works with otg. I wasted my money but atleast its only one cable. You can buy a ios end with micro usb on the other on one otg 6 inch cable. I subbed so hope you respond about no gps with otg or distance. Thanks
Love your confidence, but you need one more essential piece of information. The OTG-USB cable is 1-directional. This means that if the wrong end is plugged into the RC, then it WILL NOT WORK. The markings on the cable (if any) are rarely intuitive. For others with this problem: if you are not connecting, try reversing the direction of the cable (especially relevant for Android users).
So... I can fly okay with it... but why we lost all battery information while connecting this cable?
Love your videos. I have the Mavic - and just unsure which cable to get - OTG or Right-Angled cable ? I use an iPhone 6
Fred, thanks for the comment. If its for the Spark, get both (they don't cost much) amzn.to/2sRf0nY & amzn.to/2kfuA7J Enjoy!
Ikopta thanks - but what's the difference between the two. And... are you enjoying the spark ?
Hey Dylan, can you still check your battery status and low battery warning while on OTG set up? Thanks
How do you keep your iOS from overheating while flying the drone. My iPhone 6 plus gets really hot and shuts off by the second flight. I was thinking of making an external heat sink plate to set behind the iPhone to help dissipate the heat? Any who appreciate any info. Thanks
Hey Russell, good question. I assume hot, as in out in the sun? Or is it hold because of being used? I have issue with iPad mini, when using when sun shines. I've seen people using ice cooler packs to keep the temp down, they say it works. If over heating due to usage, double check no other apps open, after that 🤷♂️. I guess make sure not faulty?
cheers. 😎
So will a Lightning to micro USB simply not work?
This lightning cable, is that just the iPhone's charging cable? I am on android with an Xiaomi mi6 and wanted the know if I just need a OTG cable. Thanks!
Just the standard phone cable yes. I did change for a right-angled cable though, more comfortable in the hand. amzn.to/2wkSA00
OK!!! NOW I FIND OUT!!! THE OTG CABLE HAS DIRECTION! MY OTG CABLE IS FOR ANDROID AND IT HAS THE SAME KIND OF PLUG BOTH ENDS, BUT IT HAS DIRECTION! JUST CONNET THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND IT WORKS!!! LOTS OF OTG CABLES NOT WORKING OUT THERE I BET IT IS THE DIRECTION PROBLEM! HOPE THIS HELP!
Thanks for sharing Wayne. Yes there are many out there..
Just the info I needed! Could not connect until I switched cable ends! Holy crap, it works! Thanks Wayne!
followed steps but in the app it says weak transmission. what does that mean
I'm still waiting for the green light
Hi Dylan, I just watched your video again, did all of the steps in your order and it didn't work! arrrggggg
Maybe I don't have the correct OTG cable? I have one that is a USB Female connector. and a male USB to lightning connector...
any ideas?
Mmmmm, did you get this cable?... amzn.to/2w3rDRy , other thing to check would be the lightning cable, try another one if you haven't already.
I use an android phone. When I connect the cable into the phone, it automatically launches the app. But for some reason the phone charges off of the controller. odd
Use the same hook-up sequence with an Android, ie Samsung 5?
I got the OTG cable and still nothing I think it’s the DJI Go 4 App ,can sobody help me please!
Whats your set up?
I set everything to default is there any specific set up I should have ?
Thanks for this, when I follow the steps, on the app, the wifi logo and not the rc logo is still splits played on the app main page. Is this ok?
Thank you very much for the video however I just ordered the OTG cable it will be here tomorrow but I am hearing different people say with the new firmware update the OTG cable do not work anymore is that true thank you
Calvin, depends on location and what tablet you use. I still need mine.
Everything working and fine with latest firmware with my Ipad mini. Bought the Spark last week as my first drone. I changed it to 2.4 Ghz and and put in my OTG this morning to test. No issues here in Southern England.
Still want to try the FCC hack when I am feeling brave
Ahhh... here's the problem for me. BOTH the lighting to usb cables I got do not work. They just don't fit correctly into the iPhone and constantly lose connection. You have to really push, then they move anyway. So... get a REAL certified cable or you're liable to lose connection mid flight. Thanks!
Wen i do this my phone dose not tell me it isnt supported. It justconnects right away without any battery features. Everyting says n/a but will still let me fly. I dont like this i have no features availible woth otg connection
can some one help me my cable works when I plug it in except it doesn't display my height distance and the other vitals....what is this about
your nuts dude, but a very good reviewer lol
Why does otg cable charges the phone? If plugged the other way, phone will charge controller, help!
Using android samsung S5 4 yrs old, don't wanna change it, i'm addicted :P
How is its possible to put the iPad mini in this remote?
NOT WORKING FOR ME! WHEN I CONNECT MY PHONE TO CONTROLLER VIA USB OTG MY SPARK JOINING IN BUT GPS SIGNAL NOT CONNECTING AND ERROR SAYING THAT I FLYING WITH RISK BECAUSE GPS NOT CONNECTED. THIS PROBLEM IS ONLY IF I USE OTG CABLE. IF I CONNECT MY PHONE VIA WIFI WORKING FINE AND GETTING FAST GPS. ANY HELP???????
Does the cable improve anything?
how to do u upgrade remote ? when i do it . it won't upgrade or how to do reset remote???? can u help? thank u ..
I got it! I thought I had the wrong micro usb to micro usb cable for my Samsung j7 prime that I purchased off of Amazon. I reversed the cable to where the usb symbol was on the controller and then it recognized it. I'm not sure why that mattered but it worked for me. Honestly, I may not have had a good connection the other way but worked. It automatically opened the DJI app and I put my phone into airplane mode. Now, I just have to go do a test flight. Here's the info for the cable. smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07542217Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Just did my first flight connected via cable and in airplane mode and it was a huge success. I'm happy now. Now, if I could just see the live view on the screen better in daylight.
Yeah, would make sense if DJI just capitulate and supplied the cable in the first place
Hi Dylan, I am still getting a red warning "Weak Image Transmission signal" and not able to take off using the remote? any ideas, thank you
David, I would plug into the DJI Assistant on Mac or PC to make sure no firmware mis-match. Make sure all firmware is up-to date. Are you using iOS or android?
Thanks for your time Dylan, I'm using an ipad and all firmware is up to date. If I just use wifi everything works lovely but i'm scared to death of getting a fly away :( although having said that I never fly any distance where the spark is out of sight....
Hey Dylan, cheers mate..... I downloaded the DJI Assistant app onto my PC and just let it update everything and low and behold Its fine now Yay, thank you
Great got mine working perfect thanks ! One query though, with the FONE in flight mode & wifi, Bluetooth off, how do you get the map to show on the FONE down in the bottom left corner ? I can see the snail trails but they are on a blank screen. Also how do l get and link the sound from my FONE it's recording to be used on the final video as l used it in an interview ? It must be somewhere as when l playback the video while Spark is still on the preview has sound ? Please help and advise if you can , cheers flash
You need to cache the maps before you start.Open the app when you have wifi (at home etc) go into the may, zoom in/out, move it around the area you will be flying then close the phone (do not shut down app, double clicking home &swiping etc) then when you get to site, the maps should be there.
Do you have to use Apple maps or can you use Google when Caching? I never used Apple products until I bought this drone
if i put my phone in airplane mode and wifi off then how will i open dji go 4 app it will ask connection for controller i am confused in step 4-5..help me bro
It won't, the App does not need wifi. Just the steps, and follow exactly.
Ikopta yes it worked!! oh man you are awesome.. really love the way you present yourself and ur videos.. cheers from india 🇮🇳
Cheers Abhishek Jain, safe flying my friend.
when i click enter device in the dji go app 4 its making me turn on wifi :(
The last version need wifi
I have an android phone. Can you get a lightning cable for Android?
Mine is only charging when connected
Which tablet phone you using?
Ikopta Samsung galaxy s8 active
Would this work with the dji phantom 3 4K model?
and where do you get a male micro usb to male usb C (for many android devices) otg cable?
like these?
amzn.to/2vPT3WA
thanks -but I already ordered them! and it's not a 1 cable solution
i cant go into the app, he req ; wifi. and no cable seeing...new update? (......500?) ore i have the wrong cable? tell me!! greets from Holland
i have follow your shouting steps!!
link me to the cable you have
Dylan relax... this video is okey but it raised my bloodpressure through the roof. dont shout and relax ffs
I have iPhone 7 Plus ... so I need the otg cable AND the lighting cable ... is that right
amzn.to/2yHWbco & amzn.to/2yHZ7pi These are the ones I use.
Can you send me the USA amazon site... thanks
Samsung s6 edge
I'm using Samsung S8+ with OTG and my doesn't show height, distance, or allow return to home when connected with OTG. Is this normal? Also seems to limit how far away I can fly.
Are you able to get a screen shot of the settings?
Ikopta I ended up trying a old iPhone 6s and that works fine with otg cable. Appears to be related to the model of phone.
😱 Samsung! Do you think they're working on a drone of their own perhaps? 🤔
Ikopta One can only imagine! It wouldn't surprise me!
Does it work with android ?
Hello pal just a little bit of help needed i bought the org cable you recommended but I'm still not getting anywhere just saying I'm charging the phone any help please
What phone have you got?
S6 edge mate please help do i need an iphone
which one is the host, phone or rc controller?
In this instance, its between the Craft & controller.....
But my cable is only 8" long, meaning it could only fly 8" high. THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.
great advice
that was the most painful spark video i had to watch
Who made you watch? I'll have a word with them.....
"I won't go on for 10 minutes"
Goes on for 7 minutes
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Hope it works for you
I figured my extremely enthusiastic comment would have indicated that it indeed worked!
It's the steps......follow the steps as slowly as you instruct, and it works every single time.
Again, thank you sharing a solution to this confusing (but far superior) method of RC to mobile device connection!
NO, IT DOES NOT WORK! IT WORKS ON GO4 OLD SOFTWARE BUT WHEN I UPGRADE THE GO4 APP. IT NOT WORK ANY MORE, WILL STOP YOU FROM GETTING INTO THE APP, UNLESS WIFI CONNECTED!
Not sure what's up with the random screams. Other than that this is ok
Shock therapy 😉
Thanks Dylan! It was enlightening.
Still I have one more stupid question that bugs me.
Once you have completed all steps, do you turn aeroplane mode off and WiFi on again?
What I can't understand is how the RC remains connected to the SPARK, via WiFi!!!!!!! after everything has gone dark?
Dang!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!
Anyway, thanks, regardless (please, reply! LOL)
*#^%*%(@)@)@^#%!*$!!!!!!!!!
Damn it! I can't get my head around this.
What am I missing! Or is it that I'm plain stupid and ignorant!
Probably the two latter traits (just don't say it... let it linger, without me knowing... wink-wink / nudge -nudge).
HA!!!
Please, PLEAAAAAAS-e... throw me a bone here...
I'm going slightly mad (quote QUEEN).
Jesus!
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but your explanation is very confusing
Interesting.... 1) switch on craft, 2) switch on controller, 3) wait for green light on controller, 4) plug in otg cable/lighting lead, 5) plug in tablet/iphone. 6) switch on tablet/open go4 app.. 7) Ignor the "not supported" message. 8) fly drone.
I have this cable; www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018M8YEX0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but even following the procedure its not working. No popup message appears on my screen. Can you tell me is the cable is wrong? Thanks
The order of the steps is important. Plugging the cable into the controller before the other end is connected to the iPhone won’t work. Perhaps you should mention this and maybe cut down on the coffee. Excellent information otherwise, but extremely annoying presentation.
Must have been lost in there somewhere. Trying to kick the coffee, but she's a cruel mistress. 😳. Cheers Joe.
OK I give up I can I get the same to work to save my life so I think I’m just gonna return it all. I have 6 different types of OTG cables. I am looking to serif there is anyone near me ho could give help
Tried a different lightning cable?
Thut
Thank's!!
Pleasure
I'm also only getting just over 100metres distance, can you help
Why the yelling?
Damn, after following your instructions and using 3 phones and 2 cables I realised some phones dont work (mine) and some so called OTG cables don't work either. :( So I now need to somehow steal my Daughters phone to fly....
What phone were you using?
Samsung J5, doesn't seem to work. Works ok on an S6 though.
Oh good now we know your intelligence level!
😳
Did u realise latter you weren’t very funny with all the screaming?
errr no..
and you battery is dead....
