Ed Ricker Vlogs hi I have a question. I can't see in the app the voltage monitor of the battery in the right up corner main screen like you show in the video . Why ?
Good question! I tried going through the app to see where one might toggle that on or off and I can't find it. The Mavic has that setting toggle in the Battery panel of the DJI GO menu. Seems to be default for the Apple iPad with the Spark.
Hi.. I just brought my spark less than a week. My problem is hand gesture take selfie photo myself. I confusing in led lights green, Orange and red. Green = recognized Orange = get ready Blinking Red = snap in If u can demonstrate a new video show as how that work? And last problem is spark drone link to RC remote or spark drone link to smartphone either way both are WiFi. But when I disconnect go to smartphone or RC remote to spark I have to rebinding again over and over why such a hassle?!? I had a bebop 2 drone never happen.
Ed Ricker (0:09 seconds) i noticed your camera is tilted , i just bought one today. Mine has slight tilt too. Is it normal ? Wouldn't the image & video be tilted as well ? Please reply . Thank you.
Hi. I went to the controller setup. Turned on wifi, clicked on the spark , put in password. It said no internet connection. All other wifi connections are working fine. HELP!
Ed ricker, this is one of the best tutorials i have ever come across in my life, full of information exactly what i was looking for as beginner.The content is so well prepared, i just became an instant fan of you. A BIG THUMPS UP..
"The content is so well prepared, i just became an instant fan of you." I'm another instant fan! This video could be an example for people to study the principles of successful instructional videos.
One of the best how to videos i have seen, well spoken, clear and easy to understand directions and no loud music playing in the back ground. AWESOME!! Thanks.
Ed Ricker Vlogs i then took mine out to test and crashed it. 4 floors from my flat it dropped haha. also ed my camera seems to be out of focus how do i fix this?
Ed this is one of the best tutorials I have ever come across , full of information exactly what I was looking for as beginner. The content is so well prepared just became an fan of you. A THUMPS UP.FROM ME
Ed - thank you for such a comprehensive yet easy to watch video! My friend forwarded this video to me because I’m looking at buying a drone in the next few days. I truly appreciate the time you took and the material you covered!
Ed, I just discovered your channel and decided after watching your very polished presentation, to join. A great flow to your videos, without the presumptive stuckup undertones that so many vloggers have these days. You seem keenly interested in helping people. It really shows in your tone and body language. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and found it easy to follow. Thanks for sharing. I love the Spark and hope to see more.
this is the most complete and clear tutorial I have ever seen on youtube. Thank you for sharing, the best for you. greetings from your friend in indonesia, southeast asia, have a nice day :)
Same, the Spark is not the latest and greatest anymore. However this means a few bargains come up here and there as owners upgrade. I find the Spark to be an amazing machine.
Hi there! I've just got my new Spark, I had only a couple of flights so far, because it is always rainy in the past days here in Budapest. But I used my time to watch dozens of DJI Spark reviews, how-to's, guides, tips and tricks and so on and I can tell this Beginner's Guide and walk through is one of the bests. Even better than DJI own tutorial videos! So thanks for sharing, really usefull! :)
Just purchased a DJI Spark today.. I had a lot of questions, considering I had only flown toy drones until now. This video is exactly what I needed to get started. Thank you for a solid review! I can't wait to upgrade after I learn this platform!
you have such a great way of sharing your very informative and excellent deliberation of technical communicative skill, cognitive of its very aspects.And you are just keenly superb...deserving a plausible commendation. More power!
I have been watching a lot of video material to learn the Spark. Many have been helpful, but yours took me beyond the beginning phase. I had to rewind a few times to catch it all but I got it now! Good video
... very unselfish hi- tech individual, very good quality instruction overall. I want to buy one now because of this training material. Thanks a lot Ed.
SUPER VIDEO. AFTER WATCHING IT I JUST ORDERED ONE FOR MY MOUNTAINER DAUGHTER JAAHNAVI SRIPERAMBUDURU WHO IS ON HER MISSION TO CLIMB ALL THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF SEVEN CONTINENTS AND TILL NOW COMPLETED 4 CONTINENTS BECOMING INDIA'S YOUNGEST MOUNTAINEER AT JUST 14 YEARS ONLY. SHE IS ALSO THE YOUNGEST GUIDE AND TRAINER, LEARNING HARD AND TO PURSUE HER DREAMS WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT, BUT SHE WILL DO AT ANY COST FOR HER CAUSE TO EMPOWER THE GIRLS AND FEEL THEM THAT GIRLS ARE NOT ONLY PRETTY BUT STRONG. BLESS HER
Best Spark video I’ve seen yet! You’re great with your explanations & delivery. I wish I’d seen your video earlier, I bought my Spark last night...I’ll use your affiliate link for the Refresh Plan though. I’ll watch this again while the batteries charge up the first time. Thanks again, subscribed! 👍🏼
Just found your tutorial on getting started with the Spark.I have watched a lot of these types of tutorials and this is by far the best i have seen.Well explained and no unnecessary fluff just the facts.Everything i wanted to know you covered.I have had my Spark for over a year and have hardly used it because of a fear of doing something wrong or crashing so it has sat in a cupboard until today when i saw your video.Given me the push i needed to get it out and start flying.Thank you so much.Will post again after i have a play this week.
Thanks for all the info. Just picked one of these up and I'm excited to fly it but I like a lot of info before I go flying. You tips are clearly articulated and the video editing helped make it all make sense.
Thank you for this excellent Spark tutorial! As other commenters have mentioned, yours is one of the best intros for people getting started with the Spark!
Great video although I came across a little issue during the IMU calibration process because instead of holding the drone up on its sides like you said... it wouldn't calibrate until I just figured it out to let it rest on its dedicated side naturally without actually holding or touching it and it worked like a dream. But other than that this video was the best I've found! Great work!
You are a natural at software presentation, that's rare. (trust me... I was). Go get a job as a rep for some hi tech company and the commissions will be high six figures, annually. Outside of that... great presentation in every single way! thank you.
Wow, I'm glad I found your video, I know it's old but my Spark will be here Monday,you have already helped me a lot, Thank you, I hit that sub. & thumbs-up
Great, I really enjoyed watching the video because I am planning to buy one, So the video is a free training for me …thank you allot for helping beginners
I'm finding myself really wanting one of these spark's. My Mavic is easy, THIS IS EASIER!! The 1080p video looks fantastic even after RUclips crushes the Hell out of it. Wish I didn't have cars to fix right now. That's ok, I can wait a little while. Great video Ed!
I linked my phone directly during the start of your very informative video...then my controller no longer was linked. Odd I can’t seem to do either without setting it up over again. But at least I know how to do both when I choose now.
Thanks for the very helpful introduction to to the DJI Spark. I've been having problems getting the remote and phone links and have wasted 30% of my battery figuring out how to get the remote and phone linked to the drone. I think I've been turning on the drone, then the remote and phone or phone and remote. I think you have best help for me with that problem. I'll let you know in a few days when I test your method.
Really useful! I had trouble starting the drone in the mountains, with no internet signal close by - so better do the setup at home, indeed. Also I couldn't find the way to take off by using the remote control joysticks in the manuals, I was always using the mobile app. Gotta try them later on :)
Receiving my SPARK tomorrow. Found you video wonderfully done in ALL respects, so I "liked" and "subbed". Noticed behind you a Pinus Elliottii (Slash Pine) tree, which is my favorite, due to it's beautiful characteristic bark. So you're most likely in the southeastern US. If you happen to be in south Florida, I'd very much like to spend same time with you and really learn how to fly my new "toy" - without losing or crashing it. Many thanks!
There's a lot of comments posted here complimenting how well you deliver instructions. I couldn't agree more. I subscribed and thumbs up. I truly wish others deliver as you do. You're the best man.
I had my first (uneventful) flight with the DJI Spark today and it was great! I don't think I can overstate the impact it had on me. This is NOT like other drones and RC stuff. It has a special category in my mind now that I've actually flown it. I'm so glad I was concerned enough about the success of my first flight that I found videos like yours to guide me through it. I needed every bit of advice and walk through's I could get. Keep it up! Thanks.

The Spark really is a pretty enticing drone. Yours has been one of the most helpful and positive reviews. Thanks.
Great review! Ed is very knowledgable about the spark.
Fantastic video! Absolute beauty, 100x better than Casey Neistat's review. Thank you.
