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!
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.
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.
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.
As a 70 year old and so far only was flying using controller for very simple flights, I found your tutorial one of the best, if not the best for getting beginners doing wonderful flights and getting great videos very quickly. I can now amaze my friends with my 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?
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.
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.
Ed. Thanks for taking the time to do this tips and tutorials. I've watched other peoples quick start videos and yours is the very best. I am a television engineer and deal with technology training everyday and you have a gift for being concise and informative. Best Spark tutorial yet. Thanks again.
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
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!
I've been considering getting a spark and have watched about 100 videos on them. This by far the best complete video of an overview I have seen. Thanks for putting it together.
THANK YOU!! I got my Spark 3 years ago... initially got so frustrated trying to figure out how to fly it that it ended up collecting dust for most of that time... then I saw your video.. clar and easy, now I am up and flying!! Thanks again!!
There is definitely a steep learning curve with these DJI drones (compared to the oodles of toy stuff out there). This is a very well done video on most of the basics. One thing that was *not* covered was how to make sure the Remote has "Home" set before flying. If "Home" is not set and you have some kind of issue, Return to Home (RTH) is not going to work! So be sure to set that! Also note that if you set RTH in your front yard then drive to a park several miles away *and do not set RTH to the new "Home" at that park* -- guess what happens when you press RTH from the park!
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!
I just bought my drone and realized how how lost I was. I watched your vid and walked through all your steps. thank you! your video is super helpful. I'm taking the drone over to Florianopolis (South of Brazil) in December. I'll be sure to share vids and comment any issues I run through. Thanks again buddy, more people should watch this vid if they're buying the spark.
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 :)
Ed that's the best and clearest demo I have seen on gesture control. Very well done my friend. Another thing I love about your demo videos - you list times in your description where you can find different features being covered. A huge kudos !
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!
ty so much, my partner brought a Spark 3years ago and he has never used it, so I decided to try it, downloaded, but OMG, I'm not a swavvy tech person, so finding your video really helped and understand the operation and how do... So a big thank you showing us oldies how to understand this technology lol.... fingers crossed I do this right
OMG, I'm Sean. I watching many videos but, most them just talk and show about their drone. I love you video because your details and show all details and advise from a to z. I mean, everything including your experiences. Thanks that i found your video. Finally i would say, I love it.
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!
Ed, your u-tube video was just what I was looking for especially the use of the tablet. I will be able to take my Spark and tablet on vacation to Mexico for New Years.
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
Thanks, really helpful. I just got the Spark my first ever drone for a trip to the Philippines in January. I kept pausing the video and rewinding, then checking the settings myself. Thanks again (subscribed).
Really great video man and this is coming from a guy who has the Phantom 3 and the Mavic! I sold those two drones and recently got this Spark at a great price so I pounced on it. This video was the perfect little refresher course plus it taught about some of the new features like the face recognition take off. Great job!
Well I have to say the presentation was amazing, I listened to quite a few on you tube, but this guy has it spot on, his voice is easy on the ear, his words are clearly put across, and aside from the fact I still can't get my drone to couple up I can not fault this video. How I wish I was able to go one on one with Ed so the drone could be up and running this year.. I suppose people like me should really NOT be involved with electronic magic but the temptation to fly must attract people of all ages..So I will leave it there, it would take for ever to explain my situation, but suffice to say I have to find a person to help me get the SPARK set up. Ok, Thanks for the video..10 out of 10.. Cheers Barry...ps I am 70
Great advice, you explained more here than I got from 10 other videos and DJI. Because it’s bad weather outside I didn’t want to fly it out there, but it’s brand new so wanted to have a go. Took me a day how to figure out how to take off manually in atti mode. Thanks
... 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.
Hey Ed, you are doing a great job on your videos! I have had the Mavic Pro for about nine months now and figured it was time to give birth to a child, so ordered a Spark. I couldn't resist the Christmas bargain price and it will keep my Mavic company on trips and shoots. Your video was very helpful to watch before I take delivery later this month. Keep up the great work!
I bought a “Hermit bag” for my spark, since the Flymore bag wasn’t able to fit all my goodies and the 3rd battery I picked up an Amazon. The bag was only $24, works great!
Been researching all week and finally picked up the Fly More Package with extra rotors today. Your video was extremely helpful and very well edited. Good job man.
Thank you so much for this. I got mine just before Christmas but not used it yet as I have been trying to find videos like this one to show how it needs to be calibrated properly.
Great video brother, getting my spark in a few days and im so excited! can finally stop watching people fly them on RU-vid and can go out and fly my own lol cheers
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
