USB OTG connection for drones

OTG CONNECTION VIA USB: WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT?

Some drones, such as the DJI Spark, can use a so-called OTG (On The Go) connection. This connects the phone and remote controller via USB and the Wi-Fi network is no longer necessary. The Wi-Fi connection between remote and drone will remain active, but because there is no other Wi-Fi source nearby, the signal improves considerably so that you will experience a stable connection and video feed for longer.

Dronekenner sells high quality OTG cables and adapters .

Some tip for your OTG connection:

• Place the phone in flight mode before connecting / flying.
• If the blue "Go Fly" is not visible in the DJI GO4 app: unplug the USB connector from your remote controller and then plug it back in.
• Make sure you use the correct connections.
  • Spark controller: micro-USB
  • Mavic controller: micro-USB and USB-A
  • Phone / tablets: micro-USB, USB-C or Lightning (iOS / Apple)

Note: OTG is officially not supported (anymore) by DJI and you may need to install a previous firmware update to get the most out of your OTG connection. Whether it is worth missing the latest update against a more stable connection, we cannot advise and depends on the updates. Many people still buy and use OTG satisfactorily and personally we do not fly without it.

Update: OTG is working properly again in the latest firmware updates!
