 Good morning YouTube! How you doing in there? Oh, welcome to the daily vlog where I film running adventures, life adventures, and yes, flight adventures. I had an old drone, Mr. Drone. He's no longer working. He crashed a couple times. So after a little hiatus from the skies, we are back with the little DJI Spark. This little guy is it's like holding a little parakeet. It's just a little teeny tiny drone and I love it. But I have had a heck of a time and maybe you have as well, and that's why you're watching this video, trying to connect a Spark to a remote control. When I purchased the Spark, I didn't realize that it did not come with the remote control. I didn't know that. So you have to try to connect these two things together so they can talk to each other, right? It's called binding. B-I-N-D-I-N-G. So up until about a half hour ago, I didn't know what binding meant between the drone and the remote control. So I'm gonna show you right now how to bind these two together so that they talk to each other so you can fly in the skies immediately. It's just so frustrating that DJI did not come up with a better process or that there weren't more tutorial videos out there on YouTube that made this process so, so, so simple. Alright, let's go. Step number one. Take the drone here and slide the battery right into the bottom right there. Boom. So you got power. Step number one. Step number two. Turn on the remote control. Press this power button in the upper right-hand corner. Press it once and then press it again immediately, holding it down for you know, two seconds. And you're going to notice that there is a red blinking light and that means the remote control is not bound to a drone right now. Step number three. Turn on the drone. Alright, the back of the drone, so the camera is right there, little camera, so on the opposite side, the backside of the drone, is the power button. So press it with your finger once and then press it again and hold and then you're going to hear a noise. Wait for it. Ah, so now you know it's turned on. These yellow flashing lights in the back of the drone means that the drone is not connected to any remote control. Next step, get the remote and you're going to hold down three buttons at the exact same time on the remote and it is the red flight pause button on the left side, the function button to the right and then this assignable button on the back side of the remote control. So hold it down for three seconds and then once it's flashing that's what you want. So the next step is to put the drone into bind mode, which to do that you hold the power button for three seconds. You're gonna hear a beep. Do you hear that beep? After holding the three buttons down for three seconds, this light you want it to be green. So it's green, you're good to go. The remote and the DJI spark are now bound together and they will communicate with each other. It's amazing. Okay, the last step is that I want to fly the spark not with the phone, I want to fly it with the actual remote, but I want to be able to see the screen live through the camera on my phone. So I want the remote control and my phone to communicate. So to connect those two things, this is how you do it. You go into your settings, you go into Wi-Fi and then believe it or not your remote control has its own Wi-Fi communication and so you're going to find the spark RC Wi-Fi connection, spark RC and then there's going to be some other numbers which is distinct to your remote control. So click on spark RC and then you're going to have to enter a password and that password is on the back, it's on the back of your remote control, right there. Once you enter the password hit join. Now that we're connected to the remote control Wi-Fi network, you want to open up the DJI Go 4 app, let it launch, it's going to take a minute to open up. So now I can see what the drone is looking at right through my phone. Voila! Let's go fly! I am literally flying home from work. Oh baby! Welcome back Mr. Drone! Hello YouTube! All right we're going to get some five guys on the way home today. Just catching a little flight time on the way. It's burger time, it is fried time. I'm going to give you my, I feel like true love has not been on the vlog in a while. It's been, you know, rocking and shaking, rocking and shaking here. And we've got burgers and fries tonight.
