| 2021-07-08 |  | | The spark does not show up in this app. My phone's Bluetooth sees it through the phone's settings. No issue with the phone as I connect through Bluetooth with my bose headphones, and other Bluetooth products. It's an issue only with this product. A waste of money. Very disappointed. |
| 2020-12-24 |  | | Tried too many times to get the time lapse to work. It's a hit or miss. They shipped me a second item but the experience was the same. Tried the android app from two different phones with two different Nikon models. The only cinsistent result is nothing works. |
| 2019-11-07 |  | | Doesn't work. I've put way too much time into trying to get this product to work |
| 2019-02-03 | | | Works on HDR, that's about it! When i first read about the spark i was excited since it was a small dongle with features that my camera does not inherently have on it's own. Since sony stopped supporting playmemories on the newest models at this time (a7riii, a9 and my camera) this was a good thing as a step between. It is supposed to support my camera but other than single-shot and hdr i can't get anything to work, least of all timelapse which was my #1 reason for getting it. |
| 2019-01-03 | | | truly awful product, never got any of the features working in a usable way, the device itself died, battery maybe? but not even a month in. Total con, avoid. |
| 2018-09-29 | | | App doesn't work. Can't connect on WiFi via Pixel 2, iPad, or iPhone. Used 2 Canon cameras and just wont connect. |
| 2018-06-28 | | | Works great on my Canon 5D III, I'm really happy with the interface and functionality. |
| 2018-06-12 | | | App doesnt display camera menu. Spark doesnt turn on. When connected to the camera the spark doesn't take photos. |
| 2018-06-06 | | | Much better with the last firmware update. One little bug: when you ask the app to blink the LED nothing happens. It also falsely think the cable isn't connected but actually triggers the exposures.Is there a way to see my last shots? I largely preferred the pulse device which allowed for access to camera settings, but it seems that this is just how much information one can reliably transfer via bluetooth. And even here it is somewhat unstable. |
| 2018-05-06 | | | Wont allow change of long exposure time stuck at 30 seconds android platform Defaults to nikon despite setting to sony Hit or miss on synching camera Get a no cable message even though attached |
