Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

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.
