    Violating FAA rules with software hacks

    Sorry but a spark hitting any large plane is not going to crash it(no more % chance than a bird). I think you may have seen the video put out a while back showing a high speed impact between a drone and plane, but this video was proven to be misleading at best and just plain wrong at worst. I...

    DJI Price Increase - Only 5 Days Away!

    I find it hard to believe DJI is operating on such razor thin profit margins that they HAVE to pass along the cost to us. Rather, I think DJI called up the state and asked what they should do. Bejing said screw em, up the price and blame it on america.

    Master airscrew release props for the Spark

    I'm still not convinced. Some people saying dji can see the lower motor rpm these props run at vs dji props and use that to void warranty. Not that they will, just that they could if they wanted to. But that's just my paranoid opinion, I didn't even use a different than supplied USB charging...

    Why are you just quoting all of Ositalv's twitter posts?

    Disable gimbal

    Look up cinewhoops if you really want good gimbal-less footage.

    Trusting the system

    Sure, plenty of reviewers have. If it really scares you that bad set up a camera first so you get it all on tape. If something goes awry post it to youtube and tag dji, sure they would take care of ya.

    Disable gimbal

    No, IMO it is impossible to turn a DJI spark into anything even remotely resembling a race drone, and you are only wasting money to try and turn a precise digital camera drone into a rough and tumble fpv racer. All you will do is lose races, and that's assuming you don't completely destroy your...

    Spark range with and with out OTG CABLE and parabolic antenna

    Also OTG cable did help me with signal stability/hanging up when turning, especially in sports mode. Also I used to have choppy/poor video signal when I would turn around at say 3-400' away, no longer the case with the OTG cable. Using Iphone 8+.

    Spark range with and with out OTG CABLE and parabolic antenna

    The biggest thing you need to remember is to keep it within visual/line of sight to the drone at all times. Because invariably eventually you are going to experience some kind of interference/malfunction, and when that happens if you can't see the spark you have a very low chance of recovering...

    Just bought my spark waiting for it to arrive anything I should know?

    Whatever you are thinking about flying inside, about it being safer and unable to fly away, forget that. Take it out in a large open area outside, and only take off after you see the "rth updated please check it on the map". Then check it on the map to be sure it has saved. Also remember to...

    Precision Landing almost caused a crash

    Pilot the craft manually, rely on return to home only in actual emergency situations. And as msinger posted in low light conditions you were already asking for trouble.

    New unboxed or never flown unregistered dji drones....

    Agreed, but until DJI adds a offline find my drone, or a way to report them stolen there really is no way to know for sure. I'm sure plenty of us take out our drones and leave them on a park bench for just a second while we look at the dog, kid or anything else that distracts your attention...

    Spark Battery Drop Out Captured On Video

    Sorry Nilan, but we were both talking about a crash onto GRASS, distance and conditions don't really matter when yours fell onto hard pavement/concrete. And yet another reason for me NEVER to try and use that palm launch crap. I did that with my $40 toy drone, I could just throw it up the air...
