Exactly, you're guaranteed to get a battery that's less capable than a new one but you don't know exactly how much less capable it is. And since they're only a few dollars cheaper than a new battery it's just not worth the risk in my opinion, cough up the extra few dollars and get some piece of...

Sounds like the Spark would be a good option for you. It's a very capable drone, for most intents and purposes it's as capable as its bigger brothers. Good video and picture quality, as long a range as you really need, and it can be pretty quick too. If you're serious into photography and...

Does it not work since the betas then? I want to try Litchi but I like my OTG cables too.

I haven't used the new version but in the previous version you could go to another part of the app to control the disconnect behavior, might be in the Advanced settings at the bottom of the Drone tab. Hopefully they didn't get rid of that option because I want my Spark to RTH if/when it...

You can adjust the behavior for what the Spark does when it disconnects in the app settings. I believe the options are Hover, Land, and RTH.

I printed some labels at work with my info and reg. number. I put one on each side of the body, in line with ground sensors in front of the battery (basically where my fingers are in my avatar). I figure if I put it in the battery compartment it may go unnoticed because people may not know the...

I'm also a gimbal up/down for the trigger and AE lock for the Fn. I've tried other functions but I find those to the most useful and frequently used.

Eh, a new one is only $8 more, I think I'd just cough it up and get a new one.

My Spark lives in the hard foam case that it came in which has a little "shelf" for the gimbal to sit on so it's always protected when I put the case in my drone backpack. I also use the joystick protector for the remote, just to be safe.

I believe the gimbal is deactivated in sport mode (that's why the view tilts with the aircraft) so there's probably no stress being put on it at all.

Really? It only takes me 60-90 seconds to get my Spark ready to launch. It's sometimes about 2 minutes before I'm in the air because of waiting for GPS lock but 2 minutes is still pretty quick in my book. I recently turned off obstacle avoidance and it does make the Spark quite a bit quicker...

Depends on what kind of editing you want to do, the more complicated the edit the more powerful machine you need. You'll want at least 8gb of RAM but the more the better. Minimum i5 processor but i7 would do better. Big part is the graphics card, again the bigger the better but you want one...

Nice. The biggest drone race in the world is happening this weekend about an hour away from me, I'm planning on going to film it. 2018 MultiGP International Open - MultiGP Drone Racing League | FPV Racing League

A bit light on details there. If you're referring to the gesture mode feature where you wave and it backs up I'm not sure you can adjust that.

Came here to post the same thing, the swooped back wings are a giveaway.
