    Spark landed in creek. Got it back, but it's soaked....

    That sucks! I had a Air but sold it, and I will never be without my Spark! I completely understand, even though I have 2 P3s and a Zoom. Rice will pull moisture, and so will Orbeadz for plants. Amazon has them, or I could send you some. I have 10lbs or so. I wouldn't get my hopes up as others...

    Any Pilots in the Florence SC Area?

    I would like to get a group together in the Florence County SC area. Anyone out there interested?

    Lost DJI Spark in Slovenia

    Have you contacted DJI? If you have the flight logs and it wasn't Pilot error I think that they might honor the replacement. I am not 100% sure about that, but have heard that they will. Best of luck!

    Hi! - New member from SC, USA

    Hi! Good to hear from a fellow Low Country pilot. I just traded up my Air for a Zoom. I absolutely love it! My Spark is still my favorite though!

    *Sold* New DJI Goggles - Never Activated

    I sold them, never activated them. I am curious if any other brand works with the Spark and Pro/Pro 2. Those were very heavy!

    I am always losing the video signal lately

    Yikes! I have never seen that?!?

    How to do the quickest descent?

    That makes sense, I am a fairly new Pilot. I am just now learning about the internals and how they operate. I wish I had more time to dedicate to Quads. Thanks for the clarification!

    How to do the quickest descent?

    Yes, they are smart but wouldn’t increasing the power to the motors strain the batteries and possibly shorten the life? Good to know the motors don’t seem to be affected. I read another opinion that DJI intentionally crippled the Spark and that it is actually capable of performing as well as...

    Part 107 vs Part 336 for Volunteers

    Both 107 as far as I can understand. When I registered I think there was a question about “would you volunteer for emergency services if they needed help?” I said yes, but I cannot remember exactly where that question was since I got my 336 first and then my 107. Anything considered...

    How to do the quickest descent?

    I am very curious about this. From other videos and posts, I understand that you can get the same or better performance as the Air. I wonder what it does to the life of the motors and batteries?

    I am always losing the video signal lately

    Haha, my Spark goes with me everywhere! Never know when you have the opportunity to shoot something great. I have a Zoom, P3 4k, Yuneec Q500. They spend more time at home than I do. I do love the Zoom! I sold my Air to get it. I did like the Air, but it was like a Spark Pro, not close to the Pro...

    crashed spark error camera sensor error and air encoder error 0x80000

    Awesome! I was hoping that was all it took. They are tough little guys!

    *Sold* New DJI Goggles - Never Activated

    Maybe I will active them and check it out. Especially since DJI has them discounted now, I probably won’t get much for them. Do you know if they can be used for other VR apps? Like Movies or games? I guess I could look it up... been busy lately and unfortunately haven’t had much Fly time. Thanks

    I am always losing the video signal lately

    Without an OTG cable and in the middle of nowhere. I don’t even try to use it. I don’t have any other problems with it. It’s my favorite “kick around drone”. I had an Air but sold it and got a Zoom. I still fly my Spark the most.

    crashed spark error camera sensor error and air encoder error 0x80000

    Yes, I get parts on eBay for Cables and such. I’ve never had a bad accident with mine, but it did get out of control in my office and hit the wall pretty hard. No problems! You may not need the cable if it just became loose. Symptoms would be consistent with a loose cable, or something worse...
