When I had my Spark, the only problems I had flying in cold weather, was that the gimbal would stick when being pitched up or down. Sometimes pitching it up or down freed it but on really cold days (-10C or colder that didn’t work). Although it was not rated to fly in weather below 0C, it was...

@Hector_Sosa the Spark is a great little drone. Hopefully you can bring those batteries back to life. Unfortunately, nowadays Spark batteries are hard to find and are expensive and there are no third party batteries available. I would hold off on any updates to firmware until you make sure that...

@shawnski451, nice video! I used to fly my Spark in weather just like that. I loved my Spark - it was a great drone, but here in Canada the rules for drones above 250g are significantly different. That fact and the difficulty in finding batteries at a reasonable price led me to sell my Spark a...

Congratulations on your sale. I found it hard to let my Spark go - it was an amazing drone. I probably would have held onto it if the battery time was better, there were third party batteries available, and it was <250g. Mine also went to a good home and with all of the accessories that I...

Good luck with your sale. I recently sold mine (last May)and all the accessories for CAN$275. I didn't have the Flymore combo but I had the Charging Station and 3 good batteries with lots of accessories. I replaced the Spark with a Mini 3 Pro and have not had a single problem with it. It is a...

Got the wrong information from the tech agent at DJI on the phone. When I did a chat with another agent I was given the correct information that confirmed what I had thought and what I had researched - that the Spark is not bound to a DJI account and therefore you don't need to logout of your...

Follow up, didn’t realize that I had to log out of my DJI account on GO4 with the Spark on before selling it before the new owner could register it (according to DJI). Now I will be driving to meet the guy to get this straightened out so he can use his drone. I thought this proceed only existed...

Finally sold my Spark kit to a nice guy via Kijiji. The Spark has been one of the best drones I have ever owned even by today's standards with the Mavic 3s and Mini's. It is such a versatile drone. I am sure the new owner will get lots of great use out of it. Chris

Thanks. We did have great colours this past fall. I usually always have video going while going out and coming back just in case there is something I miss when looking for photos to shoot. Having the 7X Tele lens on the Mavic 3 sure helps. Today I noticed these cool bubbles coming from under...

Thanks.

Here's a collection of 'garbage/scrap' clips I cobbled together from video shot heading out or back from sites that I flew to to take photos/panos. Since I take 99% photos/panos there was no attempt in the video clips to do cinematic or smooth filming, it was merely clips shot going out and...

Great shot RotorWash!

Maybe just a bit. Been having wacky weather. A few weeks ago we had 30cm of snow, now it’s all melted and yesterday we had damaging winds. What’s next? Will have to exercise those Spark props and batteries soon too. Chris

I disagree. I don’t think the Spark is any more prone to fly-aways than any other DJI drone. My Spark has over 600 flights on it and is almost 5 years old. I have never had a single problem with it. Many people rave about how it is built like a tank but I wouldn’t know because I have never...

I never thought I would get to the point of selling my Spark - it's an amazing craft! But the long flight times of the Mavic 3 have spoiled me. I take 99% photos and do a lot of panos and need the flight time to compose my shots which the Spark does not have. In Canada, the Spark is in the...
