    Sphere (Panoramic)???

    I’m yet to try but I understand that the panoramic images are also stored individually in a sub folder in the SD card so you can stitch from scratch to get a much higher resolution pano / planet. Hope this isn’t bad info as I’ve not tried yet but interesting if it is right.

    Swanage Bay, UK

    Ah yes the Ken Burns effect! I had that on some of my very earliest video editing software on my Mac (eMac) nearly 20 years ago and did always wonder who Ken Burns was!

    360 Panoramas - viewable on Oculus / Streetview

    Thanks Webvan - I had no idea the Oculus has a native viewer for 360 images and works really well now I have worked out how to side-load images! I think the perspectives that 360 photography on Vr brings is a brilliant use of the Spark ????

    360 Panoramas - viewable on Oculus / Streetview

    Have been enjoying VR 360 via Spark lately - especially viewing on Oculus VR. If anyone wants to try: 1. Take 360 photo on Spark (42 images stitched together!) 2. Upload that 360 panorama picture from spark to Google Streetview with the right location 3. View on the Wander ap on the Oculus Go...

    Swanage Bay, UK

    Have been enjoying flying the Spark lately and getting a profile going on a Instagram under @sky_pics_uk. Would love to interact with more Spark enthusiasts on Instagram so if anyone over there look me up!

    Not all media goes to album

    I had some really weird behaviour not saving thumbs to phone, not caching video etc shortly before the Spark corrupted the SD card. Not sure will help but since I got a new Sandisk card all has been well.

    Phone shuts down

    Hi - I can only suggest the basics of making sure that your S8 is updated to the latest Android version, and is running the latest version of the DJI Ap. I’ve never used other software such as Litchi but if you are having major problems with Go4 that could be worth a look but I’m no expert on...

    Box Hill, UK Cycling short video - Spark

    A friend was doing repeats of Box Hill on the weekend and managed the height of Mont Blanc. Got there for 05:30 and managed some short drone footage. Very lucky as the SD card corrupted towards the end. The lesson which I always used to do with still cameras: carry a backup card!!

    Best tried and Tru method for connecting rc to spark

    Hi - I had similar issue at first. I fixed by ensuring the phone was paired to the remote control first by WiFi (with the drone turned off). Then turning on the Spark, and it then connected to the remote and has been fine ever since. Hope works for you. I think I’d done something odd in the...

    Bird

    I’ve had a lot of interest From seagulls and Oyster catchers! I try to avoid early mornings around certain parts of the S coast as it seems to make them go crazy! My concern is one could knock it up on end therefore killing the motors. My normal tactic is to fly up as quickly as I can. Liked...

    New spark owner concerning noise

    Yes that noise sounds familiar to mine too. I always thought was gimble motors or something keeping camera stable. Shouldn’t be anything to be concerned about

    First flight over water!

    Many thanks for your kind comments - however I must admit that this video was almost entirety due to the ‘Active Track’ smart mode!! After launch and flying to the start point the Spark did the rest itself by flying backwards and panning to keep the boat in the shot. An amazing small drone!

    First flight over water!

    A great pair of videos - thanks for the inspiration to get more footage and look more into the editing.
