    Is it safe/healthy to fly five batteries in a row with the spark?

    It would take a lot more than a minute to cool the sparks inernal parts down thats why there is a cooling fan and a heat sink inside. Also if there was a problem with temp you would get a warning flag up on your screen.

    I fly 8 batteries at a time with my spark and 6 batteries on my phantom 4 no problem

    Lost my brand new spark

    It's possible that the fog could of appeared as a solid object like the ground so carried on up from the conflict between the height being recorded and the down facing camera's

    DJI drones will have a “local” mode soon.

    A tablet/ iPad that I use just for my p4 and spark. I do not use it for anything else like banking/ social media/ personal contacts and so on. When the dji app wants access to my files all it gets is what is on a blank tablet. I use a different iPad for my personal life and that' how I like it...

    Drones For Less, New York

    In the very first instant if I had a warranty issue I would contact the company from which I bought it from. If I had no luck in getting them to sort it out I would get my credit card company involved. As I purchased items via them they have a legal duty to get invloved. This has happened to me...

    The company doesn't offer pre paid tax of any kind and for all intensive purposes leads you to believe it is based in the UK. They only take credit card payments so if you have a problem with item not being delivered etc you can take it up with your credit card company as they have a duty to...

    Drones For Less, New York

    No worries mate. I only found out about them being an American company after I received my goods. Never had a problem with them from start to finish. As others have spoke about import tax, I would of thought if there was any to pay then it would of already been paid by the company. I have...

    Drones For Less, New York

    For your information. I bought my spark from them about a month ago along with 3 extra batteries. All arrived 2 days later with no problems and no import duties. I only purchased from them as I was lead to believe there were a UK company. I think the only way that they got my order to me so...

    Idiots ruining it for the rest of us

    Hi, don't give up hope mate. There are many more places to fly. Go and do some door knocking on farmers. They have thousands is acres. I fly over farmers land with there permission. I have even saved the lives of some of their sheep when I was flying over a ravine well away from any animals...

    Spark Legs

    Can I ask where you purchased them? I've seen them on fleabay but don't like the low % rate that the sellers have selling them

    Spark for professional use? Please comment.

    I'm not bias about the spark. I have one, fly it and love it. The pictures and video are great for keeps and sharing. The portability is fantastic being so light. I also have a phantom 4 which to be honest is in a whole league of it's own. I enjoy flying both and find they both have a place in...
