    What went wrong?

    What was the air temperature? I’ve flown here in the UK below freezing with no problems, but I keep the batteries in a pocket under my coat when it’s cold

    Litchi and course lock on spark

    I had an issue with waypoint missions in litchi whereby if I took off in sport mode, I would get this error, even when switch was returned to normal mode. I only get the problem if controller is in sport mode when the litchi app is started. Maybe similar issue for you?

    Photoshop CC - auto merge for panoramic

    I use PS CC and you’re right - the perspective often looks off. Once merged, I flatten the layers and then stretch the corners of the image to get the shape (edit...transform...warp) how I want and finally crop the image. You could also use filter...adaptive wide angle to straighten things, but...

    Is there a Spark v2 on the horizon?

    I’d love raw files, personally. I would guess that’s a modest firmware change, but I’m not expecting it any time soon for the same reason - it would stop me buying a mavic

    First drone, first video

    If you use tripod mode, it slows the controls for smoother turns. If you’re willing to use DJI assistant, you can reduce the yaw response only (saw a recent thread on here about that).

    Videos

    What type of computer do you use? They might not play if your computer is not powerful enough. Windows Movie Maker is free on PC. I use iMovie on a Mac (also free). Some use davinci Resolve, which has a free version. If you edit on your phone, then there are some cheap/free apps too. iMovie...

    Are the videos on your computer? If yes, then go to YouTube on your computer and sign in (or create an account). You will then be able to upload your clips. You can upload from your phone, which I have done a few times using editing software that will put it in YouTube for me (though fails...

    Camera Lens Comparison

    I believe that strictly speaking it’s not a Hasselblad lens in the M2P, but rather some clever software. I would (will?) choose the M2P over the M2Z because the larger sensor will deliver better stills.

    Way point Apps

    Exactly. The iPad will need an internet connection to open the mission you saved on your desktop machine.

    Way point Apps

    I have recently started using Litchi with my Spark. You plan a mission on the computer. Open mission in the iOS app (which you need to buy) and use that instead of DJI go 4. The app loads the instructions to the drone for you. There are lots of YouTube vids that explain and extensive help files...

    Camera Lens Comparison

    The zoom costs less money than the pro. The pro has a MUCH larger sensor than the Spark (and the zoom), so is IMO the obvious choice if still images are the priority. However, if highest image quality is not the priority then the zoom might make more sense.

    Is there a Spark v2 on the horizon?

    I think there will eventually be a replacement, but who knows when (DJI always play their cards close to their chest). Therefore, if you will have an opportunity to use a drone, but it now. If you won’t fly much in the coming months, wait and see (in my inexpert opinion, I wouldn’t expect a new...

    Videos

    Are you referring to the cached footage in the Go4 app, or the files on the SD card? If the latter it depends whether you want to put the video on a computer, a tablet or your phone. For example, my laptop has an SD adapter, so after each flight, I put the card in the reader and copy it into my...
