Snow always makes photos underexpose. Bump the exposure by like 2/3 before you take the pic.

Hi everyone, What have you found to be the best settings in PS CC for panos? When I merge on the DJI Go app on my phone, the perspective is perfect with the horizontal 9 pics. In photoshop, I'm getting too much distortion in my opinion. Center is fine, but the side start to stretch and warp...

Notifying ATC only applies to B-C-D airspace right? Notifying general aviation airports that don't have a tower are just the manager correct?

You could always get an older iPhone like a 6s. They may be super cheap. You don't even have to put in on cellular. Use wifi to download the app and get updates, then you use the controller with the phone on airplane mode with OTG cable. Boom cheap screen.

Hi everyone. First of all, this is purely hypothetical. I'm a mild mannered person and not looking for a confrontation. If I'm flying in an area, and someone asks me to not fly over their property, I'm either just agreeing to leave or asking nicely to finish capturing something I feel is...

I have a pretty thin case and pushing it in means the controller tries to push the case off the phone. No dice without modification. I do actually prefer the phone elevated with this mount. Then my big fat hands don't cover the screen. I use this...

It's not compatible with my wallet. Isn't the thing like $650? Dang. I'm not a super fan of the spark controller, since I can't fit my 8plus and case in the holder. I have to mount an aftermarket metal stand. But that sure beats an expensive controller.

Really? Seems odd you'd need over 3 to be honest. I know using real GPS units in the plane, once you have triangulation on 3 satellites it's locked and ready to go. I may change this down the road, but it seems it finds 12 easily within 30sec or less. What do you recommend?

Appreciate the info. From now on for testing, I'll hover it right next to me or take it further away after RTH is set. i typically see like 10-12 satellites and confirmed ready with GPS lock and the audio confirming RTH has been updated.

I was recently flying my Spark in my basement mainly trying to figure out how the controller worked and to connect/disconnect it. It's not a great habit to fly indoors for so many risks, but at least be an experienced flyer. It's really easy to hit the wrong stick and fly up in to a light or...

This is super helpful! It was further than 9ft horizontal, but maybe the GPS accuracy was far enough off that it felt the need to land? I know from flying real planes that best accuracy is always down to around 30ft.

Thanks for the info. It was over 90% battery left when the signal was lost. I always wait for GPS lock and ensure home point is set. It's supposed to come back to me at 98ft AGL. At the very least, it should hover in place right with a healthy battery? If you can't RTH, then stay put...

Hi everyone, New to Spark and to this forum. I'm loving the Spark so far. It's my 3rd drone and it's just amazing. I am confused though why the Spark goes for a slow auto land when a loss of signal happens. If it has adequate battery, shouldn't it start it's trip home? I was starting to...
