Bienvenue Paul! The Spark is an amazing drone, and I can't wait to see the footage you get from there!

I factory reset the phone. If you ever need to do that, definitely burn a battery putting all of your settings back where they were. It was aggravating, but necessary.

Thanks to everyone for your support! It's funny, I had everything set up just how I liked it. I had forgotten what it took to get there, so I spent quite a while hammering it back into shape. Or so I thought! Then a day later, I had a glitch during a flight where my controller disconnected...

After beating my head up against a wall, I finally found there was a corrupted file in my DJI Go Folder. I tried deleting it, moving it, etc., to no avail. I even tried a third-party cleaner app that got totally hung up on it too. Eventually, I factory reset the phone. Luckily it was not my...

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback! Yep, more than a few birds this morning. The final shot is a pelican, though.

Fun with the drone this morning. I got up early, slammed a cup of coffee, and decided to fly at one of my favorite beaches. I got very lucky with the clear water, which only happens for a few days a year. Editing was in Premiere Pro, with no color correction or grading. I did pull up the...
