    Check out my new solution for charging the Spark in the field

    The advantage of AC outlet chargers is versatility of use. The SP90 has no AC outlet. It does have a micro USB port for charging cell phones, etc. The primary advantage to the SP90 is not having to use the Spark charging hub and its attendant AC DC converter. More stuff to carry around. The...

    I am very satisfied with the 3-bay Smatree SP90 Portable Spark Battery Charger. It consistently charged 6 Spark batteries - from 20% to 100% - in 45-50 minutes. The SP90 itself takes about 4 hours to fully charge with the supplied quick charge AC-DC converter. The converter gets quite hot...

    That is a handy device for the car. Or an inverter to power the three bay hub.

    5 charges from 20%-100% is good. I'm thinking of working with 5 batteries. With the ability to recharge them all, that is effectively 10 batteries or about 2 hours of flying.

    Agree. My first three charged simultaneously from 20% to 100% in about hour. I depleted all three to 20% and charged them again with whatever was left in the charger. This time the charger went dead at about 35 minutes leaving the three batteries at 69%, 72%, and 92%. I'll repeat the test...

    The LESHP 27000 mAh Power Bank appears to be identical to the Omars 24000 mAh. It takes just under 3.5 hours to fully charge the LESHP from empty to full. I placed 3 cold (not hot) Spark batteries (each discharged to 20%) in the Fly More Spark 3 battery hub and connected it to the fully...

    Infrared black and white photography

    Not bad. The hot spot from that distance isn't critical. What was the iso? I'm thinking a 630 filter to help compensate for the ir blocker.

    Infrared black and white photography

    Definitely a major hot spot, which will not be eliminated with removal of the internal ir blocker. I am also an infrared shooter. How did you mount the ir filter to the Spark camera?
