    A terrible decision..

    Spark > all other drones imo. The size along with palm launch/land make it better than anything else for my needs. However I am an avid traveler.

    Fresh Water Damage - Successful Dry Out

    Just bought a battery guard after flying all this time without it. Sad we have to do that.

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

    Shoot man, even if we get 5 battery charges while out in the field and retaining the ability to fly while charging I'd say that is a win!

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

    My batteries are typically sitting around 20% when I get them on the charger. I have charged all 3 batteries at once like this to 100% in about an hour. It is surprisingly fast.

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

    Well with my original posted solution I can definitely charge all 3 of my batteries twice and still have juice left. So those thinking it's not a good solution are mistaken, I have been thoroughly enjoying having this power pack in my kit.

    Charging batteries off the spark??

    I use the 3 battery charger connected to a power pack with an AC connection. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073P81Z9V/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I Couldn’t Believe It!

    I've had birds of prey swooping on my Spark more than a handful of times. It'll pucker you right up lol

    Circle Feature

    I've been practicing (and getting decent at) manually circling around me. I find the automatic circle feature looks down at too much of an angle for most of my uses

    First Drone Skill Needs?

    The best skill to have as a drone pilot is the ability to task load. Like my other big hobby scuba diving, droning requires the ability to continually cycle through different tasks and keep an eye on a variety of indicators adjusting as necessary.

    Maintenance

    This is why palm launching/landing is the absolute coolest feature of this drone and makes it the one for me.

    Spark+Portable Charging Station+Controller+Charging Station Bag=Perfection

    Totally, the Spark is a fantastic mobile drone. Spark remains my personal favorite on the market since it is the only one I can launch/land by hand.

    Spark+Portable Charging Station+Controller+Charging Station Bag=Perfection

    I keep seeing this being repeated and it is incorrect. The Spark still has a smaller footprint than the AIR even when folded. The height of the AIR makes it less "travel size" IMO.

    Looking for recommendations on the best apps to use for merging my AEB photos on IOS, thanks.

    Water crash... Is it dead?

    No offense but, how are we supposed to know? Hopefully you fully dismantled it and dried it with a blow dryer. I would let the parts dry for at least a few days before turning it on. Electronics typically work shortly after being drowned, the issue comes in over time with rusting and corrosion.

    Police came to my house?

    I kept seeing this topic pop back up to the top of the list. I came in to see if it was perhaps going off the rails. Was not disappointed.
