    Wobbly Video

    Spark will not return to

    Not that anyone does this but you should read the instructions before using a new device. Secondly watch your instruments and know where they are. ?

    Mavic Mini vs. Spark

    What you gain on the swing you lose on the roundabout. MM has no manual video settings so all that potential to pan with a 3 axis gimbal is lost by constantly changing exposure. Plus, nobody has tested its durability but we know Spark is tough. So MM is a bit of a fizzer. Maybe just save up for...

    Skydio 2, the drone GoPro wished it created

    They have very limited production capacity from video of their assembly line. I don't DJI are concerned at this stage.

    Spark for Search and Rescue...

    New DJI Disaster Relief Program launched at Airworks 2019

    DJIs big brother approach has certainly backfired on them for US government applications. Collecting data from anyone should be a privacy choice the customer should make .

    Yaw errors - magnetic field errors and ATTI Mode

    Iceland is close to magic north. This would mean any compass would be challenged. If IMU isn't spot on the target for yaw PIDs would be poorly matched. PIDs or IMU calibration are the core of quadcopters. It's imperative they are tuned right.
