It's been almost three years since I flew my Spark. I've got an old DJI Goggles RE and never tried them with the Spark, I'll have to give it a try.

Very nice, I'll have to visit to see it for myself.

I made my first Spark flight on 19-Jun-2017 but have only racked up 25 miles & 17.75hrs of airtime. But its been to 15 countries. (Flags). Low miles is probably because I have too many other DJI drones. Got 1139 miles on all the DJI machines.

The 360s are interactive on your device. On a PC you need a program to view them interactively. I use a free one from GoPro called GoPro VR Player. Kolor | Download GoPro VR Player

They are very easy to do. In the GO4 app Camera mode select image type and switch from single shot to 360 panorama. After landing with everything still on go to the PLAY button and the 360 pano can be selected, downloaded and stitched by the GO4 app. The completed 360 is then saved on your...

Here are a bunch I made last year, they are all posted on Google Maps. Click the links below. After the 1st page opens click "GO TO SITE" to open the 360. Clicking back to YOUTUBE takes you to a video of my trip through Europe. 1 Port of Amsterdam, Holland https://goo.gl/maps/KcoP6qYZdn62...

I love making 360 panos as well. You might consider upgrading to a Mavic Air. Beauty of this machine is that it stitches the pano while it is flying.

That is what I do but you have to add to the top of the composited image in photoshop because the output does not have a 2:1 side to height ratio.

I use microsoft ICE or Image Composite Editor to make 360° panos. Post many of them in Google Maps. Here is an example. G Maps 360 Also have a YT video on how to use ICE How to use ICE

You might consider a new or used Mavic Pro. Prices have come way down. I've used it for photogammetry projects.

Yes, especially after having this machine for over a year.

Spark is a rather slow machine and in sport mode I hate the tilting camera. There is no way to turn that off. However in P mode turning off the obstacle detector will double the speed of the Spark. (and no camera tilt)

Made my own stealth props for my Spark, and the blades fold too. RPM is down to 9300 from 12150 resulting in ~2.5 dB noise reduction. Still flies great.

I would take an Air over the Spark almost all of the time. I have both. 2.7k 60fps video on the Air is what I most often use. Edit at 1080P letting me zoom the video in post without pixelation. I also love the 360° panoramas the Air make. Spark does not have this feature.

Don't know why I didn't see the Intelligent Flight Mode in my GO4. (Sport Mode switch) Also have the CL HL switches in Litchi.
