    Adding another drone to my collection.

    Have you considered the new Mini 3? .... The reason I say that is because to me Sparky seems like it's built to last, whilst later versions of DJI products feel like if you get 3 years you're doing ok. I've a Mavic 2 and it feels like the batteries last at best 3 years depending on how you...

    Meditational Drone Footage

    Nice flying and nice video. Like that plane landing at 3.49 minutes.

    The Pier Project - a cinematic short using the DJI Spark

    Epic work... looks super professional. Watching your video makes me think one of the big advantages of Sparky over other drones is actually how well it moves and it's almost built for these beautiful Cinematic images like you've captured here so well. Larger Drones like the Mavic Pro2 might be...

    WARNING: Magnetic force issues!

    In addition to all that metal and steel in concrete I'd also add other mobile phones nearby, those new fancy GPS watches on your partners wrists, even some electronic car keys, telephone and mobile phone towers. Usually when I've had connection issues, lost connectivity I'm near one of the...

    Spark distance

    Have you considered the age, compatibility of your mobile phone, have you tried another phone? I did have terrible image transmission, when not using an OTG cable and this was fixed with the direct connection. At distance, the signal and image started breaking up, and even other mobile phones...

    Maianbar, South Sydney

    That camera gimble movement is almost as smooth as the music. :)???

    Looking to buy a Spark, but not sure I can justify the cost

    Don't mean to be negative but a couple of other points for you to think about.. 1) the drone needs a micro USB card of reasonable quality, and 2) battery life is pretty short (say 10 minutes) and so most people end up purchasing a second or third battery . 3) Could be some type of Government...

    Ship Chasing

    Good flying. Filming a moving object over water and especially with distance is much harder than it looks. The part at 1 minute where you were beside the boat, then behind it and flew level is great flying.

    Regret selling my spark.

    Putz said..."I will say this too, the MP doesn't handle wind as well as the spark did, it must me the smaller footprint in the air. " I just ordered a Mavic 2 Pro to go with my Spark. Anyone else feel the same way about the Mavic and Spark in wind?

    Taking Spark to Australia

    Andre has covered this well Crispjon. You'll need to put the Batteries in the Carry on. Most Airlines in Australia require this. Unless of course you enjoy you're name being called out and your baggage opened at an airport. As far as Australian drone laws goes in regards to the Spark you'll...

    Spark and some Kangaroos.

    I didn't experiecne any problems, but I didn't go deep into the Pine trees and stayed on the edge of it always facing in. The trees were on the edge of a clear Paddock, which was an advantage. So I set up in the clearing first, and then flew into the Pine trees, at eyesight level from the...

    Spark and some Kangaroos.

    Thank you very much. These Kangaroos are wild, although not too worried about humans. They can jump fences, so they come in an drink water from the dams and eat grass.

    Spark and some Kangaroos.

    I had to hover for a little while above them and then try and float down. Unfortunately the film was a little jumpy for those reasons. The Kangaroos weren't too worried and were more focused on eating grass. They're used to seeing Humans and they hang around the house due to some wild dogs in...

    Spark and some Kangaroos.

    Yes. That was the part that I filmed with the Osmo. The goat didn't eat my spark. Just that one part with the Osmo and the rest including flying through the pine trees was with the Spark. Thankyou for watching it.
