I'm curious as to how many Spark owners/pilots are pursuing (or have) Part 107 exam? I've been working on it for a while now,and I think it's been beneficial even if I never take the exam. Are the materials available at Rupprecht sufficient to pass the exam? Looking at taking the exam in the...

I wonder if, when you take a pano series, you were to add some manual photos from the same point, or a second pano at the same position but a different start heading, if ICE will automatically stitch them all together if they are all processed together? In other words, copy the files from one...

I think they are designed for two different purposes, and they both function best within their target purpose. Personally, I don't care about range so much - I live in the PNW and once I'm a quarter mile out or so, there are so many trees here that I lose line of sight,so what's the point of 7...

At 1:20 - ish your gimbal seems to be trying to adjust itself - was that intentional or were you switching between POIs? Mine does that automatically and I wish I could get it to stop! That is one very nice video!

I need to make a slight modification to my controller - when it holds my phone, sometimes the buttons on the inboard side get arbitrarily pressed (sometimes together), resulting in a disruption on the screen. I'm thinking of gluuing a small piece of plastic on the controller to keep the phone...

Sounds like a prop issue - exchange like props and try again. If it's a prop issue the birds CPU will take a few milliseconds to respond and will then make adjustments to the motor speed. Either that or the CPU is sending 'sport mode' commands to the ESC in series not in parallel, so that the...

I have not solved this problem per se, but use of a warp stabilizer has done wonders. I use the stabilize function in PowerDirector set to 10 or 15. Unfortunately,it does reduce resolution a bit, but it does work. Use it in moderation and only set it as high as you need to.

Hi, Off to do a little flying this morning and I have set up a waypoint mission. I find that tighter turns around a point tend to make the gimbal 'hunt' a bit, like it's looking for something, and I am wondering if placing the POI a few feet below ground will soften this effect. The focus of...

Love the music!

Boats and ships often have some serious onboard electronics - radar, comms, etc.... is this possibly a factor?

I've been running beta awhile, and I really love it. I don't 100% trust it yet, but it's more me that I don't trust LOL

... and don't forget about Mission Hub, on the LITCHI website. You can set your missions (waypoints) online, transfer them to your device and fly them. If you have your device on while you are in the app, the mission you create and save will download to your phone in real time (or close) and as...

1. Sign up as a BETA tester. 2. Download the app from either of the two places 3. Install the app. 4. Your device will automatically update the app 5. Good to go! For me, the whole 'beta' process was transparent. From the user perspective, it was a direct jump from 3 to 5 and the first time...

I'm wondering if it's a home point/collision avoidance issue - is it significant that the distances are the same. For example, what if you were trying to land on the ground and the 'home' point was recorded on top of the platform? It would think you're trying to 'go negative' . Could...

Here's the vid...
