    DJI Care Refresh

    I followed up with my insurance company today Hartford and they have a very short list for " all risk" coverage ie, jewelry , art work, stamp collections, coin collection. They told me drones have not been added yet to the list and could not request it to be added at this time. So back to DJI...

    DJI Care Refresh

    Thanks for clarifying the policy that it's categorize under. I'm going to see if my insurance company Hartford will endorse the same type of coverage. Thanks again. Aloha!

    Interesting to know that you got your Spark covered via your State Farm insurance poylicy. What type of coverage (category) did State Farm insure the Spark under to get that kind of blanket coverage? Thx!

    First time in active track

    Thank for the landing tip in the palm. I did it after reading your post...Yeah! I ended up grabbing it ( with back facing me like you suggested) as it was hovering and then flipped it to it's side with my wrist to turn off the motors and it worked. Aloha!

    First time in active track

    You did a great job in capturing how great "active track" is. I haven't caught my Spark in my hand yet...tried a couple time but got freaked out on how fast the propellers where going ;-)..got to give it another try I guess. I forgot to ask you in the last post how high where you?

    Map Radius

    To be honest I not sure how accurate that mapping is on the app. But you might what to check out an app called UAV Forecast (in the Apple app store) for your phone and it has a real good map showing where you can fly and the NFZ's around you or at whatever location your at flying. I use it all...

    First time in active track

    Great tracking! The active track works so good! Have a question, how many minutes where you flying in "active track" before you landed? Did you take off and land on your boat?

    Video Flying over Kailua Bay, Kona Hawaii

    I tried to follow your instructions on adjusting the gimbal via the DJI Go4 app, but my version 4.3.18, doesn't have the icon with a camera and line through it in the pull down window option from the upper right corner of the app. I'll try do some research on the forums like you suggested and...

    Video Flying over Kailua Bay, Kona Hawaii

    Thanks for the comment. I did all my editing in iMovie on my iMac, didn't do any color adjustments more splicing than anything. I unfortunately forgot to film in "tripod mode" ( which slows the movement while panning with the Spark so the footage doesn't jerk so much). I agree with you that the...

    Video Flying over Kailua Bay, Kona Hawaii

    Your right I'm not sure what caused that horizon tilt either and didn't even notice it until it was mentioned in another post. I'm going to check out some new footage and see if it is still doing that. If it is the gimbal for some reason that would be a DJI issue right or is there a way of...

    Video Flying over Kailua Bay, Kona Hawaii

    Thanks for the comment, I didn't notice that the horizon was tilted until you mentioned it. Not sure what caused that either. I had an issue a couple days prior to shooting the video with a warning " gimbal overload", I proceeded to land my Spark and took a can of air blow air around the gimbal...
