I blindly updated this morning an just flew 3 batteries. All went well except losing the video feed for a few seconds at one point. I just attributed it to boats in the area and/or wifi interference. Didn't notice anything bad in the app.... LP

I wonder why DJI chose not to include a calibration option in Go 4 for the Spark.... LP

I caught the $40 BB deal too. I only use the polarizer....I think it really helps with glare. LP

Oh - and the biggest surprise/downer was the fact that the map, home location and radar display are totally missing when controlling the spark via smartphone (ie: no RC). Without an easy way to verify the home location, it feels WAY to risky to fly without the RC. No idea why DJI would do...

I picked it up yesterday, and played with it all day today. So far so good. After some hiccups getting started (settings, video transmission issues, missing options), I think I have it all running smoothly now. I love the size...but holy crap this thing is loud! Anyone make low noise props...

We got a pretty good blow here in the northeastern US as well (I'm about an hour from Montreal). I too spent yesterday afternoon with the chainsaw! Glad to hear you are ok. LP

LOL - thanks rak! That's what I needed to hear. Although I hope I don't suddenly find my Mavics useless! I've got way too much invested in batteries and accessories! Now I just need my BestBuy gift cards to arrive. Funny suggestion if anyone else is interested (I'm assuming US only). I...

Thanks Andre - Yes - my intent would be to get the thing in the air with gesture mode, then pull out my phone and connect via DJI Go & Wifi and take it out of gesture mode. I just think it would be quicker than finding a spot for my landing pad, booting everything, checking for...

While I totally get the recommendation, if I wanted to do all that I'd just use my Mavics. The idea here is to have something a bit quicker and less cumbersome for quick still shots. Thanks, LP

Thanks Hayuatma! That helps a ton. Can you clarify what you mean by 'instantly notice after flying mavic is gimbal stabilization'? Do you mean it is worse, better or just different? What would I be compensating for? I'm assuming you mean the yaw stabilization is worse due to the EIS...

Folks - I've been a Mavic flier for about a year and a half, and loving it. I even got my Part 107. Now I'm thinking about picking up a Spark. I read the sticky, but I have a few more questions. I realize the Spark is a selfie drone, and that is essentially what I want...although not...
