    Spark distance

    I use these and they work great. Don't forget these make it a "Directional" antenna and you will have to point the antenna at the bird. I think most people that have a hard time with these extenders are not concentrating on pointing directly, or at least in the general direction, of the bird...

    I flew my spark over some motorboats, had a near miss...

    Two wrongs don't make a right! Scenario: Boater swerves into a drone 30ft off of the water purposely, said drone gets knocked around and goes into a frenzy, said drone heads toward another innocent boat out of control and crashes into the boat, ruptures a battery and catches fire. Innocent...

    Yes, it looked like he swerved in at the drone and then back out!

    Considering adding a Spark to the mix.

    Yes, range is a definite issue with the Air and the Spark which is why I compare it to the Spark rather than the Mavic Pro.

    Considering adding a Spark to the mix.

    I stand corrected! If the Mavic 2 has a better cammera on it (1" sensor) then I might consider. But I'm set on getting the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 for video if the Mavic 2 doesn't WOW me! Just waiting patiently on the DJI unveiling like everyone else.

    Considering adding a Spark to the mix.

    I just sold my Spark and bought an Air. I loved flying the spark and the convenience of it. I hated to sell but with having the Mavic Pro, Air and the Spark was just not necessary. The Air is definitely the "Spark Pro" and it is well worth the upgrade when you get ready to do so! Though, I would...

    Spark distance

    I've had mine out 2.5 miles and great signal and I regularly fly 1.5 to 2 miles away. I use a parabolic extender and they work! Out 2262 meters or 7,419 feet on 5.8G

    Inverted Free Fall!!

    Looks like a bird grabbed it by the landing skids and took it to the trees! Probably dropped it when it could not eat it. Else I think it would be spinning and tumbling. Also, those landing skids, along with the battery, should make it bottom heavy and it would fall with the skids facing...

    Circle near-crash ... why?!

    The "Pause" button is good to use when things like this happen.

    Spark External Battery Adapter

    No, not me. I was hoping for Christmas but looks like it'll be next year.

    Spark External Battery Adapter

    I agree with what you're saying here! I am definitely not putting any extra weight on my Spark! I use my Mavic for that and it's fun to mess around with but I am leaning more toward cinemaphotography (amateur of course) for my Spark (and my Mavic and when the Phantom 5 comes out).

    Spark terrible video feed with Huawei Mate 7, would be better with Xperia z5 premium?

    Not to piss you off but it's not "peer" it's "pair" but that's besides the point!;) I hope your xperia z5 works for you. Since you stated that you phone is "kind of old" you might have so much bloatware on it that your resources on the phone are being used for that instead of the Go4 app. I...

    Can not change between Satellite Displays

    Wow, now that you mention it I don't know if I've ever checked that out on my spark! I have the controller as well and using an OTG cable on my Nvidia K1 tablet. Update- Just checked and mine goes into Sat view, no problem using 5.8G. I know it said a lot, but the only thing I can think of is...
