    OTG soon to be history

    So this is the first I'm hearing of this. I took a moment to send them my thoughts to [email protected] per their request on the DJI forums. I may have been a little heated while writing this: Good morning, I am providing some Spark feedback per your request on the DJI Forums. First and...

    A Couple of Vacation Shots

    All were tweaked a little bit in the Snapseed app.

    Smack in the middle of a red zone

    That lawsuit wouldn't go anywhere. Manufacturers are not the ones liable for someone misusing their products. Just like a car manufacturer can't be at fault for someone getting in an accident or firearm manufacturers can't be at fault for someone shooting someone else.

    Pano shot?

    I would center your subject in the frame and then shoot the pano.. You can always hit the playback button in the app and it will stich the pano while you're in the air. That way you can make sure you got the shot before you land.

    A Couple of Vacation Shots

    Took a trip to Tennessee and was able to send the Spark up for a few quick shots.

    Smack in the middle of a red zone

    So you want DJI to include these areas? I disagree. I think they can be in the GEO system and give you a notification, but they should not make national parks a restricted zone. It should be up to the pilot to know and fly according to the low. DJI is showing that they are not capable of/willing...

    New Spark - 12 flights all perfect over the Weekend

    That's not the dronie mode that is shown in the promo videos. See above at 1:16.

    New Spark - 12 flights all perfect over the Weekend

    New firmware as of when? When you say no issues with the quickshots, did your Spark increase in altitude in Dronie mode? I've seen most people (including myself) saying that it simply flies backwards with little to no increase in altitude. I believe I also saw someone say theirs did fly back and...

    My first weekend with my Spark. (Lovely and full of #Panic)

    I completely agree with it being too small to see. I've definitely lost it in the air almost every time I have flown it. I have a love/hate relationship with the size.

    OTG Cable Issues

    So I have been using my OTG adapter with my iPhone 7 recently and have been having issues with the remote control settings. Does anyone else have issues with your button mapping being reset every time? I have to go in a reset my custom buttons every time I connect via OTG. I am also having...

    Photos from my first few flights

    Definitely need some more practice on video, but I've been having a blast taking pictures and panos. All edited on iPhone in the Snapseed app.

    Gesture Mode Limitations

    I mapped the C1 button to takeoff/landing. I just fly the Spark close to me, hit the button and grab it as it's descending. Works perfectly.

    Tried Activetrack at 30+ MPH...Kind Of Surprised By Results

    From what I've seen in a couple other videos, Activetrack is not an option in sport mode.

    Tried Activetrack at 30+ MPH...Kind Of Surprised By Results

    That's impressive. Although this does seem like this is almost a best case scenario. A large, high contrast object on a relatively uniform light background.

    Off-Brand Amazon Props

    I disagree that a battery is the same as props. I don't specifically know what the internals are, but DJI batteries likely have some proprietary software and hardware inside. I highly doubt there's that big of a difference between the DJI props and the ones I posted.
