    Checking in from Montreal, Canada!

    Bonjour! Be sure to read up on tips for flying in cold weather, and on the latest Industry Canada regulations for the 250g-1Kg class!

    Transport Canada rules

    Do you think the home policy would actually cover damage I might cause flying out at a park? That point made me uneasy. Did you see DJI's rebuttal of the proposed rules? It's 19 pages, but a good read. They pick the proposed rules apart and provide commentary (both in favor of and against some...

    Disturbing news for Android users

    It doesn't mean anything, it's just another channel for DJI. Phillips Hue was in Apple stores very early on too, and it works fine on any platform (with an API too). Android still represents a massively bigger chunk of the market in total compared to Apple, so much so that DJI couldn't turn...

    Colden hour sphere

    Nice! When you shot, did you expose for the sky or the ground?

    Special Use Airspace - on Hover and AirMap but not FAA

    Also see if there's an altitude range on the airspace. I've seen some that go from 1500 upwards (for example). In that case, being restricted to 400ft, you wouldn't be violating anything.

    Picked up a new Multiple Battery charger for the Spark

    That looks cool! Link? I was wondering if anyone had picked up the OP's unit. Nice to see it in use! Thanks!

    Just Another Irresponsible Drone Pilot

    They got proper clearance and notices to let everyone know they were doing the exercise. Using AirMap the drone pilot could have done the same (and could have seen the temporary flight restriction).

    I hope they charge him with something..

    No 3D vision in sports mode

    Correct, the front and bottom prox sensors are not used in Sport Mode. The manual on the DJI site is helpful for explaining all of this.

    It has arrived......Portable Charging Station

    And I have two =D My favorite for hobby stuff are the 12v 12ah/14ah SLAs. Nice size, OK weight, and nice bit of power. I think these batteries plus an inverter with the OEM DJI charger to do the charging might be the best of all worlds (at least assuming you're using a giant SLA that isn't...

    Video Jerkiness

    It'll jerk if you rotate left or right while shooting (the missing axis), or if you record while speeding around in Sport mode. Wind might make it jerk too. Like all things, the better you are, the better the output will be. Your output will get better as the Spark becomes your 5th limb!

    POLL : Ipad 9.7" (2017) or Mini 4 (2015)

    Did the mini fit OK in the Spark controller? Mine seems way too big to get in there!

    Gimble Limit?

    In normal mode if you shoot a 9-shot pano while at that upper limit, it will look up past the limit without any settings adjustments. Another fun fact!

    Panorama Fail

    I've had this happen a few times too.. Each time it seemed to be caused by a gust of wind. I'm not sure if tripod mode would make any difference.

    It has arrived......Portable Charging Station

    Can you charge the station from a portable USB battery bank and USB cable?
