    Calling all Mavic and Spark users - real world differences?

    My p4p is the least used in the fleet. It all comes down to your use case. Mp performs across the board and I would call it the master of several for the shots I like to get. Dlog and bit of post and I can put my footage next to my p4p no problem. P4p is so much larger and louder that I...

    Potential buyer for DJI Spark

    To the op. Everything that goes up at some point goes down. Spark is likely your best option but has risk like any other rc of falling out or into the sky.

    Spark = Best Disposable Drone

    Spark and MP are better together ... does that mean that every Spark owner and every MP owner need to own the other --- well Yes eventually :) Had my Spark and MP out this morning (magic hour) and took the Spark up first and framed a few great shots ... realized that I really wanted something...

    To landing gear? or not to landing gear?

    I have launched dozens of times.... I actually hold my palm out and above my head but have never had it do anything but go straight up.

    Simultaneous Charging

    I find charging using the usb port on the charging hub is significantly slower than the 3 in the bay. I have 6 bat's for my Spark and just do 3 at a time.

    Power Bank

    I actually saw some of these when I was at some of the dji stores in China over the summer and at the time did not own a Spark and assumed it was a carry/box. Would be cool if they release for usa or sell for that matter.

    No microSD card?

    Unlike P4P, MP Spark does not by default come with SD as it will vary by deal/vendor etc... if you purchased directly from dji then you should have received a card as they include one but your luck with other vendors will vary. To be honest the micro sd they include is throw away for me but...

    Spark pilots with other prosumer drone?

    Similar thread posted here - lots of good insights to be had --- Mavic Owners - When do you fly your Spark? The image trade off is substantial between my Spark and P4P and even MP for that matter but that's a bit obvious. What is not obvious is how fun/easy the Spark is to take with you and...

    Polar Pro filters arrived

    I keep telling myself I will not buy these for my Spark -- I purchased them for my MP and they came with my P4P and to my eye they are crazy over priced.

    Spark = Best Disposable Drone

    As a long time photog that's precisely the point. The I2 with X5s is the optical quality I would like but then again I'd literally NEVER have it with me. It's like wanting the best picture of said bird .. my 600F4 is the ultimate glass for that shot but again it sits in it's suitcase, in my...

    A kind of newbie question that I have not seen covered before

    Agreed - I have seen folks who had too much interference launching from a balcony (metal all around) so they held it up and hand launched ... fifteen feet or so it switched back to GPS mode but when bringing it back it was not able to get within 10 feet of the take off spot w/out going back into...

    Disgusted by DJI customer care behavior, need technical help...

    Seems the obvious answer if you are getting paid - invest 400/500 on a backup S.

    Noise compare Spark vs. Mavic Platinum

    MPP on order but my MP at eye level is QUIETER than my Spark - has to do with the frequency so your ears may tell a different story.

    Sensor on spark

    Yes - wait for gps lock (Green light - Ready to FLY - ALWAYS). You can turn on/off obstacle avoidance based on the situation you are in. I actually find that OA works better (less false positives) than with my Mavic. For OTG I turn on Spark, then turn on RC (get green light) then plug USB...

    Sensor on spark

    Yes - for obstacle avoidance. I turn off the ones on my MP since I have had a false positive but so far with the Spark it has performed flawlessly in the same conditions. Flying low and slow around playground equipment and low and slow over water - no problems. Explain what happened with your...
