    Spark 2 scrapped?

    Agree. The US market is by far DJI's largest. The US economy is still strong, but drone sales are declining. I think this only by the declining offering of local retail stores. Do you have the numbers...sales, unit sales for the last two years? I think drone sales peaked in 2017

Unfortunately, no information was provided explaining the postponement nor was a...

    Swanage Bay, UK

    Ken Burns is a fairly famous producer/director of documentaries. He did several well known documentaries for NPR including Civil War, Baseball, and Jazz. The affect he is famous for is taking still images and very slowly zooming in on them while maintaining focus. The technique really made the...

    Swanage Bay, UK

    Nice You may be interested in cinemagraphics, which is known as the Ken Burns affect. Essentially, the still image is presented as having movement either in or out, fast or slow, large or small. You apply the affect in post production/edit. I imagine many video editing software applications have...

    YAW twitch still there after slowing it down and applying the expo change.

    YAW twitch still there after slowing it down and applying the expo change.

    The Spark has limitations, but if we live within the limitations the performance can be satisfying. Yaw is out I have a DJI Mavic Pro, and while it's Yaw is amazingly better, it is not perfect. The imperfection is a twitch simply from moving the stick ever so slightly too much, and...twitch...
