Agree. As a photographer, I need the capability to shoot RAW, hence the reason I typically shoot with my Mini 2 (or P3A when it’s windy). However, the Spark still renders really solid images/videos for what it is. If/when I want to have fun, I fly the Spark. If/when I aim to capture higher...

Agree with the above post. Often times, airplane mode doesn’t disable WiFi connectivity. Be sure to make sure that your WiFi is disabled before trying to use the OTG cable. I fly mine with the iPhone 12 Pro Max and have zero issues.

I’ve been flying DJI products since my first purchase back in 2016 (Phantom 3 Advanced). Since then, I’ve also bought a Spark, as well as my current Mavic Mini 2. To this day, the Spark is easily one of (if not) my favorite drone. It’s just so reliable and well-designed. After 3 years of owning...

No, I obviously didn’t capture this image with my Spark. However, I wanted to share it anyhow. Traveled out to a “dark zone” in WA state earlier this summer. It’s the Milky Way Galaxy, captured via DSLR using long-exposure. Our universe is truly beautiful. I hope you all enjoy it.

These are lovely. I can tell you invested some time in editing these images. Well done!

In weather terms, they call this a shelf cloud. Common with the big storms we get here in the Midwest.

You can also use/download GIMP. It’s free, and does a nice job. It’s really easy to use.

There should be an option for a monthly subscription. I believe I pay $10 a month. Well worth it if you’re serious about producing and creating professional looking photos. I use it for my clients, as well as for my personal photography.

I took this back in late-May and forgot to post it. 20 minutes after I captured the shot, we were bombarded with enormous hail. Regardless, it’s one of my favorite pictures. Very ominous...

Another tip I would add is to purchase Lightroom. It sets the bar in regards to properly processing and fine-tuning your pictures.

Yes, the Spark does quite well for only being able to shoot JPEG. I take all of my Spark photos in AEB mode. This allows me to capitalize on (and work with) 3 different exposures. Otherwise, the pictures are often over saturated and mediocre.

As an avid photographer (outside of drone flying), I use my eyes and instincts to determine the best composition for a shot. The rule of thirds is something I focus more on if/when I have structural or geographical factors in my shots. Otherwise, I take 99% of my pictures with an end-product in...

Thanks. Picture was taken in Kirkwood, MO (a suburb of STL).
