    Don't you have a warranty?

    DJI Spark Fell From The Sky From 400'

    400' drop with zero damage! Tough little bird! Mine was doing some of that too, I never had it go up to limit altitude and hang there until it ran out of juice, mine actually fell out of the sky while still under power reading zero altitude - it thought it had landed. Same as you, I re-set...

    Thanks for telling me WHY I’m not allowed to fly

    That's what I do too when I can't argue with common sense. Much easier to wave your arms, shout non-sense and hit the ignore button.

    Thanks for telling me WHY I’m not allowed to fly

    "the law is the law" ? Hmmm.. ok. I have news for you, the terrorists don't care what the law is and will fly their drones where ever they please. As for your example, that was just a tad closer than 35 miles. I get not being able to fly within a reasonable distance of a high value...

    Thanks for telling me WHY I’m not allowed to fly

    Sorry, no one will ever convince me that my hobby drone flying under 400 feet and within visual sight is going to take out a high value target 35 miles away. That's just silly.

    They have a long history of knee jerk reactions for sure, but that doesn't justify more. 35 miles? that's just nuts. All you're doing is preventing good citizen from having an accident that might, some how, takeout a high value asset, because a bad actor doesn't follow the rules anyhow and...

    Thanks for telling me WHY I’m not allowed to fly

    I understand that, but there are other drones with a greater range, so how's that covered? If I take off at 5.1 miles from the stadium that means I can fly into the NFZ? I would hope that it's programmed to stop when it hits the NFZ

    Thanks for telling me WHY I’m not allowed to fly

    It is relative to the other NFZ, but I think it's all a great big over-reach. How about a 5 mile zone around a high value asset and 1 mile around the stadiums... And 35 miles around DC? that's just stupid

    How is that a good thing? you're 1.5 miles away. I think it's an over-reach.

    Bought a used Spark, drifting while hovering & altitude wrong

    Can't hurt - I reinstalled my firmware and it seemed to help me.

    Free 4k editor called Open Shot

    I'm used to Adobe Premier and the Davinci software to be a little cumbersome. But it's remarkable what you get for free.

    Spark being discontinued?

    Anyone want to buy a green one?

    Couple of quirks with my spark

    Here's the crash flight log I was easily over 200 feet when I started my descent, the log shows 63

    Couple of quirks with my spark

    Thanks, I plug her in tomorrow and have a look. I reinstalled my firmware after the crash, does that wipe out the logs?
