I believe in part it is to protect the Spark owner from themselves. I think there are indeed cases where they pop-off but for the vast majority it's probably people not making sure they are properly and securely attached. Easy enough fix for DJI to make so they figured why not. I've had my...

+1 There can be environmental circumstances. I too have a "test route" I fly all my drones in my neighborhood. I don't tend to push my Spark too far as I lose sight of it very quick but my Mavic Air, I can fly the route and complete it in the morning. I can fly the same route in the...

I treat my batteries like I treat my rifle magazines. When I insert the battery, I tug on it to make sure it's secure.

True, but the difference between new and “broken in” is marginal when it comes to duration. It’s power output where they make a difference when broken in...

Buy a DJI CrystalSky Display. if thats not a viable option, there are companies that make non-glare sheets you put over the display. There are also companies like hoodman that make "shades". I use both and it's just okay.

You my have created it on the 28th of March but you posted it on April 1st... Why the delay? None of what you mention in the video is a "Must Have". By the very nature of the definition of "accessories" means they aren't necessary. Being "accessories" what is a "must have" and a "nicety"...

Yes, not by my Spark but an FPV drone that was spinning at full throttle. I was "somewhat" lucky. Three of my fingers were hit hard. I didn't even want to look but when I did to my surprised to no "open" cuts. BUT I could see below the first layer of skin, "blood blisters" forming. Also...

I'm the same way. I tend to grab my Spark and take it along more often than I do either Mavic. Simply put it comes down to space and ease of transport. The Spark in its foam case has everything I need with the exception of the Remote. I take it when I'm not sure if I'm going to fly or not...

Glad you are flying at your age. Hoping I still am and can at your age! Now I'm going to respectfully poke some fun at you... Come on, if you are still that active consider bending over to put down your Spark or pick it up part of your exercise! ;)

Thats another good point. The MP is more quiet than the MA. Some videos that do a db test shows the MA is not any louder but there is definitely something either the pitch of the blades or something that IMO, makes the sound of the MA more annoying and I can hear it further away than even my...

I open the props just because I'm already down there powering it on. If it were truly an issue that could cause problems by not opening them up prior to starting it up, DJI would have made the props a non-folding piece and made you install them before flight and remove them after flight.

Its a very common term used both on many drone message boards as well as locally (to me). Not only do I fly AP drones and have for ages, but I also fly/race FPV Drones. More so when flying FPV drones do we use the abbreviation "AP" when explaining to the general public the differences between...

Thanks for pointing that out. Guess I’ve been lucky then. My Ipad Mini fits in my Spark Remote, Mavic Air, and Mavic Pro remote...

I own a few DJI drones. IMO, if you want to upgrade skip the Mavic Air and go for the Mavic Pro. Based on your criteria I'd go with the Mavic Pro. The Mavic Air's range is no better than the Spark when it comes to Wifi dense places like the 'burbs. The video gets laggy fast, meaning shorter...
