    Happy Solstice

    The black one was mine Expedition 2018 I traded it for an Grand Touring this year, the wheels are also very practical and appreciated by the Gas stations...with those down we do not carve the driveways with our skis....

    Happy Solstice

    =============== Can't deny that I agree with you..but if the GODS get to challenge each other and elects to freeze our as4$$ and drop tons of it on us....I'm OK with it ...I do enjoy Snowmobiling a lot...in fact the reason I bought my Spark !

    Constant connectivity issues

    ============= NO offense but as far as I know in the USA and now in Canada since June 1 - 2019..... Drone flying as a 'non commercial ' operator is stricly VLOS.......(Visual Line Of Sight)....you best have eye sight of Superman to think of achieving 2 to 2.5 miles away under that rule and be...

    Got my license today (Woo-Hoo)

    It is indeed forbidden to fly over flooded area but that falls under the new rules as it pertains to privacy and flying over residential areas. Per say, I trust that floods are over and now it is time to mop up and a lot ofpeople very very angry for the lack of support they are getting....

    DJI Care Refresh

    ============================= It is their boiler plate response I guess...robot - I know about the video testimonial I quoted it a bit higher up in this thread.... Thou shall see.....rather cumbersome process that video step but I do understand why they would go that route, makes sense.

    Well , I lost Sparky.....BUT I FOUND IT!

    ============================ Your analysis is spot on. What I thought was normal behavior against the wind was erroneous. I did further tests today , given your comments and comments from others when I was flying forward - all - like you suggested a strange behavior. After testing today, I can...

    Well , I lost Sparky.....BUT I FOUND IT!

    Very kind of you to provide useful information, not sure how to go about it, but I did retrieve Sparky perched 20feet up in a tree thanks to the guidance offered by nilanjan 118 among others. This bird might have a mind of its own at times but thankfully leaves traces as to where it goes...

    Does Spark always use 5.8 Ghz at short distance?

    ============== Becarefull not to confuse Channel and Frequencies. Frequencies 2.4 and 5.8 is one thing ...2.4 goes further and through walls for example but lags in terms of transmitting file ( video for example). 5.8 has a shorter range, cannot penetrate obstacle but provides for less lag in...

    Spark range with and with out OTG CABLE and parabolic antenna

    I have to ask, but as anyone replaced the antennas on the controller with higher DB performer as oppose to this bulky contraption? Example: Hurricane WIFI Refitting Antenna Amplifier Range Extender Signal Booster Board Kit for DJI SPARK MAVIC PRO (2X2.4G 7DB, 2X2.4G 8DB): Amazon.ca: Gateway

    Going Fishing

    ================== Something I should have implemented a couple days ago which would have avoided loosing Sparky in the forest....but thanks to great help from Forum members, nilanjan118 and msinger among others....I found Sparky and it was so happy that I found it and retrieved from the big...
