[QUOTE="peraltron, post: 16942, member: 1468"] So I just wanted to give my thoughts on how the Spark has been for the past 3 months I've had it. So far it's been amazing. Reading all the issues that people have been having, I've always had that fear that it someday come and bye-bye spark, but the times I've used it for filming and just taking videos, I've never experienced loss of connection, ATTI-mode or fall from the sky. I feel like it's more operator error rather than the drone itself. I do all the pre-flight checks to make sure I'm in the clear and that I'm ALWAYS LINE OF SIGHT with the spark. Mind you, I only use my phone to control it so it can't go THAT far. I do notice that when you boot it up, takes quite some time to find GPS and create a home point. The longest I've waited was roughly 5 minutes. Is this normal? Please let me know as I feel that it was a bit quicker before... Anyways, other than that, I've flown this thing over a forest, over rivers and in a small crowd, and it's been good! Even when I don't have a lot of satellites locking on to the spark, it's still pretty stable and I'm able to control it easily. I do not, however, like how long it takes for the spark to turn with my phone. I know, I should get the controller to get longer distances and go sport mode, but that defeats the purpose of being portable and having less clutter to bring (just my opinion). I still wish they could add picture profiles. It would be much better and easier to edit the videos. Also, a little 60fps wouldn't hurt as well, but that's wishful thinking! Other than that, it's been great! I know other pilots have had their spark for much longer, but I just thought I would share mine. Here are a few videos I've made with the Spark! I live in Toronto, Canada just in case you guys are wondering! [MEDIA=youtube]FJplYnK2Cn0[/MEDIA] and [MEDIA=youtube]TVnCgkIIepA[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
