[QUOTE="CaptainDrone, post: 2792, member: 149"] I tried the quickshots out when I first received the Spark on Monday. I did notice that when you select the shot you wish & if you tap the shot a second time you can then select the range. All shots required that I select myself on the screen, this way it knows exactly what is to remain in the picture. I also noticed that it does not matter if you are recording video before you select Quickshots, because the video stops, then only records your quickshot. Obviously designed so that you can email the shots to someone. One other thing... I was using the remote control. Rocket worked as advertized. Spark flew up to the height I set and recorded the video going up. Then stopped the video and came back to me. Dronie. Spark flew out to the distance I set & recorded the video, then stopped the video and returned to me. I watched on my phone display to see if it was increasing in height. It does increase in height, but only 10 or 20 meters. This should be much higher. Circle. It started the video, flew one full rotation, then stopped the video and waited for me to take control. Helix. It doesn't really do a circle but more of a letter "C". It created a short video but it stopped it as soon as I hit "Pause". It was flying much too far away. It rises as fast as it does in Dronie which is much too slow. There needs to be an option to set the radius to keep the circle tight as it rises. I'm guessing a future firmware update will resolve these issues. One final note: The very first battery I flew testing out the features eventually ran low. So low in fact that the Spark went into return to home mode. I'm used to the Mavic & Phantom that the flight time caught me off guard. I let it do it's return to home thing. Let me just say that the Spark takes awhile to fly up to your set return to home height (mine was set to 50 meters) burning away precious battery power. So it flew up to that height on the low battery, then gave me the warning that it did not have enough power to return to home (it was only about 100 meters in distance away from me). So it began to fly in my direction at 50 meters in height and then gave me the warning that it was landing due to critically low battery, so it never made the 100 meter trek back to me, but rather 70 meters. It still came down nicely and landed in the open field I was in. Something to watch for with this tiny drone is the battery power... when it gets low, there may not be enough power to get home.
