Buy more
batteries to enhance the experience! ?
I'm up to nine.?
The Spark is small and there's not a lot of room to mount a bunch of stuff, let alone carry something during flight.
The
float kit is neat, but I wouldn't trust it. One wrong gust of wind, ripple of water, or a jump from a nearby fish would probably flip the Spark. But the plus side is, it's still floating for easy retrieval, just upside down.?
One item that I have added to enhance the Spark is a good set of filters for smooth video and pictures.
I have the
PolarPro Cinema series. PolarPro worked with DJI to optimize performance with the gimbal.
There are other filters available that will work and are cheaper, but do some research before purchasing an inferior filter that may give gimbal overload messages when flying or restrict the full movement of the tilt.
Another item are
strobe lights. They are small, lightweight, and are suitable for night flights (check local regulations).
I have a
Loc8tor tracker on the Spark but never had to use it.
TilePro tracker have good reviews as well and It has the benefit of the "community" to help you find something by sharing some information via the app on peoples phones.
The
Marco Polo tracker will fit on the side.
A gimbal protector when the Spark is being stored should be a stock item, but it's not and highly recommend getting one to protect the camera assembly.
This is the one I have. It protects the bottom sensors too.
I had a clear one just for the camera but the tabs broke and was useless after that.
The clear one may damage the Spark as it clips to a bracket above the camera that is designed to limit the travel of the gimbal assembly. I have seen that piece broke before in another post.
One last thing to put on the Spark would be putting your information (lost and found, registration numbers,etc.) on the Spark using waterproof stickers or a Sharpie marker.
It's also a good idea to put that information on the SD card in the Spark as a text file should the stickers wear out and somebody finds the card in the Spark. Just don't format the card while it's in the Spark via the Go4 app because it will be deleted.
The humble little Spark can't carry stuff like it's bigger brothers but it doesn't need to. It's fun the way it is.
