[QUOTE="Trey, post: 101603, member: 7453"] Maybe it's just me, but I have had my spark since 2018 and I am really fed up with delays in every time I want to use it. I am currently at the beach where we come often and instead of firing this thing up and flying for some photos, it's always some update, battery draining issue. I dont fly every day, but this is extremely annoying when all I want to do is get pictures of wife and I sitting on the beach. Maybe fly a little around, but constant disconnects, put of range issue, and I am only within 200 feet of me and not even 50 feet high. 4 batteries and case and all this invested and just not getting my monies worth when the few times I really want it, I have to wait or not able to fly but for couple of minutes because batteries dont even hold charge for several weeks. These need to be lithium or some major improvements. I have not even had a chance to explore further with hand commands. But what I want it for is not even working for simple things. Probably going to sell this and venture another route or hobby. Hobbies should not be consumed with update and geofence delays and out of range delays in wide open areas. Incredible... [/QUOTE]
