Hi Everybody.
Just joined this forum and seeking some basic advice to help me make a purchase decision on the Spark. I've had a P2V+ for 3 years now. I live in Sri Lanka and absolutely no warranty etc works out of here. I've been doing my own repairs using the great advice from the (associated?) dji phantom forum, various FB groups and youtube etc.
I'm not a selfie kinda guy - but love the idea of getting the bird in the air fast for some quick photos. Range - say 500M line of sight and altitude of 100M - and flight time of 8-10mins is absolutely fine for me - reasonable resolution sees to be there - absolutely no need of 4K etc.
Questions
I'll likely buy in the UK next week to bring back with me to Sri Lanka. Are any restrictions CE etc based on place of purchase or place of flight?
Have people <<not doing longer range & higher altitude flying>> had any issues with the Spark over time?
I'm thinking of the Spark Combo plus another additional battery making three in all - anything else that's recommended?
I've seen some reports of range limitations etc after firmware upgrades - but they seem confusing. Is this an issue - I'm normally at least 50kms from any security area...?
Any recommended forum / FB type resources?
Any advice, caveats etc much appreciated.
Best regards and TIA
