[QUOTE="Richard Ruckert, post: 44213, member: 2396"] No. Attitude mode is not something to be scared of. Attitude mode is an option to select on the DJI Phantom series of drones. When I bought the Spark, I was disappointed that the option was no longer available. So, I learned how to convert the Spark Sport mode switch to enter attitude mode. I use attitude mode often, and am considering flying only in attitude mode. Why? Attitude mode is much more fun, and the video is much smoother; especially when turning the Spark. I got the Spark up to 45mph in attitude mode. At 45 mph the video is not good. What is good is the smooth flight. Attitude mode has unique attributes. One of the main attributes is the slow braking. If I fly straight forward in attitude mode, then let go of the sticks, the Spark just keeps going. Eventually it will come to a stop, but no where near as quickly as when in the puppeteer GPS mode. Also, when in attitude mode, the Spark does not have that bizarre FPV banking that the GPS Sport mode has. I thoroughly enjoy attitude mode. Typically, but not always, I fly the Spark up to 125 to 150 feet in the air before I switch to attitude mode. At that height, Spark is not likely to run into anything. When in attitude mode, the flight elevation is constant unless you raise/lower it. So, forward/backward, right/left at the same height always. When I am in attitude, I can instantly access GPS mode by simply switching the Sport mode switch back to GPS. This slams on the brakes, and any risk of collision is mitigated. Though at 125 to 150 feet there is little risk of running into anything If anyone is interested in learning how to alter Sport mode to become attitude mode, PM me, and I'll walk you through it.
