[QUOTE="czguy, post: 119293, member: 17637"] I've been using NLD with my Spark for about 2 years now. It requires a lot of time to figure out the best drone firmware, parameter setting, and apk version to find a combination that fits your needs best. Generally, I don't have any issues with GPS, that would be no go as I've already lost my first Spark with original software within the first month of owning it. What I like best about is the removal of no-fly zones. I've completed a European tour in 2019 and I was able to get footage at locations (London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, etc.) that would normally be impossible (and afraid to post it publicly). BTW, I was not able to import my drone for a small side trip to Marocco as it's prohibited there. Another improvement is the ability to modify flight parameters and significantly increase the agility of my drone. As you have mentioned ascend/descend speed is very impressive. I just wish forward speed in normal flight mode could be better as the Spark is generally slow as molasses. Negatives I've noticed are issues with automatic modes like locking on and following the subject, which I don't use these days anyway as I'm skilled enough already to replicate flight patterns and get similar shots manually. Since upgrading my phone to Android 10, NLD apk gives me some issues (there are currently 2 versions available), and sometimes video downlink disconnects with a lower version of firmware that has no height ceiling restriction. Unlimited height is a feature I don't have much use of anyway, because no matter where I fly, I don't need to ascend much because the video looks like from an airplane, everything looking too small. Also, quite often I enter clouds anyway if I am too high. Having a starting point high on the mountain allows me to descend down to the valley no matter how high the height limit is set anyway (I've got very nice footage descending down from Guaita Tower in San Marino deep down into the valley below and then ascend very fast - great with NLD mod).
