Offline Mode

[ageloreyes27]

Anyone else think the spark should have a (offline mode) where it disables all the lights, gimbal, gps etc so the user can download the files via wifi without having to consume your entire battery on a big file???

When i want to dload videos on to my phone it just takes ages and with everything on, the spark gets extremely hot

What draws a lot is what you actually do need running to download the files (camera and all processing...)

Use a card reader?

I have one on the laptop.... but this is to dload directly to the phone or tablet

Get an OTG adapter for your phone/tablet and connect the Spark, you should be able to get directly the SD as an USB drive.

You could remove the memory card from the Spark and transfer the data to your phone using a memory card reader like one of these:

• Lightning Memory Card Reader
  
• Micro USB Memory Card Reader
  
• Type-C USB Memory Card Reader

I agree especially for things like stitching panos and shallow focus images.

Wish the MicroSD card would eject a bit further, very hard to grab.

I have the opposite experience, I have to be careful when I pop out the card that it doesn't eject and fly across the room.
