Rubber Band for Battery

There was a report(s) of batteries falling off mid flight a long time ago and I jumped on the band wagon to protect my investment.

I occasionally use the rubber O ring trick because the battery strap that I purchased interfered with the prop guards.

I like flying with the guards as it's easier to see and i have a place to attach my strobes.

I do the Plug 'n Tug on each battery change and never had a problem with them coming off.

I have 9 batteries of the old design and no problems with any of them since 2017 and lately I've been flying strapless.

Feels invigorating. ?
 
It's a pretty safe bet that Spark 2.0 will have a top-loading battery (like the Mavic Pro) or slot-loading (like the Tello). DJI is aware of the issue and needs to reassure consumers that it's completely fixed.

I heard the engineer that designed the Spark's current battery mechanism is working the fryer at McDonald's now. And the guy who approved the original tiny locking tabs mysteriously disappeared.
