Hello all! How's the weather in your parts? After a long time of no love for my Spark, I've been flying it a lot the past few weeks. There are many things this drone can still do better than my Mini 2. It flies so much stronger! This hyperlapse was done (at first) in 18-20 mph winds. The final 3 seconds (I wish it was longer) was during the full brunt of the wind and cold. It went from 79 degrees here in Northlake, Texas to 39 in 15 minute span. The Spark was being blown around pretty good, but it came back to me no problems at all! The Go 4 app was constantly telling me to land asap due to high winds.

To anyone that might be interested in knowing how to hyperlapse on Spark - let me know, and I will explain how I do it.

To think I was close to selling my Spark is a little sad, but I won't let this little beast go! I know there are others here whom are the same way - and I love and respect all of you for that! ;-)

I hope everyone has a GREAT 2022!

Great skill! I enjoyed this video, and I love my Spark. Were you using an iPhone with your RC? How did you do hyperlapse?

WOW! Thats a very cool vid! I've never tried Hyperlapse with the Spark. How did you go about doing it?

Just given my Spark to my son in law to see if he can get into our hobby. Keep it in the family!
Great work and yes the Spark is a fab drone. Basic yes but is stable and has a load of features. I have had my MA2 for 2+ years and am still loving it. Guess I’ll get round to getting an upgrade just as DJI bring out yet another humdinger. Happy New Year.

Allways used to have two sparks and two MP1. As I’m getting deeper in photography and video I bought a mini2 ( RAW) and A1 category sub 250g. As I live between Antwerp and Brussels airports, flying with a spark is too restricted. A 8000 € penalty for those who made a flight over tomorrowland site 8 km from home…’.’So I stopped flying it and bought an air2S ( 1RAW and d-log) which I converted to C1.
Compared to a fullframe, image quality is a bit ZiZi. But combination RAW/dlog and editing/colorgrading works excellent. Anyway as noone is interested in buying a spark I decided to give it away on a friend who flies model planes.
What about the other one, I don.t know yet.
About my MP1. They are FCC hacked, no remote ID , continues their mission even if signal is lost. Ideal for difficult long distance missions in A3 .
