Love it! Where were you?

My Spark crashed on a Litchi mission to a friends house. I thought all was lost when 11 days later a nice Electric person, who was working on downed lines, found it and gave me a call! I was literally on the DJI site looking at Father's Day sales when the phone rang. No damage to the Spark...

I did, so maybe I'll get a call someday. What does everyone think about what is the best Spark replacement drone?

Yes, it flew out of remote range on the mission, so pretty sure it was lost further along the flight path. Thanks for the tip though, will look.

Well, I finally did it, sent me Spark on a no-return Litchi mission. Pretty sure it was my fault. Ah well many good flights... I had the fly-more package, so I'd like to buy a NEW Spark - any suggestions on where? The Amazon price seems pretty high for just the Spark alone. (Renewed $399)...

Using Litchi, what is a good way to stitch together the resulting photos?

No I haven't, you have a link about this mod? To be clear though, the gimbal is not laggy at all, it just stays at -60 for the whole mission. Thanks!

I did lose signal for awhile. I would have thought that gimbal pitch would be uploaded and work autonomously like the rest of the flight commands. From the video, it looks like everything else worked as programmed.

Hi I'm looking for some advice on this mission I've set up: Mission Hub - Litchi At waypoint 1 I want the gimbal to move to -60 and stay there until wapoint 2, then interpolate up to -13 as it moves to waypoint 3. Problem is, the gimbal pitches to -60 at WP 1, but then stays that way for the...

Anybody have this happen or advice? I flew a simple 4 waypoint mission, which I've flown before - 1st point close to home, 2nd far away where I expect to lose connection, and the 3rd & 4th back near home. In the past the drone reconnected when it was flying back, nearing waypoint 3. This time...

Is there some amount of dwell time there at 7 meters while pictures are taken?

I've always heard something like this, but don't understand exactly. when you take off the spark goes up just a couple of feet, should you then drive it up to 25' and let it dwell there, how long? Is there a button to press?

Well, still need to fine tune stuff maybe... This is an orbit at 250' alt with "subject height" at 245' to control the gimbal angle. Manual might be OK, but you can't control the gimbal angle precisely or set it to a particular angle for mission-to-mission repeatability. Outward facing with a...

Thanks everyone! Very helpful. With the "waypoint and rotate" method, not being able to control rotation speed is a show stopper. The "orbit with a small radius" will probably work just fine for my needs. Points out some good areas of Litchi (or DJI Go 4) for enhancement though. I'm really...

What's a "Droney flight"?
