    The obsession with increasing distance...

    It's always great when a post is going along quite nicely with opinions and discussion and someone feels it necessary to stir it up by using a condescending slant to their post. I suggest you read my posts again I use the term "frustrating" which is very different from "upset". No other posts...

    The obsession with increasing distance...

    Yes I get that, maybe DJI also have a sales thing going on as well. After all why would you buy a Mavic if the spark did almost the same thing and you had no need for 4k. I have other quads which go further but i always end up keeping to 500m anyway, I love my spark and it isn't getting sold. I...

    The obsession with increasing distance...

    I think it's to do With having a restriction placed apon the spark when it has the ability to do so much more. People like to upgrade or to tinker to improve performance it's human nature. What I would say is frustrating with the spark isn't the distance for me im happy with how far I can get it...

    Anyone want to sell there fly more bag?

    The bag is really good however I'd buy one of the small ruck sack bags from eBay. I use my bag a lot when close to home but when travelling I have to put the spark in his box with batteries so I can put the charger in the bag with prop guards, cables, sunhood, parabolic range extenders etc. The...

    Flying in a town vs flying in the countryside.

    This has been causing me some confusion for a while. I appreciate any ideas or discussion on this topic so thanks to Texas Gonzo and Zoran for your posts. What I will say is on looking at the video as the bar rises going from -100 towards - 60 on the scale as it hits -90 it changes red this...

    Flying in a town vs flying in the countryside.

    Yes its confusing. I asked this question on the forum a few weeks ago and got the opposite answer. ie the smallest bar is best. Does the bar not represent channel traffic or interference the bigger the bar the more interference or traffic?

    Flying in a town vs flying in the countryside.

    I normally fly in the countryside on 2.4ghz WIFI, however today I flew in a huge park (hardly anyone about) in a town centre the difference in the spark was incredible....not in a good way. Firstly my Spark experience to date in the countryside has been a pleasure. Smooth flight, control and...

    Polar pro filters comparison

    Ive just bought a new set of polar pro filters from eBay. Can anyone tell me if these are the original filters which have issues or the updated ones? If they are the originals do you have a picture of the updated ones for comparison. Thanks

    The role of competent observer is in ANO 2016 but never made the Drone Code.

    Distance with spark

    Just to clarify I don't and never have flown my spark or other quads above 100m as I understand the danger it poses to Aircraft. As to my background I've been flying RC aircraft for over 20 years and quads for the last 4 years and I'm a member of the BMFA. The reason I mention this is so you...

    Distance with spark

    The big thing with distance on WI-FI is to choose a 2.4ghz channel with the smallest bar just before flying as it will be specific to the place and time and may not be the same as the last time you flew at the location. I recently flew as above and was fairly pleased with the distance in my...

    Drones For Less, New York

    I can only state what has happened in my friends case. I think it may have some weight that technically the purchase was made from the UK on my friends computer. So the region which he made the purchase was UK. As I said there were no issues I've never used the company myself.
