Autopilot definitely works on the spark. I have done several flights. Highly recommend it.

I got t working. Had to shut off dji go in the background.

No. WiFi to rc.

How did you get it to work? I keep getting a rc override error when I try to use orbit.

I wonder if it will be quieter as I was looking to upgrade to the Mavic pro plat. But if this one is quieter, then it is a game changer.

I agree with this. I know vps needs lighting, before I went flying into the bathroom. I was just messing around with the spark to see how it reacts. The spark reacted a lot different then I thought it would.

I guess when I fly at home it is normally in atti mode with vps. Atti mode without vps is a whole another level. It definitely is very sensitive. I am going to put on prop guards and try to recreate the sensitivity tomorrow.

That’s what I am trying to say. It was in atti mode and lost vps. All of a sudden the spark behaved like it was in sports mode. Kind of surprised me.

I know that vps needs some kind of grid or to be able to see the ground and pattern. My concern was that once it lost vps I expected drifting but not at the speed of sports mode.

so I was messing around with the spark indoors, trying to get to know the app features better. And practicing my flying. I decided to fly into a very low light/dark bathroom. I was in atti/Opti mode. As soon as it went into the bathroom it went into sports mode. The drone was moving around...

I agree. I like the footage from the spark without fiddling with all the settings on the mavic. But the sound...... so quiet. Sooo sooo quiet.

What kind of reaction does the mavic get?

Yeah I think it is more then props. They compared the pro to the platinum and the platinum is noticabley more quiet then the pro. Also tested the headset out as well. Having it control the gimbal was awesome.

Good to know I can wait a few weeks while I do some research.

I bought the spark because of its size and it is way less intrusive when I fly it. Also because I didn’t need the 4K video. Everything else on the spark has been fine. Way fun to fly...... Until I walked into the DJI store and saw the mavic pro platinum. Yes it is larger then the spark but it...
