    Vivitar Dual Screen on a Spark

    I'd say that was a nice test to show that it's definitely not a good idea. The white is all washed out and absolutely no image stabilization... Looks much better from the Spark camera... Could try a GoPro 7 or 8 with image stabilization...that would probably be a much better video.

    Mavic Mini

    I'm also very disappointed that they removed the Panorama feature. That's one of my favorites. I use it quite often. If I do end up getting this drone, I would still have to take my spark with me for the features it has that the new mini doesn't. So it's still a tough decision for me. And...

    Mavic Mini

    I was pretty excited with this until I looked at specs and it looks like it's still just basic WiFi control. Cue the constant fly aways or disconnects.... bye bye drone.... :(

    Exclusive: First DJI Mavic Mini video surfaces on YouTube

    That looks like just a 3D printed prototype. No electronics or camera or actual motors... so it could still be a long way off.

    Osmo Mobile 3 (just released)

    Well, that was a HUGE let down... <shrug>....

    Spark Replacement the Mavic Mini

    And unfortunately one of the worst features of the Spark appears to be one of the features of this one as well... WiFi instead of Occusync :( So expect plenty of fly aways or disconnects with this one too...

    Cheap sun blocker

    OOOOHHH, I completely missed that... I see it now. :)

    Cheap sun blocker

    ? I don't understand. How are you using it? Are you actually placing it on your screen? And you can see through it? Or are you mounting it somewhere to block the sun with shade? I can't really tell anything from those pictures.

    AIRLINE TRAVEL WITH SPARK

    I flew SouthWest and had 1 battery installed on the spark and 4 more in the bag... no one questioned it. And the TSA doesn't care which airline you are on...They just wanted it out of my back pack (still in the spark carrying case) so they could see everything when they x-rayed it... no problems.

    Another FALL video

    Beautiful scenery and video, but those jerky transitions were painful.

    I am always losing the video signal lately

    This may be it. I recently had an OTG cable go bad on me. It had been working fine for a couple months and then while flying one day, I changed batteries...and it wouldn't connect. I tried a backup cable I had and it worked fine. The next time I flew I tried the old cable again and it worked...

    Where do you set your low battery warning?

    My reminder is set to 20%. I use IOS. It used to give me a verbal warning, but lately it just shows the warning with no audio. I wish it would give me audio... 20% seems to be good...because I really watch it and when I'm below 40% I'm usually already thinking about bringing it back... very...
