    Where to fly in chicago

    Right! Check for no-fly zones as well as gun-free zones. Oh, wait...

    Horrible live video

    I had the disconnect problem a couple times with the update. I was in very close so the control was still there, but the app was disconnecting and re-connecting. I'm reverting to last update until they address.

    Morning Fog - May 5, 2018

    Beautiful! Watch that fog though. A lot of info in various forums on issues with sensors and fog causing problems.

    Shooting Video in Auto? How to use exposure lock, get rid of "roll"

    My exposure lock on the Spark doesn't stay set. I can see the padlock symbol appear for a split second, but it doesn't lock the settings on the second tap. I'll try it with the MA.

    Identifying your Spark after loss

    Brilliant! Even if someone had no knowledge of drones, the curious nature of humans would lead to pulling open hatches, doors, etc to see what's inside. And by now, everyone knows what an SD card is.

    Ocho Rios Jamaica

    How was Jamaica about drone flying? Going to Negril next April and taking Spark and Mavic Air. I looked up their drone laws, and all seems reasonable, but you know how attitudes change!

    Check out my new solution for charging the Spark in the field

    No matter how you look at it's specs, still sounds like a good option for $80. Thanks for posting.

    Spark does flips now.

    I started in FPV race drones, and in those forums when referring to camera platform drones, the term AP ( aerial photography) is commonly used to differentiate the two.

    Spark does flips now.

    Can't imagine why anyone would want an AP drone to do stunts.

    The pause button is your friend!

    Great call-out! Panic has cost me a few home-built drones.

    Caution Solar Storm forecast

    Good call-out. Check SATs locked and kp index if you're gonna fly.
