    Mavic pro 2?

    its somewhat difficult, even birds have a hard time flying in the rain or when they come in contact with water. Im sure they are working on it and its more of a commercial level task like their agricultural series.

    I flew my spark over a cruise ship...

    lol spark only films in 1080. It must be upscaled to 4k ?? my best guess. Resolution looks ok, but the overcast doesnt help. Also wonder about those 30mph winds ;)

    Prime day offers?

    mavic pro was $650 a few weeks ago on their website under refurbs. They raised the prices shortly after.

    Small municipal airport told me I can't fly at all

    This whole airport business is just hilarious. It's like birds having to inquire if they can fly around highways since you will be driving your car at high speeds. As mentioned before, you don't need permission, just make them aware and be smart with your drone. Chances you will hit a plane are...

    Need some help with a Spark Gimbal Repair

    wow thats a great find, i certainly did not find that when fixing mine, a lot of parts are out now which is a nice perk. If you want to save time then yes printing it will be much easier. I print my stuff on a prusa mk2s and mk3, most printers will be just fine, you can use ABS for a nice...

    Need some help with a Spark Gimbal Repair

    i didnt update the thread but I got it back together with 3M EC2216. Do you have a 3D printer ?? if you take some dimensions of the part I can draft up a part needed, sadly my sparky has been traded so I dont have it anymore. Message me and I can draft up the STL for you.

    What is this and how to fix it?

    only issue with contacting support is they have great service and will save you a lot of trouble shooting but you will pay for it in labour. The parts from DJI support are by far the most affordable. I found their repair services to be great for camera repair/gimbal issues. However, drone...

    What is this and how to fix it?

    I recall a unit with a bad motor board throwing the same error. Not related to I guess it’s part of the system checks. The gps mounting is very unlikely to disconnect but it is relatively easy to check. Remove the 6 screws holding the top cover and that will expose the main board and gps module.

    Battery disconnected mid flight

    BATTERY SAFETY CLIPS :D very cheap insurance lol I flew once without it and it was constantly on my mind. For those with 3D printers its super easy to make one out of ABS or PETG.

    Battery disconnected mid flight

    It’s very common for the battery to unlock or to have weak battery clips. I guess the lucky side to this story is that the battery disconnects and the drone falls in the water with electronics un-armed. If it say flew into the water, more damage would occur and drying it would not bring it back...

    Spark doesn't impress me...

    Im a huge fan of the mavic pro, why not just stick with the mavic pro if you already have one. The mavic pro is smaller folded than the spark (fixed body). I have seen some issues with my spark here and there dropping signal, etc but the mavic is rock solid. Im not on the mavic air band...

    What happened to my drone?

    I believe it’s part of the motor assembly. If the drone works correctly, don’t worry about it.
