I just picked up 2 64gb SanDisk ExtremePLUS for $20 each at Walmart. If you look around you can get good deals. I've also got a Ultra Plus that works good and a PNY Elite.

When I had my spark, It would go into atti mode once or twice a month. It only takes a small glitch from the GPS receiver, compass, IMU on your ac or remote. If the program doesn't like something, it will drop to atti mode until it recovers. That's why LOS is very important and knowing how to...

Pause button is your friend in flight. Know where it is and be prepared to use it at the first sign of trouble. It's saved me several times during programed flights.

When I had my spark, I never noticed a difference in range while using otg. The reflectors helped. The otg did help with the live video feed, but not enough to make we want to always use it. I actually miss the wireless connection between the controller and my tablet on the MP.

Had a spark for a year, bought an MP1 and love the additional flight time and features. However I regret selling my spark and will probably end up buying a new spark in the future. Depending on what you will be using it for, you can get good MP1's online with several accessories for cheap. I...

I've taken several videos from a boat. You can get some really cool videos. It's a lot easier if you're comfortable with hand launching. As far as home point, I just left it alone and canceled RTH if I got to far away. I always figured if I kept LOS and monitored my battery, I didn't need it.

For me personally, it's the additional equipment that I now use with my MP. With the spark it was the drone, remote and phone. I never really used the otg cable, didn't see a difference with it. So basically 3 components and you're flying. I could easily have it from the case to the air in under...

When I got my spark, B&H video was the lowest price. Best buy price matches B&H, so I got it at a good price and was able to walk out of a store with it the same day.

I know it's just a cheap gel case, but there is still room to spare. I'd be surprised if the Otter case didn't fit.

I use a mavmount, ipad 5th gen and a case.

I can only truly speak from my personal experience. Maybe it's just my setup or the way the wind gusts off my property. I personally felt like I had more control in 20mph plus winds with my spark. I didn't really have the lifting issue as bad as the video showed. My issue with the MP and wind is...

Have a look at this, it explains what I have noticed.

So when I had the spark, I used an S7 edge, so it was in the holder of the controller. I rarely use a cable because it was during that time when DJI did and didn't want to support it. Honestly I got very good results without cable. So it was the spark, controller, phone and I was flying. Now I'm...

I know, the rumors of a spark 2 almost started a month after the spark came out and we are no closer today than then. I almost belive the air could have been the spark 2, but the price point is too high for an entry level pilot. Time will tell. As far as being back, I never fully left, just...

I had my spark for about a year before I decided to upgrade to the Mavic Pro. When I did, I decided to keep my Spark since I planned on continuing to fly it. After a couple months of flying my new drone, I never once took the Spark off the shelf, so I decided it was time to sell. Now after the...
