I have a Red Spark and bought some red props off of E-Bay for about 1/2 DJI price. They looked perfect, but I lost both control and power. When in sport it was like I was in beginner mode. I put the old props back on and everything was back to normal. I haven't used them since. I agree with Stefan.

I have a HTC M9, and my Android phone works perfect, I have had no problems of any kind except with seeing in the bright sun, which I have weather droning or not.

If those are 55 gallon barrels that's incredible. They do look like pills, thanks for sharing the picture. Ron

I use my HTC M9 & WI-FI and have not had any problems. If you have time to do a lot of reading, you need to get off the couch and enjoy your spark. As far as distance, the Spark is rather small and very hard to see over 100 yards. In my opinion if you can't see it, you don't need to risk flying...

I own them and would give them a "0" rating. I have not tried to land them on water, because I don't trust them. (1) The leg's totally cover the LED lights, so you loose your lights. (2) This means that you have to remove your blade protectors and can't use them. (3) The float ball's are made of...

Dan how well does the screen work in the sunlight? Thanks Ron

My converter puts 127.7 @ 75 mph. I have never gotten mine past 26 mph, I don't see how this could be possible.

I think I would get the MA combo if you have the money. Faster, longer fly time, better video @ gimble.

You really need 3 batteries, I think option 1 is by far the best deal. Ron

I purchased third party props off e-bay because I wanted some Red props. They looked perfect, could see no difference. My spark would barley fly. Worst waste of $ I have been guilty of in a long time! I will get my props at Best Buy or some official DJI dealer from now on.

I bought a landing pad just for this situation, they are fairly cheep, made with spring steel & pop open to a 4X larger pad. Very nice for dirt, dust, & snow.

Where did you find this sticker?

I went to Best Buy & got Red, the same day. Thought it would be easier to see, problem = it's only Red on the top. White or green might be hard to find depending on where it lands. Ron

I purchased a skin from decal girl.com and had them put my id on the top body skin. It looks real professional. You can put the id on the battery skin, the prop skins, anywhere you want. Cost $21 for a custom skin, many choices of colors. If you take them off, they leave no residue. Ron

The reason I purchased the props was 2 fold (1) I wanted some spares, and (2) I wanted some red ones to match my spark. I paid $8.69 on E-Bay. When I went to fly the next time out, I thought something was wrong with my drone. In sport mode it was no different than in beginner and had no...
