    Mavic Mini vs. Spark

    Someone has drawn up a comparison table: https://unlimitedrone.com/2019/10/30/dji-mavic-mini-vs-dji-spark-comparison/ Anything missing from this article?

    Mavic Mini vs. Spark

    Different to others, I want a smaller, lighter drone, something easier to carry than the bag came with Spark combo. I didn't really use all the features and I'm happy with a side step as long as the core features are intact. (hobby aerial snaps and some quick videos during holiday) Thank you...

    Mavic Mini vs. Spark

    What features does the Mavic Mini lack compared to Spark? I have not used active track more than a handful of times. So won’t be missing this. The more compact carrying size is what I’d want out of my drone. MMini delivers this. I’m very interested in swapping for the MMini. Cost will be...

    Need an Expert's Opinion - ATTI flying

    Flying in-doors is within range of downwards sensor. It'll fly in OPTI mode ==> really really really stable.

    Need an Expert's Opinion - ATTI flying

    I enabled NAZA-M mode on my Phantom 2 and practiced ATTI mode through right shoulder switch, it was not hard to control. As with all things, practice practice practice! My Spark entered ATTI mode when flying out of a balcony before gaining GPS lock on a windy day. It drifted wildly in between...

    Better case than stock?

    I just don't get why people would want to carry anything unnecessary such as the power brick when going out to fly. Whole point of Spark is to travel lightweight. Power brick lives at home or in luggage/bag together with toothbrush and change of cloth.

    Better case than stock?

    When go somewhere for a day trip, I'd put everything into a bagpack or weekend holdall. It's not too hard to remember putting the power brick in as well. Speaking of mobile phone, no one would buy a phone case that allows you to attach the power brick to the back of it. Everyone pack their...

    Better case than stock?

    What's with this obsession to carry power brick and battery charger dock within the case? When I travel, Spark and power brick always go inside the luggage. Only the minimum come with me: 3 batteries plus laptop and a light weight camera, interchangeable lens camera gears also go into luggage...

    Can I use a 2nd, 3rd battery right away?

    I have used all my 3 batteries back to back without problems. As mentioned, the Spark gets hotter sitting on a desk transferring photos/FW updates compared to flying. I've even had my Spark overheat and flash red once, due to I had prop clips clipped into the side vents. Never had overheating...

    Spark questions or recommendations

    Phantom is too big and cumbersome. Only reason to go for bigger sized drone is for their camera. Zero flight issues, never fallen out of the sky.

    Europe holiday destiation for great drone footage and food

    Where to go for some fantastic drone footages and has great local food? My wife and I are planning a holiday in November, in second trimester of her pregnancy to get away from daily life and be alone together (possibly for the last time) Due to pregnancy, we would prefer to be within 2 hour...

    Better case than stock?

    I've also looked at many cases and came to similar conclusion: the stock Spark fly-more bag is as compact as you are ever going to get. This one is smallest you'll ever get for the drone itself...

    Solar powered Spark?

    That calculation was assuming 2w solar generation and zero additional weight from solar modification. Neither of which will be possible in the foreseeable future. Real world flight time increase will be in the region of rounding error. Totally unnoticeable when flying. Completely not cost...

    Solar powered Spark?

    My Spark is solar powered :) I have 3kW-peak solar panels on my roof, during the day even when cloudy it usually produces more than 100W in excess of my usual house usage. If I charge Spark batteries during the day, my Spark will be solar powered :D A solar panel the size of a Spark will not...
