Hi everyone

This is my first post, just wanted to share my experience: this is my 2nd flight and the 1st one trying sport mode.. I need to improve a lot but.. had so much fun!!
I was scared of going higher because it was a very windy day (see the trees) and they moved too fast and I wasn't really able to follow them yet (or test follow mode), but I'm happy with the result, can't wait to find a new excuse to fly again soon!




Any tip about sport mode? The gimbal mode can't be set to "follow" instead of FPV, right?
Do you think follow mode would have worked better in this situation?

Thanks

great content, you need to output at 30fps not 24fps to prevent the stuttering in the video though ;)
You could re-time using frame blending or optical flow for better quality to drop it down to 24 but this is more of an action clip so I would keep it at 30fps

Thanks! I used Final Cut Pro X to edit..  
Malakai_UK thank you, I noticed the stuttering in the video and I was wondering why... will definitely do it in 30fps next time!

No worries, you can rate conform the spark footage to match your output footage in final cut. (go from 29.97fps to whatever your output is, e.g. 24fps)
On your original clip click the video and in the inspector pane on the right, click the film icon at the top left. Scroll to the bottom and under Rate Conform choose Frame Sampling: Optical Flow
It will take a while to analyse your clip but once its done when you export you wont have the stuttering in your video.

Great video!  

I found out on my videos about the 24 fps and the 30 fps.  All of my other cameras are set at 24.  I guess when I use them in conjunction with my Spark I will change them back to 30 and edit in 30 as well.
