Got my Spark combo today. The activation was a little frustrating. Got it figured out. Got the RC hooked up. Went to the local baseball field.
All I can say is AWESOME. This thing was so easy to fly. The footage came out great. The wind gusts were howling around 30mph. Live in New England and there are thunderstorms on the way. The weather is crazy right now.
The footage was so smooth I couldn't believe it. The DJI app is really great. The RTH function is phenomenal! I purposely flew it to an area far away from home base. Let the warning light come on and it flew to the exact spot I took off from. Wah what!!!!
Still waiting on my combo but I bought a Spark from Apple in the meantime. I'm loving it so far too. Not so happy with the gesture mode but I wasn't planning on using that feature much anyways.
Update: Have flown twice since the first time. Excellent flight experience!!! Tried flying at night, that was really hard but I had no issues. So far so good with this Drone.
I'm right there with you! Having a great time despite the crazy weather! I'm in Marlborough, MA. Sun - Lightning - Thunder - Sun again! Took my spark out a few times so far, and I'm having a blast!
