I have friends who spend US$10,000 on cameras for (still) pictures.  I just use my phone.The pictures I want to take are 'snapshots' of family, vacations, etc -- so my phone is fine for me. So for me, the Spark seems great. Small, easy to use, not too expensive, good pictures and video.

Those who who want more can buy more.

Great for him  

Kind of good for you!

Again, I am advising pros so they can decide if they want to spend $700 on a selfie drone!

Sorry you are disappointed with your Spark. I like the little guy and it is a lot of fun to use... No it is not P5P or Inspire  but I can have fun with it.

It has a place in my fleet and you are right... its a toy class drone

As I said flying in SPORT mode is really fun, so it is assigned to the flying brigade.

Does yours still work fantastic???

it does actually, i had it up in 60kph gusts and the camera and gimbals were steady as any other day, thanks for asking.

Look at you "Speedy Gonzales" Living dangerously!   

You should post some pics and videos!

Here's a couple photos, bear with me tho I'm still trying to get the hang of flying AND taking photos as I'm not experienced in either! these photos are not full resolution!

I think these should be full resolution. still trying to figure out how to upload pics!

Nothing there, you can put jpeg up to 2mb , but your photos are probably 1.4mb I'm sure you will get the hang of soon. Nice pictures.

Just messing with you!

Not bad. When you upload your pictures you have up to 1000kb so you can size the picture bigger so we can see more details.

Keep at it and it will get better!

Try resizing them to 1MB

i can see them fine on my desktop but not on my phone? are you saying i need to use this forum more or fly the drone more to be able to upload bigger pictures? i think if you look on a laptop or desk top you will be able to see them! maybe im wrong

hallmark007 Posted at 2017-6-27 08:52

I think you need above 4000 points to get the 2MB

fair enough. they look horrible when there not full res

im still trying to get the hang of taking videos smoothly. i always seem to jerk the controls while trying to film

Yes you need the points in the forum.

They are not full RES. I downloaded them and the sizes are  500 X 289.

In your editing program resize 20% at a time until you get 999KB and then upload. Jpeg make it 100% so you don't loos any info.

When taking pictures, once you get the shot you want, take your fingures off the sticks and click the picture button. This way only the wind would affect your shot and NOT your sticky fingers lol

With videos, you can't shoot in SPORT MODE with the Sparky. Even in regular mode it is NOT stable enough. The best video is when Sparky does his own thing on this own.

Did this work? sorry for all the Trial and error

and this !

Good job Thor1, very nice......

MUCH BETTER!

i just wish there was a way to adjust the controls to make them a little less sensitive so i could take a decent video with it. im not confident in using the quick shots until i know the bugs are worked out.

That is what I was talking about.All those features where old news with the other drones but DJI elected NOT to add them to the app for Sparky???

Gimbal
Yaw
Hover or LAND on RTH
etc.

Let us wait anD see, but for now use the auto shoot that they have.
