Hello!,

I,m just waiting the Spark Combo, but I have a question: In SPORT mode is able to record video??

Thank you!

Yes, in Sport Mode you are able to record video.

Thank you!

You lose object avoidance though so watch out for trees

You still get great quality video in the Sport Mode.

You can shoot the video, but gimbal will lock, and the video follows the angles of the aircraft.

I agree with Bobesh the Gimble locks out easily a makes your footage jerky so keep that in mind. It works great for high speed straight line flight with subtle turn ins though!

I believe the gimbal automatically goes to FPV mode in Sport.

What he said

Thank you guys!!!

I have a question to add, if I'm going top speed (45 mph) how much distance do I need to slow down?

Yeah but the horizontal rotations are bad.  Sport is good for getting into a position but if you are flying too fast low and lose feed it might crash into what it was coming up to.

No it does not. The gimbal works perfectly well in sports mode.

You believe wrong. The gimbal operates as normal. Do you own a Spark?

At about 30 meters.

In earlier version it was locked

That is what mine does.  Perhaps a later update changed this as i have not updated in a long time.  (If it aint broke don't fix it.)

It is broke if it can not do what it should. Up dates improve things and it has improved the spark.

I use my Spark for Real Estate Photography for the exterior of homes.  I am usually in tripod mode.  My bird works flawlessly.  I will update whenever I need to.  Thank you.
