I couldn't believe the difference. I had been pushing how far out I dare send it - with sport mode on I cruised past my previous long-distance marker in a what felt like a fraction of the time - before I even had chance to get nervous! I had to take care bringing it home again though as the stopping distance is significantly increased. It felt more like flying my old TBS Discovery - except the Spark (almost) fits in my pocket. Amazing.
ya the spark is amazing! it goes really fast.. also pro tip, if you are returning home on a low battery and you are a bit further out then you realize and your fighting winds coming back, use sport mode and push it hard.. i know it sounds counter intuitive but it's a trick some people have used on phantoms and mavic after they ignored RTH warning on low battery.. they turn it around and push it hard back. i dont know how well it works but im sure it works well considering just hovering in place chews through battery fairly fast.
goes surprisingly far for wifi based product, im hoping DJI opens it up a bit more too, gives us 10 Mhz 2.4Ghz bands and 10/20 Mhz 5ghz bands... and separates the control signal from the video signals so they can reduce the bandwidth on per channel basis and extend the range further for each. |
