Hi all,

I've recently been looking at the different accessories available for the Spark and wanted to know which accessories people recommend.

I bought the Fly More combo so have the RC etc. and have been looking at ND/PL filters but wanted real opinions on whether it's worth it?

I read this post which is great but are there any others? https://www.heliguy.com/blog/201 ... -spark-accessories/

Thanks,

Mike.

Gimbal protector (when stored or traveling), landing "legs", RC protection (for the sticks), wifi booster (doubtful efficiency) and gimbal sunshade protector

For the Spark I have the flymore combo with a 3rd battery, vivid collection ND/polarised filters by Polar Pro, Sandisk Extreme Pro 32gb A1 micro SD card with adaptor, short right angled lightning cable with OTG, DJI monitor sunhood, FPV UK membership with £5M of public liability (for all of my drones) and for storage/transport I have the prop blade stabiliser, RC stick protection bracket and gimbal lock for the drone camera + micro fibre cleaning cloths. Considering landing gear extensions but I doubt I'll buy given palm launch and land is good enough anyway.

Thanks for the response.

What do you think about the ND filters? Are they worth it or can you just add the effects in post?

Thanks for the response.

is the landing gear useful? I hand launch a lot but thinking that or a landing pad might be good.

I find it very useful for taking off in places where the ground is irregular, with stones or whatever.

Now I'm getting confident with hand landing too, but I don't like hand taking off.

To be honest - more batteries is probably the only thing I actually need.

Beyond the controller of course, which I got with the combo.

I'd like some filters, but I do find you can get decent results in Photoshop anyway...

The best one i use at the moment is the landing pad as it makes it clear on the ground where to land

I have the landing gear (usually palm land, don't really use it), a nice case, extra props, rc controller, 4 batteries, polarpro filters, prop guards (haven't even used), the Mavic range extenders for my rc, the 3 charging base, and a gimbal cover for when I am not using my drone.

Any form of overexposure is difficult to repair in post as is adding motion blur to a very sharp image caused by a ridiculously fast shutter speed. That said, the images are generally very good without an ND but you will notice a clear difference using these filters, especially over reflective surfaces and on very bright days. I'd say more of a luxurious accessory than essential for the Spark - unless you want the best possible image and the greatest versatility to your video settings then they are a must have in the bag.

I will get my filters as soon as I get Spark

Here's a good video that shows a ton of them:

Sun shade and a case that is the size of my palm.

Gimbal protector and OTG cable.

I bought the fly more combo, so everything there is in there. Plus I have the landing pad - a must have in my view when you have to land in sandy places. On the way are a gimbal protector, landing gear (which I doubt would be necessary now that i have the pad), a shoulder bag to fit both Spark and accessories, and a 3rd battery.

Custom made GPC case. Holds Spark, 4 batteries, Spare props and remote with Mavmount installed. No gimbal protector needed in GPC case.

I have fly more package plus one more battery, landing gear, sunshade, otg cables, tablet holder, 2 12v car to USB spark battery charger, a USB to spark battery charger

Five batteries, an external battery charger, a landing pad (def do not regret buying that, surprised me how useful it is), and a hard case.

A few things I've made for the Spark with our 3D printer.  Here's the STL files if anyone wants them.

It looks very good.
I want to know where you bought it. Can you tell me?

Contact GPC direct at info@gpcinc.com
They are great to work with and reasonably priced considering the quality they deliver.

awesomesauce!!

1st thing ordered - OTG cable
2nd - remote bag
actually didn't liked the separate bags for spark combo and remote, so ordered [url=https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ ... or/32832994862.html]compact combo bag[/url],  will be arriving realy soon
then ordered 3rd battery on local store
remote joystick protector
ND8 arrived at postal office, hadn't collected jet

+ Controller Signal Booster in transit

A good case is a must have! No point spending all that money on a drone for it to break in your bag! If you're interested you can check out this list of Spark backpacks and cases. An iPad Mini (3 or 4) is always good, if you do decide on a tablet you'll need a tablet mount on a sun hood. I like to have a landing pad as well as the Sparks body lays so low to the ground, this will help prevent stuff like sand and dust get into the drone. Thats just a couple of ideas there's so many things you can get for the Spark it's crazy, especially considering how new the drone is. If anyone is interesed, there's this list of some of the must have Spark accessories.

Thanks for all of the comments. My Spark shopping list has massively increased!

I got the combo + 2 more batteries + RC stick protectors + hand/finger guards for palm launch/landing + landing pad, and I'm considering to get me a tablet holder from PGYTECH and sun hod, and maybe the gimbal and 3d sensor protector.

Got these ebay filters and they work well with a bit of modification.

Here's my review of them.

- Gamble protector
- Prop fixed holder
- Len and sensor protection glass
- Remote sticks protective clip

Have the sunshade, have not used it yet.

Planning to buy legs soon.

Does using a OTG Cable void the warranty of the Spark with DJI? I read this somewhere....
