The fall foliage season was short but sweet this year in Central/Eastern Maine.  I captured what I could of this beautiful time of the year.  This video consists of DJI Spark drone footage taken mostly in the Moosehead Region, Katahdin Region, as well as GoPro footage at Acadia National Park.  I'm still new to using a drone to capture videos and pictures and overall I'm really happy with the DJI Spark.  Panning left/right is a little difficult because the RC controls are so sensitive, and if I adjust the sensitivity, unfortunately that also causes the drone to move slower when I'm going forward, backward, up & down.   A lot of the clips are fast-forwarded about 3x to create more movement.  I also struggle in direct sunlight, but I suppose that's difficult with all cameras.  Maybe I'll upgrade some day to the DJI Mavic IF DJI improves the stability of their app on Android.  I didn't apply any post-processing edits other than speeding up some clips and panning in/out and left/right because I haven't yet worked with adjusting colors in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Thx for this!  Very inspirational for the capabilities of the platform.....really nice video.

I agree with you, to be able to use the Spark to its fullest potential, DJI should allow to set up/down, yaw, right/left, forward/backward sensitivity all individually and save as a setting, there should also be a software option to return all calibrations to a user selected default.  That way you can fly in sport mode quickly with full agility to get where you need to go (we only have so much battery, right?), and then press a button to re-calibrate the sticks to a user defined option so be able to get the smoothest video, and then in yet another button press to bring us back to the user defined default for needed agility to get back home quickly.  Just sayin.....

:-)

Cheers...

Time to replace that GoPro with an Osmo so all of your footage blends together    Looks great, thanks!
