HI All,
So I received my Spark on 6th December. Its my first DJI drone. I got the fly more combo have purchased another battery so I have 3 in total. I also purchased an OTG cable & a Parabolic Antenna Range Booster for the RC.
Here’s some stats:
- Completed 40 flights
- 3.5hours Total Flight time
- iPhone X with latest Beta iOS & Latest DJI GO available
- 2 x Minor Crash's (My Fault!)
- 1 x Major Crash (My Fault, No Damage)
- Flown with & without OTG Cable
I got this drone not expecting much as I hadn’t had anything to compare it too, I had been reading reviews for a long time before I took the plunge. All I can say is I absolutely LOVE it! The crash's I have had have all been my fault & I’ve learnt from them.
- Don’t fly in even slight / moderate mist/fog (I should have RTFM'd!)
- Don’t fly too low, too fast
- Don’t Panic
I have an OTG cable and have used it twice, it offers nothing more for me at the moment that I can tell and I do have the constant “Weak image transmission” error.
I haven’t really been going for footage yet, I’m just using this time to get used to flying it and being able to predict what she will do. I have only had 2 "Disconnects" and it reconnected immediately but they were scary moments as one of them was over water. I will be going to the Lake District in early Feb and will be taking lots of photos from the air.
I always thought this product was a "Top of the Range Selfie Drone", I still agree with this but she does do other footage really well. I can defo see a Phantom purchase in the future! Here is my best shot to date – Pano stitched with Lightroom
