I won’t state the obvious as to why we EU users need PAL 25fps but PLEASE, PLEASE...how hard can it be to implement such a basic feature?!
Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE implement EXP gain for the YAW as it is nearly impossible to make smooth circles and pannings or implement a PoI automated flight(no the quickshot circle auto tracking blah blah messes things more times than it does right).

It is not hard to implement.
DJI does not seem to want it....
They need room between the Air and Spark I guess..

I assume, as soon the Spark is not for sale anylonger, probably a couple of month after that, there is a chance that DJI will release some features, they dont wanna release now.
If that would be 25fps, or OTG, waypoints, asteroid, bumerang, we'll see later.
Maybe even it just stops like : bye bye, no further features for Spark

PAL for EU is such a basic feature...it is so basic and obvious that it makes no sense selling this drone in EU and not supporting EU standards.

Hi, your idea will be forwarded. But we don't have plan on adding PAL 25 ftps now. Maybe we will add this feature in the future. Thanks for your attention.

100% agree, but...
That won't happen.
(I hope I'm wrong)
Look at the numerous posts about this demand on this forum.

DJI has other plans.

My phone primary function is to call, my spark primary function is to record from up above.

I agree with the OP. This should have been avaiable at launch. It can be a nightmare when capturing footage where there is even a single artificial light. All that flickering is distracting in footage and don't get me started on capturing video in the evenings! The Spark has been out long enough now that if this was going to happen it probably would have already.

Nope, BUT you can buy 3rd party apps (at least on iPhone) that do give that option

And your phone allows for 3rd party apps that (at least with iOS) have this option. (25fps)

100% agree.
It is not on the development agenda.
And probably will never be.

Too bad. Move up to the Air if you need that.

Still a shame though.

SO, you don't plan on adding it, but maybe it will be done in the future!!  Surely it won't be done in the future if you don't plan on adding it!?  

FWIW you should add it and it should have been standard from the off.  It is not only the EU that uses the PAL system, the majority of the world does.

Unfortunately here in Italy a Spark is the only way to legally fly above cities withouth extreme and impractical(impossible) security measures so the Spark must be!

From what I can tell, yaw exp is already implemented in firmware, it's just DJI GO that does not allow changing it....
But I think a bit older version of DJI Assistant should do the trick.

I know.
You have this 250gr rule right?
(or was it 300gr)
So you are stuck in 30fps and have to slow down the footage by 1/6th....

Until the EU legislation will be effectuated in Italy too.

And very many people, DJI included, see the Spark as a photo drone, selfies and such, plus a FHD video option.
I assume you have read the specs before buying, read in the forums that it is mentioned since week one and that DJI is always telling the same: A hidden but friendly "probably not". Like for androids OTG back on.

Sure but asking is legit and cost free, afterall the Spark is advertized as a selfie drone but sold at a more than premium price so again, asking is legit.
And no I'm not delusional, I know myself that 99% my rant will fall to deaf hears as it did more than once when I complained about pro stuff in dire need for refinements and bugfixes that will never see the light.
Again asking is legit and you won't steal that from me, have a nice day.

Ah, yes.
I even saw a modified Spark some time ago with prop guards and some other modifications to meat the laws.
