I have been carrying my Spark in the original carrying bag as shown in the photo. Just a curious thought, are the propellers affected as they are slightly "squashed" by the bag all the time? Will that affect the propellers and hence the balancing of the Spark during its flight?
One of the reason I asked is because the sound of the propellers during flight is different now as compared to when it was new (I only had the Spark for about 3 months and 20 batteries worth of flight). I also noticed the jitteries in some video recordings during flight, and hence I am trying to find out what could be the reason.

Welcome all feedbacks and thoughts. Thank you.

I will probably affect the balance. The camera problem might be a calibration error.

I have the same bag but to be Safe I bought a Large Hard Suitcase. I use the bag just for Accessories.

In my case, after bend a pair of propellers, left the bag and get a suitcase. No problems since use it.

Can't answer your question.

But I push my bird with the cam downwards in.

Seems more stabil, batteries and body of the spark on one side.

Also: I think you have just too much (prop guards, perhaps?) in the front pocket!

I've bought a backpack for the drone and most of the stuff of the fly-more-combo. The original bag is used for extra accessories, but usualy i do not take this with me when flying the drone, just the backpack,

also, a good backpack for the Spark and the accessories is available for a really good price. Just search the internet and i'm sure you'll find what you need.

The simple fix to your problem is to put on new props and remove them before putting your spark in the bag.  The other option is to remove the prop clips which would allow your props to move to a more comfortable position in the bag.  I use this bag for all my batteries and remote and keep my spark in its original case.  this is my preference .. cheers

The other option is to get a case like this.  i've been debating it for a while now.

just noticed that what ever you have in the front pocket is pushing on your spark.  I only put the battery hub and charging wires in the front pocket.  I put my remote and charger base (black box) in the left pocket and only put the spark and two additional batteries on the right.  (no props in the bag for me.  this is only when i want to travel with one case, as i typically leave the drone in its original case with all accessories in the leather bag
