Finally got to fly my Spark - or little Sparky as I call it.
The snow had just come here, sun was shining and no wind, so I went to a lake nearby to fly for the first time.

Some drama and I give my first impressions on this super fun drone! Spoiler: I like it alot!

Amazing video!!!May i ask did you preheat the battery?any low temp warnings?

Thanks alot, appreciate it!
I did not get any warning nor did I preheat the batteries. Didnt walk far either so it didnt get the chance to be to cold I guess.

Very nice video, thank you for sharing!

Very nice place to be and to fly!
Congrats!

Love the scenes over the water into the sun. The trees in the back provide a great silhouette.

Also - is it me or should every drone have a nickname? I got nothing but eyerolls from my GF when I suggested Snoop-Dronie-Drone.. still looking /-:

Thank you Nebuchadnezza!

Great work.
It looks like you found a way to use the Osmo Mobile?

Nice to watch and see how you like it.

Curious if you will take the P4P or Spark more (or both)  and how you will like them after some time.

Very nice video and thanks for sharing

You're a braver man than I am. Haven't yet flown mine over water yet, I seriously have to man up and do that. Great video, love it.

I just used the front camera, a little crooked but.. next video I will use the Osmo + for the first time. And that solves the problem

Thank you, the tempersture was -2 degrees Celsius. 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit

Hmmmm... I didn't think the Spark would perform for longer than 3 minutes below 32 degrees. Thanks.

really nice work!

We might even join forces one day.
Although 'us ourselves and the two eyes' does not sound as good as the previous one

Wow, cool video.

Have you postprocessed the video or just "cut it together" afterwards?

I just bumped the saturation a little on the clip. Nothing more.

Sure. We'll think of something

Good job , great video, it certainly is a great buzz flying the spark.
