Hi Everyone,

I put together a video of my wife trying my DJI Spark for the first time. I helped guide her in getting it off the ground but then I pretty much let her roll with it while I filmed around her. How did she do? Is it really easy to fly? Watch to find out. :-)

An effective camouflage is important when trying to find a crashed drone.

I had my wife fly my Spark while I flew my model airplane around it.  She took it upon herself to land it in the grass when the battery warning popped up as she thought it was critical.  The cool part was after showing her how to start the video, she stopped it to save film while moving it to the hover position,...then never turned the record back on.  Lots of great sport plane flying centered in the drone's camera but never captured.

She was sad but I told her it happened all the time with new Spark pilots and the video wasn't something important.  It was practice.

Awesome, huge Molli fan.  The coat thing is totally something I would have done for my dog.  Huge bag... tiny drone.  Lol.

Location for video was great. I never turn the Spark on first. It has the worst battery time of all the devices involved.

Haha. Boy, you guys took it up a notch.

Jen just turned on video right away and left it on the whole time. You don't want to miss any of the action. :-)

Molly is a great dog! We are lucky to have her in our lives. The bag was mostly empty when she pulled the drone out because the camera gear was all set up. Two GoPros, Canon 80D + lens, Rode videomic, two gimbals, Canon G7X, one big tripod, two gorillapods and lots of batteries. It was full and heavy. :-)

Thanks. She really did do great, I wasn't really paying attention to her at all, too busy running around shooting video. :-)
