Well, the weather doesn't feel like winter anymore. So I was inspecting the fields

Tomorrow, I'm going for a week long vacation = (snow + skiing + pub + sleep)*7 - if my liver and kidneys survive, I'll have some snow flights videos

All the pictures look amazing. Do you use manual controls?

For flight? Yes - every move is made by my fingers
For camera? I sometimes forget to switch to manual - and the postpro is hell. So when I realize I'm flying on auto, I retake the shot.

Yes I meant with the camera. And ya I should learn how to use manual

Best method is trying it with no exact schedule. If you fly long enough, it eventually starts making sense.

Alright! Thanks for the advice

That's interesting in that the vertical panoramas the camera is pointing down. I will have to give it a try.
But yes, excellent images.

It's pointing straight, down and a bit up - it's the position you can't achieve normally, the spark has it to compensate the acceleration forward tilt.

Half a kilometer height, freezing -8 celsius temperature. Pushing the limits too far. Respect to Spark

“Basecamp” is 826m above sea level

Gorgeous images! Thanks for sharing.

Another few frozen pictures

everytime i see this picture .. i stare at it for a while .. simply beautiful

Almost a miracle - the sun still exists

very nice picture .. great view

Fractal_CZ Posted at 2018-1-21 10:54

Fractal_CZ Posted at 2018-1-21 11:00
And complete panorama with some "happy little clouds"
Snow panorama

again, nice picture

Well. I knew SPARK is little badass guy, but this looks pretty serious to me - quite strong wind, and almost dark (I'm behind the hill, so the only one who sees the sunset is the SPARK up there)

PANORAMA HERE:

very nice sunset .. thanks for sharing

Very nice love the colors.  Not to heavy handed on the HDR...great work.

beautiful!

Oh, there is one. When it's cold and windy, you have to fly over soft surfaces

This photo is amazing. What a great place to fly!!

Great photo!. You just don't the snow like that here in Melbourne. What altitude were you at in this photo.

About 500m. Today I’m in 1000m above sea level and the nature is stunning. Hopefully the weather allow me to record some nice pictures and videos

...weather was stunning! Stay tuned

Just a small teaser to my upcoming video from frozen and snow covered Sumava forests

Looking forward to that

Great Shots & Videos - Waiting for more

All have been great!

Looks cold ;)

Hi guys. I know I promised the video, but I have been sick pretty long. Sending greetings from the winter night sky. Almost touching the clouds as always - the way I like it

Fractal_CZ Posted at 2018-1-19 13:30
OK, let's face it - I hacked slightly the DJI Spark firmware so there is more performance in sport mode (and higher initial tilt of course). I was just trying to fly the distance of approx 700m when suddenly there is a car on the scene (I didn't realize it when flying).
Raw footage, no sound

Hi dear mate, thanks a lot for aweesom pics. Any access to f/w source code or decompiling f/w? Is it possible to have a look on compass routins and see why Spark compass so easily interfered and spark goes to ATTI mode?

The reason why I'm still not filming. The landscape below is absolutely stunning when sun reveals. Now it looks dull and flat. Well, no place to cry, I was trying some long distance flight. And let you know that I'm healthy again and stay tuned for the long ago announced winter video
