Hello all, just wanting to start a post to express my fun when flying my tiny Spark!!
  
  
Here is a short summary:
  
  • I have been flying RC models in the last 25 years including competitions for gliders (and winning some of them:-)
  • I am mastering all kind of RCs including helis and enjoy to build aircrafts including some T-Rex
  • Recently I have started Paragliding and now all comes together!

  
  
So I bought a Spark combo, started hoovering in my flat, took it outside and what to say: GREAT!!!
  
  
Thinking back a few years a RTH button was something from the miracle box and I climbed some trees to get down the RCs of my dad (who could build RC but not really fly them ;-).
  
  
So finally, I am really impressed by this little "toy" and just wanted to start a wish list (If someone from Dij forum read this) from a long RC experience:
  
  • Receiver, is from my point of view mandatory, so please don’t sell Spark without it. If possible change the wheel for the gimbal from horizontal to vertic (this would be more natural)
  • I have tested OTG cable and its really a positive thing without having that much of interferences (I am PhD electronical engineering so should know what I am talking about)
  • Flight time is really ok considering the size and weight. Taking off the prop guards gave me 2 minutes more
  • Sound is ok but maybe Dij will release some low noise props as for Mavic. I will be one of the first buy

  
  
So Final thanks a lot for this great forum (especially the nonprofessionals like Wachtberger or hallmark007) who give REAL usefull input.
  
  
PS: I will be traveling around Europe for one year starting April and will hopefully shoot some descent footages with the Spark :-)

"If possible change the wheel for the gimbal from horizontal to vertic (this would be more natural)

I agree wholeheartedly.  Even now it's a 50/50 gamble whether I get it right or not.

Congratulations and I am happy that you like your Spark as I do! Thank you as well for your compliment, not sure that I merit it, but thank you :-) And I am really looking forward to the footage of your roundtrip though Europe. Wish you always happy landings!

They did good on the Spark. Now I'm just hoping that if Spark 2 is released soon that it is 4k. And I'm excited for next Tuesday's announcement!!

Many people says that "If you gonna buy Mavic you will sell your Spark" So I bought Mavic and  I will never sell my Spark. I love that "toy"

Hello all and thanks a lot for the great replys . !!!!!!

Regarding the Gimbal weel its a super tip and I will try it next flights.

Here in Bavaria Germany we had unflyable weather, but indoor is also fun

@Wachtberger: I am thinking to also get a Mavic and would be glad to have your thoghts on the idea. I am still searching for the Businesscase

@Electra and Grace: Thanks a lot, I am appriciating your posts :-)!!  Please just tell the Dij developers that the products are great (but there is always room for improvement eg OTGKabel)!

All of you many happy flights!!

Since you are asking me directly, I'd suggest to wait for next Tuesday: https://forum.dji.com/thread-129677-1-1.html
The Mavic Air what it is likely going to be is on my shopping list already ;-)
