Managed to find a quiet spot to take a few snapshots. Hopefully i can increase the quality and sleekness with some more practice...

Good stuff

good start!
   

Nice Video, but why do you have such a Soft Image ? Choppy ? and also Bad Pixels at 1min00sec - 1min05sec ?

Is this the Actual Footage from the MicroSD Card ? Can you tell us what you are using - Brand / Speed or Post Photo ?

Also when doing Turns and Movements, try to do them more Smoothly and Slowly as it will bore the Watchers. Some suggested I use Tripod Mode, which slows down you Spark. Look at this Video -

You can see it was from the DJI app (so the footage was taken from the cache and not from the SD)

Fun to see.
Although I would leave some fast motion parts out in my next edit

Thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it.

I have a few choppy picture images and I'm not sure why. The sd card is a Kingston 16gb however I plan on changing this when the new one arrives..
Also I'm still in beginner mode as I don't want to bits off more than I can chew. After destroying my first quadcopter I'm paranoid about going too high or fast so I'm trying to ease in slowly.

It took a while for GPS to kick in and once in it did say poor signal on take off then sorted itself out. Not sure if this is normal ?

How can I change this? Thanks again

Take out the SD Card from the Spark Drone and put it in a Card Reader.

The Video Cache is there as Evidence just in case you lose your Spark, the Resolution will be Very Low and will contain lots of disconnections to the Video Feed.

Are you using Phone only or connecting with Remote + Phone ?

For the Spark use a SanDisk Class 10 (Write Speed for FullHD 1080p) 32GB or 64GB.

Choose from Ultra or Extreme or Extreme Pro.

The Micro SDCX must be very fast so your Spark doesnt buffer or lose frames while recording.

Beware of cheap sellers, they are usually fake cards. Buy from Shops / or Sellers with Good Feedback.

Thanks DMX, You are full of excellent knowledge and information! I have a sd card coming from ebay but doesnt look as of that will help much. Better buy another..  

Oh and im just using my phone just now. I havent purchased the remote yet. I will get it once I've saved a bit.

You are Welcome Mate, I am here to give my advise and my opinion.

Don't fly far, without Remote, as you can lose contact easily, keep the Drone near you and in Line of Sight always.

Goodluck for your Savings.

Great place for AC training!

Good day! Great job on both pictures and video. Just a reminder when you buy an accessory for your Spark please choose the original brand or contact a DJi authorized dealer or a store so that the result will be awesome on both pictures and videos.

Cool, thanks for sharing!
