Did some further waypoints testing with Spark and Autopilot.

Everything worked ok. Lost connection** on the last waypoint, RTH back with no problems.
   
The focus of the mission was the word "Universo" (Universe in Portuguese, as you guys shall suspect ;-)


Toughts:

1 - The absence of gimbal third axis becomes more visible in such flight. Not a big deal, but you can se the Spark trying hard to yaw to maintain focus.

2 - **Impirical feeling that the range with Autopilot seems to be lower than with DJI Go 4.

3 - MAN! You have to be confident in technology to watch your "bird" zipping around "by itself", sometimes at 20+ MPH!! :-|

Wow, that actually looks great!

Well... actually it´s a pretty "plain" footage for testing purposes only.....

.... but waypoints opens a really huge world of creative possibilities

That looks great. I installed Autopilot but didn't try it yet. Need more time and a bit more confidence in my drone and myself.

I know, what I ment was that it looks great in a way that this would be close to impossible when flying manually!

I'll say, and you're demonstrating it nicely. That is the one function I would love to have.

Nice job! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
