So, I am a flightless (so far) Spark newb.  Was wondering what the max time anyone has achived in near-perfect conditions with one battery.

Thanks!

15-16 min. but when i see the red on the app for low battery warning, i land it.

Good day. Congratulations on your new Spark. The battery of the Spark can last for 16 minutes (no wind at a consistent 12.4 mph (20 kph)). I'll be sending you a link for you to have the specifications of the spark https://www.dji.com/spark/info#specs. I hope this link can help you a lot with your new Spark. Thank you.

I always land with 28% -30% and I do about 12 minutes. I never leave until the last drop. I do not like to risk. Also I have 3 batteries and the charging station, so I have for fly a little over 1 hour.

My record so far is 13min, but those were close range flights and mostly hovering with a little sport mode hooning at the end. Avg for longer range stuff where I would start to worry about getting back home are more like 10min. I believe DJI's claim that you could get 15min if only cruising around at 12mph, but that's not a real-world use case.

12 minutes is my longest flight time yet. had 24% battery left. not taking any risk, don't want to encounter auto-land.

9 minutes to 10 minutes is the max flight time before the AC lands with just <15% remaining.

Just did 14 minutes with a forced landing at the end.

Thanks everyone....  I know conditions will make this vary...  where I live its generally breezy at the very least, so I am predicting 10-12 whilst playing it safe as so many of you have suggested...  I have UAV forecast, love the wind profile feature...  gusts at various heights... great app.  Hoping this weekend will allow a maiden flight.  Looks like rain in our parts, so it may have to wait.  Happy flying!

The app will also provide the relative info about the flight time, you can refer to the DJI GO 4 manual here. Before a flight, I will also suggest reading the Spark manual first. Keep flying safe and enjoy.

14 minutes with a very fast landing with a warning message. Now I do 12 and land.

My maximum was 15min but generally around 10-12min.

My longest flight time was 14 minutes and 6 seconds. I usually fly about 12-13 minutes.

Generally about 13 minutes with 15% remaining juice at landing.

14:48 with 10% remaining

12 min max, landing at about 20%

just over 15 minutes and an emergency landing at 3% nearly dropped it into a lake. Glad I managed it, will probably try 13 minutes from now on.

12mins to 20%  Battery...  10-11mins with Prop guards on..   The 16 min claimed flight time is in perfect conditions and running battery to 0% which isn't a good thing..

My top so far is 13 minutes.

Safe Flying everyone one.
Alex.
