I read things like "must have" and "essential", allow me to disagree.
I don't consider extra batteries accessories, they're just extra batteries. Neither the RC.
The Anker power banks (great company by the way) are more of an accessory for your phone/tablet, rather than for the Spark itself, considering you already have 5 batteries. Do they allow you to charge a battery individually, bypassing the AC? I mean, can you still fly the Spark while a battery is being charged by the power bank?
It's good to have differing opinions and to see what others consider "essential".
I did a lot of flying in the cold, Alberta, Canada winter and the skin, I felt, was essential for visibility in the snow and ice because, yeah, I have a white Spark.
On longer hikes, I will use the Anker battery to charge my iPhone and my Spark battery in between flights. The remote does indeed outlast them all. It's slow going but it's gotten me an extra flight after exhausting all 5 batteries and always wanting one more shot.
I think RC protection is probably next for me. |
