Glad you like it bro! If you give me your first and last name I'll use that instead of your dji forum account name in footer credentials and post it to share with friends and family. Or we can leave it?

Wow lighting strikes are so hard to capture on video especially at at 30fps that was a nice catch. The closest I ever got was using a Flip Ultra at 60 fps and I captured a strike. But that was more by mistake that actually trying. Cool pmshop.

All I can do is check the lightning detector maps, go up and hope for the best.
I got this one totally blind (no FPV) with a 60fps XaioMi Yi camera mounted on a home made quad:

If I remember correctly from the lightning map about 10 miles.
Just a guess at post #11, five miles

Very cool pictures!  One of the things I'm most looking forward to with my Spark is hopefully getting some lightning shots like this.  Living in South Florida, I should have plenty of opportunity!

My best advice to you, pay attention to several different radar sites. Know the movement timing of your area. You don't want the Spark up and get into a downpour.

To show you how rare it is for me, between shot 1 and shot 2 is two 2 years and 3 months.
Sure I get frontal movements and rain clouds but lightning strikes with all the right elements - especially clean side - very rare.

Thanks for the advice!  I almost put the Spark up the other day just before a storm but I'm glad I didn't.  Within a few minutes, it started raining fairly hard, so I can see timing is key.

About 2 years ago, we had a huge lightning storm with no rain that lasted for a good 30 minutes.  It was awesome and I really with I had my spark back then.  Got a little of it with my phone, but it's nothing compared to what I could have gotten from the sky with a drone.
