I'm going to use it to train myself to know where I need work.  As you know, when you use your inner perspective it wouldn't be able to catch flaws and what you do right so I got it to orbit while I do things in life to check for alignment.  Like, calibration.

thx, I originally wanted a Hero 7 Black but reconsidered.  I wanted a tracking tripod set but it cost $800+.  Went with Pocket Radar but realized MPH doesn't matter.  Then went DJI for Activetrack and Spark for palm launches and landing that you can't do w/ the others.  The portable battery station is also mega cool and easy.   I used a USB-C SD microadapter to transfer the files as wireless takes too long.  Then I edit with the Note 9.

I was building quadcopters back in 2013 but the technology has gone so far.  It's sucks for "FPV racing" though.

Hi, welcome, looking @your first movie, great job! Also a tip, you can using active track on a person, select the person in your active track with a box, do not hit go if you want your spark in same position. Start recording, the spark follows the person but stay in place.

Nice view! I am personally a little bit scary to fly over sport fields, so you are a brave man!

yeah, that's what I did but if you are near someone or something that has nearly the same makeup it will switch tracking to that

oh yeah thx (everyone), I will try to upload a lot of intelligent methods on how to use the Drone and upload them here

It should be used as a 3rd person platform instead of just capturing scenery.

It's very steady and stable.  With the DJI careplan, I'm not scared to crash over land.  I'm only worried when it's overwater but I never fly over water because there are a lot of birds.

Beware of balls! Yesterday I was flying over ski park and a couple of boys who played with the tennis ball around there and were looking for me, said each other: 'Let's kill the mosquito'. I do not know if they just kidding or said it seriously.

Yeah, I was going to activetrack at the park or at the beach but because it switches track to a similar 'object' and it's in flight it might crash into something when it tracks it w/o me paying attention to it.  I want it to follow me while I bike ride.  Luckily I found out about the automatic 'switching'.

I would want to see if I can record people while they do stuff but yeah, they could try to take it out of the sky.

A bit of overexposing here and there but otherwise good start.

I've had other edits that I've adjusted but I just kept everything straight off the camera w/o any editing.

Originally I didn't plan on it being actually good.  What happened was I was just clipping the good parts but some how I got lucky on the combination.  I just wanted to demo what it was like to actually film what I wanted to do quickly.  I want to copy the NFL Combine footage angles was the original intent.  I will try to make it better when it gets warmer combining footage from other areas too for good B-roll, Gopro. : )

You might want to use Manual exposure...do a forum search to find several posts on it.  Also, you might want to slow down your gimbal speed in settings...I use 3 to give a slower, more cinematic look.

Yeah, I moved it to 20 but in manual when moving around the image isn't too good.  The spark image quality isn't that great.  I'm thinking about listening to an audio file and making scenes off that instead of selecting a song file after the clips have already been done.
