I’m relatively new to the world of drones. I Purchased a Spark three months ago and am fairly adept at flying it now. The only thing that baffles me is the quality of the sparks video recordings , there seems to be a wave that starts at the top of the screen and descends to the bottom and this repeats itself every two to three seconds. I have seen this in a number of different spark videos on YouTube as well, but it doesn’t seem to be the case with the more expensive drones like the Mavic and Phantom. Could anybody please tell me why this happens with the spark?

Hello! I took this video with my Spark: https://youtu.be/ZgpYemiEaM0
Could you please tell me are there such waves as you described above?

Actually it’s more like a temporary blurring then back to perfect picture, then blurring and repeat. It’s more noticeable in some backgrounds compared to others.  I don’t think I can see it in your video though.

I can’t attach my Sparks footage taken from my iPhone 6 onto this so you lot can take a look at the problem I’m talking about. It says the format isn’t supported. Any thoughts on how I get round this?

Anyone got any idea how I convert the footage from iPhone to a format I can transfer to here?

OK so I figured out I’d put it on to YouTube and let you lot view it from there. It’s just random footage of my neighbourhood, the problem with the video footage is clear for all to see but I can’t figure out why it’s happening and how to remedy it.

It might be due to the fact that you are using cached video. Try downloading actual video from the Spark and see how it looks.

I don’t have an sd card yet...might try recording via it instead of phone but don’t really think that’s the problem. It’s pi**ing me off because  I’m not  doing anything wrong when piloting it.

Use a SD card before you complain, please!
