Hey everyone,

Back again with a new video (Part 2) of my dad's village in central Greece.   I hope you enjoy the flight.  
Please fasten seat belts and HOLD ON TIGHT!!!   Thanks for Watching..

Hello and good day Greg - TheHuski. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video you have captured in Greece. Wonderful work and thank you for your support.

Beautiful.

Does this Greek village have people?

Nice work!

Nicely done.

Nice shot, but the video is uncertain during the horizontal turn (1:50). I would have cut this part out of the material.
Spark does not have mechanical stabilization in YAW direction, so the video is not even when the drone turns.
Very nice videos can be made in straight line motion: advancing back and forth, ascending and descending. with lateral movements and combinations thereof. Rotation is unnecessary.

Excellent work

Yes...  don't forget Greeks sleep midday so most likely they were all in bed..

Yes one of the issues with the Spark..  Not having a 3rd axis..  Hopefully Spark II will address this issue.

I think it's not good to shoot video at the turn. The Mavic air has a 3-axle gimbal, but it does not make an appreciable recording during the turn.
The problem is about human vision (image processing). The quick side camera does not process the rapidly changing image content while in motion. Therefore, these movements are not beautiful. The film world does not use only slow svenk.
All drones are taken ugly if they turn quickly. These should be cut out of the video.

Thank you for watching

You are very much welcome Greg - TheHuski. Have a safe and happy flying always.

Unfortunately, the sad part of making a video going up down side to side without making any turns at all gets very tedious and boring.   I agree not having a 3rd axis limits the Spark.   At the end of the day people that own the Spark including myself are not professionals.    We just have to make the best with what we have..

Great footage, thanks for sharing

So you don't want to develop then? Then you want to hear this, too:
Great video! Congratulations!
(recently, instead of constructive criticism, they are all written without serious thought ...)

No all feedback is welcome..     I just wish the next Spark has 3 Axis..

Axis 3 is not required. The DJI assistant (in the developer mode) can reduce YAW speeds and adjust the joystick sensitivity. Then, in a tripod mode, you can make a nice video by turning very slowly.

Interesting info... Never used tripod mode.. Just too slow for my liking..  Good info tho..  Still go with the 3rd Axis if it was available for faster smoother turns.. Just my preference.

The tripod mode is not required if the joystick sensitivity is adjusted correctly. Reducing your sensitivity makes it easier to handle low speeds nicely. Then the little Spark is able to move and turn finer. The quick turn is dizzying in the video, but now I am able to make pleasant slow turns from the video.
If rain did not go on, I'd make a demo video.
