The DJI Spark Thread

Hmmm.....did u set Gimbal to "Follow" rather then "FPV" mode ?
Sport mode will also overwrites to "FPV" mode too.

Hello! What does that mean? I had been flying Spark on "non-sports mode" since day one. Never switch my remote control to sports-mode. I'm still beginner after >6months.

Question:
- Is "Follow mode" what I need?
- Can I force configuration to "Follow mode" in camera setting?
- Can switch in between "Sports mode" and "Non Sports mode" on the fly when drones is mid-flight, right?

Video speaks louder than words

Yes, Sports mode can be toggle on the fly without prob.

Anyone has had any issues with battery dropping out while flying? Heard about it on various blogs about battery dropping out while flying and both drone and battery kamikaze....has dji fixed the issue yet? Pondered for a while yesterday and decided to buy two of those battery straps... Only a few dollars each.

Where is our Spark expert hwzlite? Help!!
Questions:
- Kallang side where are NFZs? Any nice above water flying locations for Spark? Can you be our tour guide?
- Can I get Spark to take HiRes photos while it is filming video at the same time? Any way?

Good drone flying locations,


This is CAAS no-fly-zones

This one is after added NPB's no-fly parks
- Added Central Catchment, MacRitchie Reservoir, Jurong Lake, Labrador Park, Pulau Ubin and etc, plus 2 container ports

Remaining land area are mostly industrial or HDB residences. So, good drone flying locations left as Pandan Reservoir, West Coast Park, Telok Blangah hill Park, Marina Barrage & Kallang, East Coast Park, AngMoKio Park, and sentosa.

Really running out of space for drones... Sad

Yes using otg too.

Aside setting to fcc 2.4ghz and using antenna reflector, i also put my phone in airplane mode to minimize any possible interference.
