    DJI Spark Lens hood!

    I have one and the early tests are good. I keep it on in the case and believe it does give some protection to the camera.

    Auto edit

    I'm finding that after a flight the edited short video is already in the DJI GO 4 app when I open it. The exception was when I had run out of memory on my iPad Mini 4. Since I have created more memory it is back to doing these automatically.

    Get the Mavic Pro or wait for Spark?

    Had the Mavic Pro....it wasn't worth the wait for me. Sold it used at a small profit. Don't miss it. Wanted cheaper and even easier drone to fly on my outdoor adventures. Loved that this one doesn't require a remote, has many advanced features that Mavic Pro 2 will have in a couple years...

    Spark - it's GREAT (for what it isn't)

    Gesture control, hand launch, hand landing, 3D front sensors, pano mode, blurred background mode, USB charging, and no need for remote control for most selfie photos or videos. Also shows more range in WiFi mode than Mavic in tests. And this is just what we know now, just wait until release...

    Spark - it's GREAT (for what it isn't)

    So many new features on this new Spark over the Mavic.

    New user advice please

    If you want all the new advanced features DJI has to offer and can live with a small difference in video quality for internet use then get the Spark with its 3D sensors, gesture control, wireless charging, USB charging, one touch pro-style flying modes, pano & shallow focus images, and less...

    Charging dock

    Sorry, my comment about Mavic Pro being outdated was not fair to the MP. I think I had some built-up resentment from the MP forum and their derogatory comments about the Spark. I think I have it out of my system now:-)

    Charging dock

    Wireless Charging....Another reason to buy the Spark over the outdated Mavic Pro

    Poll: Are you going to buy a Spark?

    Wanted the latest technology of 3D sensors, gesture control, pano, wireless charging, microUSB charging, and smallest size DJI drone. Mavic Pro doesn't have any of these things and costs twice as much. WTF! Bring on the Spark and it's 1080 camera, who needs 4K for sharing on the internet? Not me!

    SparkPilots dot com

    Ok, all I saw was an index page a couple days ago. I see they have a very unoccupied site up now. Too bad, but just link your new Spark site from here and we'll find it. Looking forward to a Spark Forum that has constructive comments and info about Spark rather than so much talk about it not...

    Ok, good. Thought it might make sense to have a separate forum.

    Will there be a SparksPilots dot com?

    Would you buy a spark?

    Ordered one as it is perfect for me...simple to operate without a remote control and simple to get 30 sec edited video. Who really wants to watch these boring drone videos that go on and on. Not me. I want to get short videos of fishing adventures and hiking trips, and don't want to have to...

    Show me your bag/case!

    Found a Swiss SM-74 gas mask bag in basement that is water resistant, small, and Mavic Pro fits inside with Remote Control, extra battery. Free from basement! Price of $2.99 is still written on it. Looks like these go for $8-15 on eBay now. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
