Good choice. Having gone from spark to pro myself I can confirm you’ll love the pro. It’s a big step up and you won’t miss the Wi-fi connectivity.

The OP appears to have had an issue with the app. They said the RC stayed connected, only the app disconnected.

I was under the impression that there were issues with the Android version of the app where disconnects are more common than on iOS? I also seem to recall reading somewhere that the S7 has issues? May be worth a google.

You’ve certainly not riled me. More amused me. Your suggestions fail to take in the fact that there are three Wi-fi drones being used here. Sometimes in the same area together, sometimes apart and in different areas. There’s also a wide range of areas they were being used in too, including a...

Also keen to know this one?

I also use a DSLR bag for my drone. They tend to be cheaper than dedicated drone bags and cases as well as better shaped and more comfy to carry. Mine’s a Lowepro Flipside 200.

Amazing pictures. Truly stunning. I’d not be permitted to take such images in the UK, just curious is it permitted in Hong Kong or do you just chance it? Strict rules often get in the way of good footage or images here sadly.

Exactly. Well said. However you need to be careful saying anything that’s not 100% about the air on here it seems :D But seriously, yes there are limitations on the Air that are certainly more noticeable in CE territories sadly.

Ah, so it’s a fanboy thing? I can’t possibly find that the air isn’t right for what I want in a product because I’m on an Air forum? I don’t own an electric car, but I know the range of them is often less than that of my petrol car and I know it takes longer to refuel. I’m still permitted an...

I’ve never claimed they were. My point is that I’d choose the Pro’s connectivity over that of the Air or Spark. I believe it to be superior over both drones that rely on Wi-fi connectivity. I appreciate they are different drones, but ultimately the Pro appears to have a better range than both.

I know for a fact there were no military operations nearby. There may have been agriculture somewhere but I didn’t see it. What I can say is that when flying them both on the same day at the same time one had a very poor range and one had an exceptional range. This is also the same experience...

Not sure how you work that out. When I was in the countryside there was no buildings or people for many miles. I choose this spot because there’s literally nothing around at all. And that same location is perfect for my Mavic Pro that can just keep going. CE Wi-fi restrictions make Wi-fi...

Wi-fi makes a massive difference, especially in Europe where we’re stuck with CE mode. I found that Wi-fi on my spark got me over me hedge and a couple of trees over the woodland. The pro however can just keep going and going. The same happened out in the open countryside with nothing...

The Pro can also do those pics. See my post above.

You can take the same shots with the Mavic Pro and it processes them itself within the app. No need for post processing yourself. Just select camera mode, settings, panorama and then the sphere option. The drone takes all the pictures and stores them. If you then press the play button (I do...
