    Spark Gesture Mode Reliability

    I have experienced very poor reliability of the gesture mode. The face recognition seems slow at times.....but, if you keep at it, it eventually connects into the gesture mode. The extended hand to position the Spark does work, but sometimes is too difficult to make it worthwhile. My arm gets...

    Missing Map

    My search seems to indicate the dji go4 app will,allow off-line cache of maps in the android app, but not the iOS app. I was not able to find an option to cache maps in the General Menu. :-(

    Missing Map

    I don't see the small map showing my current position in the lower right corner of my camera screen. Is that normal? Edit.....I'm using an iPad without an internet connection to control my Spark. I think I need to cache a map. I need to search and figure out how to do that.

    Spark for discretion?

    I have P3A and a P2V+ before that. Both are just too big for me to travel with. I've done it, but too much work. I bought a Mavic, but then when the Spark was announced I held off opening the Mavic. Spark arrived today. I plan to return the Mavic. For me, the Spark is the better travel quad...

    Should I get the Spark?

    The gesture mode seems unreliable. The extended arm with stationary hand seems to work most of the time. The hand wave to have it fly back and up is VERY inconsistent.

    Photo printer?

    I have a high quality wide format 7 color Epson printer that I used for several years to print photos and computer generated artwork I created. Now the printer sits idle and I print my art/photos at Costco! For ease and cost and quality, it is much easier, cheaper, larger and better quality than...

    DJI Osmo Hands-On: A 4K Cam For Super Steady Video, No Skill Required

    For me, the deal breaker using Osmomis the need to repeatedly link it to my iPhone to use. I need a camera I can push a button, have it turn on,many be able to use it. Turning it on and then linking it before using it works if you're shooting a movie,,but for everyday use,mite a deal breaker.

    Bungee jumping seen from Phantom 2

    That looks way too dangerous! Why would they let him jump without a helmet using a selfie stick? I would think it much too dangerous.

    Was this movie clip filmed with a drone? Amelie (2001)

    Movie is over 15 years old....I'm guessing not filmed with a drone.
