i also consider for very long between mavic and spark then finally go for spark.

Is your room well lit? If not, the downward optical sensor wont work well. Your DJI Go4 show ATTI or OPTI?

It's a quick calibration for the spark. The app will automatically notify you if it needs to be done.
A bad calibration might cause it to move about randomly.

Ah i guess that explains. Room not really well lit. I din check it shows atti or opti.later night checj again

I see.after the drone crash the apps notified me to the compass calibration only.

then you should go for mavic pro instead hahaha.. if budget is not your concern n you plan to have better capturing or into dronegraphy

I think thats why, if it show Atti means there it's in full manual mode without any GPS/downward sensor assists to hold position but barometer should still work to hold altitude

It's not recommend to do IMU calibration if the APP did not ask you, normally it's shipped with IMU calibrated in control environment as I read from other forum.

Almost pull the trigger on mavic pro, but worry I will not fly it alot because mavic pro look more threatening to public, haha. So decide to get Spark, as I could easily launch it anywhere or launch and land using hand. May upgrade to mavic pro 2 next time when Spark cant meet my requirement

it's spark can launch it anywhere? or same like mavic pro n other drones got limitation where only can launch it on certain heights, no fly zone, restriction on certain countries, registration or written permission required?

It's same like mavic pro, there is limitation to follow too. Just that due to it's size and look, it look less threatening in public thus less issue I guess beside that Spark can easily use hand launch & land where it's possible to use when you're on a boat/yatch where mavic can use hand but there is a risk.

Actually main benefit of Spark is weight, 4 battery + spark + controller, its just around Mavic weight with 1 battery. So it's more comfortable when carry with other camera gear

ahhh.. ic.. i also think impossible there no limitation.. how i wish that there is no just like zerotech dobby

Yeap, I think it's due to Spark take off weight is 300g more than 250g set by FAA, not sure if FAA applicable for US only or include other country. If i not wrong, drone law applicable for all drone include zerotech dobby, just try avoid flying above crowded area then should be ok.

yeah i know.. just that zerotech dobby no need registered..

some places really need to take pics especially travel.. attraction places sure crowded.. so beat the meaning of selfies drone already ma can only launch on outskirts or some places.. still gonna take my camera, smarthphone, gimbal or action cam to take pics.. during travel

Anyone bought extra battery locally at a good price ? Looking to buy additional unit.

Just go to this site: https://www.qoo10.my/item/BUY-AT-RM-1845-WI...Question_Answer

Then at the middle of the page got a banner for the coupons. Click there to get the coupons. Something like RM390 for min spending RM2,200 that's how it applies for this purchase. I use mobile app to buy. I think that's one of the conditions.

Sure will!

very very tempting now..... thanks for the good deal info.

Haha yeap, but I believe crowded place should still have some spot with less people and you could have a quick launch on your drone go up, take a few picture/video then come back down.

You got a lot of gadgets For me just camera and tripod, and now add 1 more Spark (If the country allow).

Buy first, regret later but I believe you wont regret after you get

already blow my budget for gadgets this month. but seeing good deal like this, hard to resist.

perhaps i can secretly launch awhile n not that high.. hopefully wont being caught. lolz.. but also scare as other countries rules is quite strict. they will demand or hold your stuffs if being caught.

i where got lotsa gadgets.. normal common one only.
