use next month budget to get for this month

Yup, as long as it's not a no fly zone and you dont see no drone sign around then it will be safe to fly by following the country rule. Normally if the country not allow to fly, when you enter they will confiscated and store at airport until when you leaving the country only can collect back.

Got gimbal and action cam You do videography a lot?

anyone can recommend me a 32gb memory card for my spark?

i heard about it will be store and confiscated at the airport

i don't have gimbal n action cam. that is my wish list only i also wish to own one.. slowly 1 by 1 la.. no i seldom do videography. i shoot pics more

Yeah, I heard Vietnam started recently but not sure true or not. Vietnam is a nice play to fly drone also, if they really ban then thats very bad.

Haha same, I dont really take video, prefer picture more. I got thought of get go pro hero 5 to replace my mirrorless, but scare picture quality not on par of what I prefer so in the end still back to mirrorless.

First test flight today. Flight time about 12 minutes with 14percent battery life left.find it very hard to control with the phone and the apps itself crashed 2 times during the flight.and then keep getting lost signal...my god...i think need to buy controller liao...any place to suggest? Wana get the combo with propeller guard,battery and the hub as well.

Try put your phone in airplane mode and on your WiFi only. If you using android, clear your ram first before start using. I also heard alot story of android app crash, but so far I fly 4 times there is no crash, normally i just clear my background app + ram before starting. Oh, and remove any bluetooth device such as earpiece or smart watch.

will try it again tomorrow.

just took mine out for its first spin. Manage to get around 15~20min flight time with multiple takeoff/landing.
100% sure that additional battery is needed.
And the GPS seems to be unstable even in an open area.

P.S : That moment when you hit the Return to Home first time, and the drone shoots straight up

What did you set for your return to home altitude? If you flying higher it will remain, but if flying lower than the altitude you set, it will go up to the altitude only fly back to home point.

i tried it in the beginner mode, should be the default 20m high.
Nevertheless, it manage to prove that the RTH works though for my Spark

yea the gps unstable and i keep getting signal lost too. and the drone drop from where its hovering straight to the ground(without stopping and straight hit the ground,lucky it was on grass), not sure if its emergency landing

I think RTH default at 30m. Yup, RTH will work.

What's the GPS count you get when take off? and the GPS count when drop? You can upload your log to airdata/phantomhelp to get more details log, so you can roughly know what causes the issue. By right drone should not drop suddenly.

how do i check the log?thanks for the info

If you're under 20m (or 20 ft, don't remember) away from the drone, it will land from where it is at and not at the home point.

oh really? i didn't know as i never been before hehe..

eh we have same thought la.. but in the end i can choose either 1 as $$ concern. hero 5 or spark.. h5 quality not bad but most people use it for capture video more.. i think spark will not have the quality of the cam output as well.. hehe

Go to airdata.com and register a free user, then there is some steps to get sync token. after that install HD Sync in your device and insert the token then enable Auto Sync. So it will auto sync your DJI Go 4 log into airdata, then air data will breakdown your log to multiple category.

Ok will do it later.
I check back the flight record, this photo can see the drone dropped vertically fast with 16 gps bar but with "no gps" sign lol.

Apparently it runs better with iphones. I use an android too and it is unstable.

Yeap, vietnam got alot nice scenary. About the drone I'm not so sure but saw that at other forum where people discussing.

Yeah, seem like hero 5 is more for video rather than picture but with the size it's really convenient. For me if I have to choose hero 5 or spark, I will go with Spark although the quality of cam may not be on par with hero 5 but it give you a different perspective of the world

Did you get any error stating magnetic interference?

I following China DJI forum closely before I bought, and actually there is alot of them having similar issue, drone suddenly drop out from sky or sudden lost of GPS but the other english forum, there is much lesser complain on the issue so I guess it might related to China being the first batch of having the Spark and there might be some fix on later batch. Can't confirm on this.
