@@afonsha Tello is trash and us drone pilots don’t see it as a drone, We see it as Toy. Can’t even film or make pictures with that and 80 meters range is nothing to 13.000 meters on my Mavic Pro. Sorry if u have it, I bet you think the same if you have it
Thank you! I just bought my spark today! It's definitely more affordable then other drones. But by any names still not cheap. I got the fly more package today and I paid over $800 in Canada this is with the DJI refresh
Thanks for the video! I would recommend pointing the antennas at the drone for better reception and also ALWAYS hard wire the remote the the phone to ensure the best transmission signal.
@@UmarHKhan I got it about 2 years ago as a Xmas present and possibly used it like 2 times, it’s only now I’m using it more. Still new looking and works real good.
I just bought my spark for $114.00!!! At my job on clearance, just the spark, no remote. But I flew it for the first time today and , compared to my mini Kk8, it a beast. Love it..
Another Great Video! I have the DJI Phantom 3 4K and it does a fantastic job. The Spark looks like a great way to pack a smaller drone along. Great job.
When I was looking at buying a drone I was looking at something really compact that would be good for travel. So I go the Mavic. A week later, DJI released the Spark. Oh well, I love my Mavic. We've taken some amazing footage for our vlogs.
Nice tips!! The DJI spark is the perfect drone for beginners and for those who just want to take lovely holiday shots. Its affordable and so easy to learn to fly.
Had an DJI phantom before that dropped from the sky with no reason. Are looking to get a Phantom 4 Pro and I will invest in their care agreement. The best tip I got is to fly smooth and slow and also to only include small portions of drone footage in your video. Looks very professional then. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Thanks great shooting tips . I just bought the spark 3 days ago - amazed at how it’s opened up a whole new world of possibilities - you can literary be a one man film maker - and its fun to fly on its own - love the small size - my first drone was easy to get up and running ....
Always a GREAT video Sean your tips have helped me tremendously. Also update that is needed is the update of the firmware of the smart battery. Happy thanksgiving.
My son just go his today. We can't wait to add video he takes to our videos. We live very close to a big town and he had a cheap drone he got some good shoots with so ha saved up him money and go himself a Spark.
Nice tips. One thing I don't like about Quickshots is the fact that you can't change the camera exposure settings. I get overblown footage all the time from that mode.
I love my spark. I use it to track wild life and to fly over feeders to see what's being attracted before I walk up to it so I don't scare away wild life. One tip I'd give is when flying in windy conditions, plan your flight route before hand. Fly to the furthest point. Then take shots coming back to home. Make the home point at a location so the wind is in your face. You can fly till you get a low battery alert and still make it home with ease. If the wind is at your back, you may run out of battery coming back home FOR obvious reasons, flying up wind. When I plan my flight, I find that I get the most out of my battery and get better shots knowing before hand what I want to achieve.
Thanks for the video! One question. Can you use palm takeoff and take over with the controller, or use the controller and still do a palm landing? Any help would be appreciated and thanks again for all the info.
Great video, Sean. Thank you! When the Spark is tracking you, and you walk toward it, will it maintain distance? Basically, could you do a Aaron Sorkin-type walk-and-talk?
I'm especially enamored with this video. The reason is, it's very well done, and especially "to the point", and covers a lot of important things. I's also very honest and gives some great video tips on different shots. I bought the Mavic Pro first, because I got a killer deal on it, but then bought the Spark, mainly because it's less conspicuous, works very well, and is just plain fun. Thanks for a video very well done. Marc Trainor.
Hello all very good video! I have had my Spark for about a month now been flying a lot and with the help of videos like this no crashes and some great footage already! One of my tips for all spark flyers is for the RC controller, to change In the dji go app the RC custom function button under the photo snap button on front right of RC control . Default is land and it’s super easy to bump that button and an unexpected landing could be bad news , and nearly was for me, the first time it happened to me almost made me crap my pants, as I was over a swimming pool in my friends yard taking photos of our wives! Chopped up wives are not friendly creatures!! Easy to change in the app just go to settings and the. On left click the icon for the RC and then change custom functions of that button on right to what you want , I pick camera down and forward that way as the button above is snapshot easy way to set up for a picture. Reg
Great footage just advice to get the range extenders shield and the bars type work great £15.99 on Amazon for both versions ov the signal boosters and I was really surprised how it can still hold position even in strong winds
Excellent Video Sean. I like how you not only talk about the features and specs, but you *actually* used it to capture real life footage + showed the results. Again, Fantastic video! 👍
I have used the Spark for a few months now and it truly gives another viewpoint to my cycling videos! And by the way - in addition to updating the drone itself, the RC and the mobile app, you have to update also the batteries 😉
Wal Mart started selling DJI drones. If you're on a budget, look for the DJI TELLO. it's about 100 bucks, has cool features and inexpensive to train with. You won't be disappointed
I just got one (late to the game). I'm getting only about 10 minutes of flight time, but I bought mine used and the batteries were made in May 2015, so maybe that's why.
Thanks for great info Sean. I love my Spark. I’ve had it since early summer this year and have taken great aerial photos and videos with it. Best parts are portability and 12MP camera!
I actually just purchased a DJI spark and am starting to play around with it. Thanks for the tips. Whats the deal with registering your drone? Is that something you have to do?
I'm a videographer looking into drones, I can't see myself spending the big bucks on a mavic as there's tight restrictions for commercial drone use in the UK but for home videos and projects, this drone would be perfect.
Been flying the spark for a while now, love it love it love it. I know the camera could be better etc etc but the fact that it is so portable is the main reason I use it. Is there going to be a spark upgrade? Lets hope so...……..:)
I am way behind the curve here, but I just bought the Spark (used) for $280. It only had 30 min of flight time and came with guards and the remote. I went ahead and got a bigger case, multi battery charger and an extra battery. So far I love it. My first drone video comes out tomorrow!
Thanks for the reviews ... and a pretty nice video. And I will add these, that I once worked with a guy who is probably your look-alike ;) Warm greetings...
The DJI spark is the best starter drone! Definitely worth the money. 👊🏽
Agree
And the tello?

Until the DJI released the mini 1 and now the mini 2, both under 250grams
@@afonsha unde to 80grams ,good micro drone
New to the Spark, and I really like the tripod mode. Makes smooth video with slow controls that help a beginner like me.

I've had the DJI spark for 7 months now and I've been loving every second of it!! I'm so glad I picked it up!
Fly time after 2 years?
Thanks for the video! I would recommend pointing the antennas at the drone for better reception and also ALWAYS hard wire the remote the the phone to ensure the best transmission signal.
Rich DiFeo which hard wire? Is it included in the Spark Combo?
@@jenniferalcazar833 It is called OTG cable, that connects RC and smartphone/tablet
You are so right to achieve cinematic shots linear is key,straight lines vertically or horizontally. Great tips !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know this is an old video but I wanted to comment about the DJI care. It is a must !!! I crashed my inspire 2 sad face and got it replaced for $200.
This was the best tutorial using the spark, I have one and all the videos I’ve watched is not as explanatory as your video. Thank you
When did you get it? How’s it holding up in 2021?

Thnx 4 that Video!
is it advisable to fly the drone when its so windy? like on the beach, sometimes beaches kinda windy.
I actually just purchased a DJI spark and am starting to play around with it. Thanks for the tips. Whats the deal with registering your drone? Is that something you have to do?
Cory Adams no you don’t have to anymore if you live in the USA.
Thanks so much I was looking at this drone.
same here
Does Spark make your video while you are walking towards drone. If Yes please share video.
I'm a videographer looking into drones, I can't see myself spending the big bucks on a mavic as there's tight restrictions for commercial drone use in the UK but for home videos and projects, this drone would be perfect.
Best TH-camr
👊💯
Great stuff. It actually delivers some good footage 👍
I agree - the footage looks great!
hi shawn nice to see you after a long time...
Great to see you Jo!
So mavic vs spark which one and does the mavic have the same quick drones?
very useful
Is it good for wedding videography?
Been flying the spark for a while now, love it love it love it. I know the camera could be better etc etc but the fact that it is so portable is the main reason I use it. Is there going to be a spark upgrade? Lets hope so...……..:)

THAnkYou SO
MUCH FOR explaining everything in details and very professional and passionate manner .!!!
Are the short videos all filmed with your spark? I think my Spark does not have such a good quality...
Thank You
Thanks for the reviews ... and a pretty nice video. And I will add these, that I once worked with a guy who is probably your look-alike ;)
Warm greetings...
can you make it follow you by walking towards the drone & the drone hovering back as you walk towards it?
Yes, but be careful. It has no back sensors.
Thinking and researching to buy my first DJI drone.
Very good tips. It's encouraging to a potentially new drone flyer like myself. You showed me some really cool things this drone can do. Thank you!!
I just got the Dji spark a few days ago and I'm so excited for it to help me take my videos to the next level. Great video!
Dude mine arrived yesterday, still have to do software update etc otherwise im so excited and i cant wait to use it :)
