    Really like the idea of setting your function button to speed up the camera move as it does need to be slowed way down while filming. What do you have your other button set to?

  • @carltontattoo
    @carltontattoo Před 6 lety +54

    great video however the antennas should point upward so the flat side is facing the drone for best signal.:)

    • @FrancisDarracott
      @FrancisDarracott  Před 6 lety +5

      Thanks for the information! I will update my bio.
      Hope you enjoy the rest of the content

    • @brianroberts5062
      @brianroberts5062 Před 6 lety +8

      Please update your video. Having the antenna pointed that way is the worst possible position. The transmission signal is the weakest from the antenna end.

    • @DazzaJ73

    • @jaymac5286
      @jaymac5286 Před 6 lety +1

      Never point an antenna at the intended target. That's what's referred to as the "cone of silence" in radio technology. The antennas should be perpendicular to the target. That's going to increase resonance.

    my wife bought me just the spark in the combo pack. i really love it and would to know some rookie questions. i have two questions the first: How do I know that i am filming when flying? when its connected to my phone does the spark automatically start filming? the second question: I have an iPhone X, so where does my filming go in my phone? i don't see it in my photo app. I have flown the drone a few times and looks like I have only one film shot. i know its operator error. thanks for helping.

  • @amadeusmoravac4238
    @amadeusmoravac4238 Před 3 lety

    Francis all you say is cool, I ask one question.. how to!..."Record-Pause-Record-Pause" with Spark while it's in the air..thus have 4 or 8 different angles in 1 continuous video-clip-shoot, rather than editing cutting-pasting-after.. I can do the "Record-Pause-Record-Pause" with the mobile on gimble and have one scene four different angles, I am interested to do it with Spark..is it possible? regards Steven

  • @Valerie-ii5zo
    @Valerie-ii5zo Před 6 lety

    How do you get this good quality videos. When I fly my drone the connetion is really bad and this culminates in sort of glitching frames. Do you use 3G or 4G?. Do you fly with or without controller and do you use any cable for the signal?

    • @FrancisDarracott
      @FrancisDarracott  Před 6 lety

      I fly with a controller and also take transfer the footage directly from card to laptop.

  • @MikeStarkov
    @MikeStarkov Před 6 lety +46

    Tip #1 is incorrect! Never do this. Dipole antennas work in different way. You should direct the FLAT SIDES of antennas to where the Spark is, but not the tips of antennas as been shown.

    Great content mate! Thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot.
    I feel like lots of raw footage from Spark doesn't look as good as Mavic Pro... but once you do post-edit, it's fairly comparable.
    Still tossing up between Spark and Mavic pro.... ~~~

    • @FrancisDarracott
      @FrancisDarracott  Před 6 lety

      It's tough man! personally I went for the spark because of the price and the size.
      But keep doing some research and figure out whats right for you!
      Hope you enjoy future content dude

  • @timmyilagan
    @timmyilagan Před 6 lety

    Will those settings stay or you have to do it every time you will fly?

  •  Před 6 lety

    I personally live I HK but I saw a photo showing that the spark is selling for 70 USD in either Walmart or target or something similar. I have a spark but want the air because of the d cinelinke profile and 4k 100MBS....

    @kidologist Před 6 lety

    Love your videos, but RE: Tip #1, DJI Store Rep told me the antenna should NOT be straight out... but straight UP so the flat part is facing the drone, as that is where the signal is coming from. I was having issues with image going in and out. Once I changed that, issue vanished. Just FYI. Don't mean to be a critic, but that was important for me to learn. Appreciate your vids!

I’m a photographer n even ive learned some stuff from you to help me with my spark n mavic footage (as i like a say im Photography not video tho i do have loads of ideas but never seem to come off the way I want them,) anyway really good stuff mate keep it up your smashing it and i think you’ll get more subs very soon

  • @HansJelles
    @HansJelles Před 6 lety

    Hi Francis, nice videos and good tutorials. Maybe something to dive in deep, how to pan with the DJI Spark? When I use the left stick to pan the drone the footage always is horrible! Any suggestion? (to see footage I make with the DJI please take a look at my CZcams channel). And keep the humor in your videos it make them stand out!

    • @FrancisDarracott
      @FrancisDarracott  Před 6 lety

      Thank Hans! my only suggestion is too look into frame rate. If uploaded wrong it can skip frames. Which gives it that jumpy feeling. Check out my new video on the spark.
