I also have a spark. In my opinion you do not need anything more for taking decent pictures. For videos this one might fall a bit short, but have seen some nice work done in the right person's hands. I quite enjoy mine! Go see some of my (amateur) pics here: http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=202186.msg4233622#msg4233622 (http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=202186.msg4233622#msg4233622)

They have the rules on their website, but I don't think they give you a lecture on rules when buying :)
My motto is: " Don't do stupid stuff and you will be fine" Have not seen any drone police around. ;D
Post by: Archangel on April 08, 2019, 03:02:29 pm
I honestly had no idea that you're not supposed to fly the drone outside line of sight. Only found some of the regulations after being "informed" by concerned citizens. ;D

Ek het so paar van daai oomblikke gehad. My vrou loop deesdae sommer weg as ek die ding vlieg, haar senuwees hou dit nie. :biggrin:
Ander waarskuwing, as die wind kwaai waai, hou maar daai drone op die grond. Myne so amper verloor, gelukkig het ek hom teruggekry met so zig zag terugvlug wat die battery se lewe baie vinnig getap het. Direk in die wind in waai hy net weg van jou af. :eek7:

As Fuzzy said, be careful guys and gals. Have fun, but don’t fly within 50m of people or buildings, on private land, above 500ft AGL, beyond line of sight, have VHF radio (for which you need a restricted radio Licence for yourself, and a Licence for the radio itself) and and and and and :deal:

Ek het al gedink dit sal nice wees om elke dorp waardeur ek ry se kerke so af te neem, mag dalk net bietie aanstoot kry van sommige van die inwonders. Behoort nie te veel van 'n probleem te wees as jy stilhou, opstyg, fotos neem, land, en rockoff nog voor iemand agterkom wat aan die gang is nie! >:D

I monitor the Eskom Tender Bulletins, they were investigating using Drones instead of Helicopters to monitor Powerline condition, they are now looking for someone to set up a facility to test the drones. I am guessing that they don't want to use the Drones and find out that the magnetic fields around the Powerlines screws up the control or directional systems on the drones? :biggrin:

@Captain Zef, your compositions are spot on. I always think I get it right, but when I have a look at my photos afterwards I am disappointed.
I assume there is some editing done on your photos afterwards? What tools do you use?

As a short description of how i shoot.
I always shoot RAW mode. This lets me focus my attention on composition.
Then i take plenty of photos from different angles trying to stick to the Thirds rule.
When i get back home i use Adobe Lightroom. The 10 USD per month subscription is worth it for me.
I adjust my photos to look like the way i saw it. I try to not go to crazy with colors. I do however boost most of the clouds.
I generally auto correct white points and black points.
Then i crop the photo if needed to correct for the Thirds rule.
Then i turn down exposure slightly because i over expose all my photos.
I play with shadows and highlights.
Then i add a little saturation.
If i need to i do Noise reduction.
After that i add a little bit of dark vignette.
Then i add my watermark and thats it.
Most of my photos i do this way.
Sometimes i do a high contrast black and white photo.

Enige advies oor ligter of donker sal waardeer word. Sodra ek hom ligter maak dan verloor ek die mooiheid van die son. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190601/a95e00f46475e584b1fc153a68314a1a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190601/7722080be75b64fad50a7cd0a0ae7d0b.jpg)

Neewat ek dink jou exposure is goed genoeg. Jy kan n filter van onder na bo optrek in lightroom om n bietjie skadu detail terug te wen maar tog is die foto in my mening realisties en gebalanseerd.

HDR Maartin or dit you just turn the saturation to max? Some may like it, but too me it's a tad too busy.
I would like it in more natural tones, but that's just me. Awesome scenery and great composition though!!

There was lekker snow forecast for this past friday, so I did a quick overnighter in the 4x4 ;
Ceres, Tankwa Padstal, Katbakkies, Oasis, stayed over at Sanddrif and came back via Algeria and back road to Citrusdal.
There was no snow:/
Just as we came down Uitkyk Pass; we headed into a cloud.
The cloud closed in too quickly to get that money shot.. and the turbulence was quite heavy for the Spark, but I tried anyway

I know the feeling, lost mine 2 weeks ago in a gorge in the former Transkei. According to the locals a Fish Eagle attached the damn thing and it went down. According to the locals it is a full days hike into that area. I had a R1 000 reward out in recovery of the drone, but no success. Luckily I am insured. :eek7:

Oh no! My worst nightmare. What happened @Captain Zef?
Post by: BossPierreLombard on June 30, 2019, 08:29:11 pm
Last year I lost my Garmin Montana ( hopped out the Tourtech mount - a piece of string would have saved me on that one ) in the Anyberg Reserve.
Then just before Seweweekspoort Pass I noticed my Gopro mount broke - the mount stayed but the gopro left.
I was sad when the gps was gone, and after the Gopro left = freedom; just me on the bike with no worries of batteries and recording.
Now with a SPARK - i find it’s a whole lot more effort.
Pack it safely and securely. Then stop, unpack, lift off - record- land, pack up - ride on.
But with effort comes reward..

Did your insurance pay out with the fish eagle?
I lost my Mavic last year in the ocean chasing whales, insurance entertained the claim until they found it was airborne, then refused it due to all the small print... Only insured if on the ground/theft etc.
When I first got mavic I chatted to operator and other brokers and none where prepared to ensure during flight unless you had a RPL. Also none prepared to provide any liability cover.
Post by: Captain Zef on July 01, 2019, 11:38:50 am
Thats exactly why i did not even bother with flight insurance.
Post by: Captain Zef on July 01, 2019, 11:42:52 am
Anyway its lost boys. I went back to the location after tracking it. Its very high above any road or path on a steep section. You will need to be pretty fit and handy with ropes to recover that bastard.
For now i will see all my Mavic parts. I will buy a Mavic Pro 2 when i get some more US Dollars.

Quote from: Captain Zef on July 01, 2019, 11:42:52 am
I was very tempted to buy an M2pro when I lost mine, but had extra M1 batteries etc, and money was a little tight, so R16k got a refurb Mavic 1 with extra battery, so now have 3 batteries with those I already had, instead of R37k for an M2pro with spare batteries.
Yes I sometimes miss the extra dynamic range on the photos. But apparently video can be quite complex to work with on M2Pro, h.265 needs much more processing power than h.264 (which my i7/1060 barely copes with in editing) and some odd video resolutions, either crops to centre 12MP of sensor for 'HQ' mode with a cropped sensor zoom effect, or full wide angle but looses sharpness as the algorithm to assign odd number pixels from the full sensor to 4K looses some sharpness.
That said, if I had the $$ I'd still like to spend it on M2... Drones are like bikes, you can never have too many
Post by: Captain Zef on July 01, 2019, 12:28:23 pm
There is no way i am paying R37k for a MPro 2.
Wait a little while i will buy it for R15k in the states.

Ek was aleen daar, het by C5 by die vuur gesit meeste van die tyd nadat ek die middag Truitjieskraal gaan plat loop het.
Eselbank pad is great, die hele area kort net water, nie een van die normale stroompies loop nie, end die Eselbank waterval loop ook maar effe.
Sal weer so oor 'n maand gaan kyk of daar al bietjie maar water is.
Clanwilliam Dam is net so naar leeg, end die rivier loop, maar nie baie sterk nie.
Edit: As jy weer gaan, maak plan om by Wupperthal langs die Tra-Tra rivier so ent in te ry, dit is besonders mooi, veral wanneer die blomme begin.
Daar kan wel 'n paar water crossings wees, en die pad loop dood so mens moet genoeg tyd en brandstof beplan om in, en uit te kan ry.
Baie lekker 4x4 trip vir die gesin vir 'n piekniek langs die rivier.

Tussen Fraserburg en Leeu Gamka.
Tyd was beperk daarom is sommige fotos donkerder as ander.
Daar is net een kleur en dis droogte.
Res van foto's moet nog resize word. A180(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190825/5f9972b0c232b104a3c8be0170ba9e82.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190825/353d45f80e17b295085ca50c30eab13e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190825/a9281342f6f57aee9efa080cbb359377.jpg)

Canola looking good at the moment.
Interesting that the part under irrigation is less dense than the part outside that area.

A foldable Spark, where a Spark will not be much worse.
You had a Pro, you will not be satisfied with the Mini.
But... if you do get one, another WD will get a good deal on a barely used Mini soon.
If it were me, i would wait till early next year to see what else pops out, but then again I am on a budget...

I just printed this photo at A1 and its from a Spark. Print looks amazing. Just letting you boys know.
Post by: shark_za on October 31, 2019, 08:12:48 am
It looks to have a lot more flight time than the spark as well as a 3-axis gimbal. Id take it over a Spark anyday.
It wont replace my Mavic Air though; costs more like Spark than Air though.

Maximum 30mins flight time. I get about 12mins out of my Spark. Like the idea of the 3-axis gimbal. Probably won't be able to afford one though... :'(

I got mine on Thursday last week so haven’t had the time to properly test it, but I’ve flown it a couple of times and took it with on a day trip through the Piket-bo-berg trails this weekend. I’m very impressed obviously by the weight and size of the drone, but also the image and video quality is very good. I own a Phantom 4 and cannot differentiate between the picture quality.
So yes, really nice to have as a backup drone and to take with on travels.
I’ll share some more pics soon!

Its the same as the Air, its WiFi not occusync.
So realistically up to about 2km in most areas.
No collision sensors but the longest runtime of over 28 minutes in reality.
Zero control over the camera is the only issue.

The controller is a WiFi booster of sorts. You must be talking of directly from the phone. I got over 1300m with my Air and have not pushed further.
I bought a new dirtbike so wont be buying this Mini for xmas sadly.

No that was from the controller. Never used the phone to fly.
Check out the link i posted above..... the guy had the same problem.
I think they imporved the Air wifi over the spark wifi.
Post by: danielsaaiman on November 19, 2019, 11:14:58 am
Mavic Mini range test: smooth signal until about 1km, bad signal & transmission after 1.3km, got really bad at 1.4km so decided to turn around.
In my opinion this is very good for a tiny wifi drone.
