Practicing some Gesture Control with my drone, wearing my Team Malaysia Shirt!

The DJI spark has many features and, considering the price you are paying, I think it is the most complete drone in the market for newbies who are just immersing in the drone market.

One of these cool features is that you can control your drone with the palm of your hand or by making some signals.


Click on the image, it is a DTube video!

You can make it follow you from behind, front-run you (yeah, like a vote), surround you, go up or down and even land! I am amazed with how much you can accomplish with these aircraft and I can´t wait to try it out for one of my travel posts - that will be until I have complete control over it and I get my license.

But so far, the practice is going great and I´m getting to know this little fella which, by the looks of it, will be my best new companion.

There shouldn´t be any problems, but if you can´t watch the DTube version, here is the other red sub-tier version of it:

Sir @anomadsoul I just stopped watching your video after 30 secs.. hahaha you know why? 'coz I felt pity to myself and jealous.. Dont you know that drone is what I'm dreaming for since long time and I wish someone will give me as a gift hahaha.

Lol I get you man, since they came out a few years ago I wanted one, it was only thanks to the SBD pump and a lot of my family members pitching in some birthday money that I was able to get one. It is awesome, you should watch the full vid, i promise more videos and pictures will come in the future :D

hahahaha sir please have mercy on me., last time you also posted your video playing your new drone just a few days ago, I'm praying that I will win some sbds so I can buy one. But the only I can afford is the Syma X5SC but the camera Im not so sure that might be balck and white LOL. And the DJI sparks has its 12MP at 1080p video stabilization with 1/2.3 inches CMOS sensor that means the effective pixel area is higher than iPhone 7 WOW!!.

Sir if you don't need that anymore or if you will have your new one just tell me I'll take that old one without any doubt. My birth day is on April 11 haha kidding sir.
Looking forward to some of your drone captures/videos.

Awesome, drones help my first ever experience with a drone was at the experience festival in Lagos Nigeria there where so many people and I wanted an overview shot so my friend suggested we use his drone, funny enough it almost got lost or far from us to many people where there so we were loosing connection at the end we got it the shots where awesome so many wonderful things u can do with them

Even deliver pizza

The t-shirt are nice Ur not that far though

There was this funny moment a few years ago where in a medieval festival, some guy had his drone flying around and a dude dressed as militia man throwed a spear to the drone and took it down. The drone broke and the spear man payed for the damages, but on the next year, they started to dress drones as dragons and started a competition of "dragon hunting".

Funny how something like that can come up from some guy doing something crazy haha

Lol ecen pizza, I love this stories man.

Dragon hunting, lmao that really funny, am working hard to get mine as a photographer

Would be so nice taking it for journeys

Take some shots from the seven wonders of the earth

Another great technology have seen is camera 360, omg it's so dope it's a must get

Check it out on YouTube

Great video! I've actually been doing some research on drones, as I want one to spice up the content I can capture for my climbing related posts. Thanks for you sharing your opinion on the Spark -- it's definitely on my radar. Good to see that the image quality is actually really nice as well! Looks super intuitive to control. I might have to get this one!

Hey man, @juanmiguelsalas did a post specifically about the legal implications of buying a drone, perhaps it will be useful for you.
The mavic is too expensive and the GoPro one is too big and hard to transport, i find the spark the best because of price, features and portability. The hand control takes practice, I never played kinect or things like that so im not used to this kind of control, but hey, practice makes the master right? Thanks for dropping by mate!

btw, has your username something to do with Matt stafford? Or that your real name? haha

Ooo I'll definitely check out the post by @juanmiguelsalas re: legal issues. I know there's a few signs around where I live saying that it's a "No Drone Zone" because of the float planes that fly into the harbour. Definitely a good thing to keep in mind, and I don't want to get myself in trouble.

Nothing to do with Matt Stafford, but I will admit to being named Mark Stafford.

Hey my brother! I passed the links to @mstafford :)
Did not knew you wanted to buy a Spark, saw a lot of videos about it when was making the research about the Mavic. So far so good eh?

Yeah man! I have it since late december but this one was my third flight attempt. So many legal implications and even though Im in Mexico and law is not that harsh, I have to get that license soon or I´ll end up in trouble :P

I definitely love the spark, the mavic was awesome but the fly more combo was too much money for me. Portability in the Mavic and features makes it the best, but it is too much money man, its like 4 months traveling in Asia if you ask me haha

its like 4 months traveling in Asia if you ask me

Oh wow!, it is, maybe, one month living normally without any luxus in Berlin :(

I will get the Mavic finally, I need it because of the video quality. You know, here 4K is a must if you work in a professional enviroment. I will be posting when I buy it finally all the process to get the license and all the paper, curse and so on. Will be fun, maybe, more than fly the drone hahahahahaha XD ;)

I actually just saw a video review yesterday for a new DJI drone -- the Mavic Air. It looks really awesome, and folds up almost smaller than the Spark. Shoots 4k as well!

Oh oh!!! I think this is the one!!!!!! I am seeing it now :D

Take a look here ;) Because of you I was the complete night researching XD You need to be careful with what you say hahahahahaha https://steemit.com/life/@juanmiguelsalas/i-m-going-to-buy-a-drone-there-is-a-new-kid-on-the-block-the-dji-mavic-air

Not long ago Hollywood was paying high dollars to get smooth cam shots like you did here with your drone. This is transformative technology, and so affordable.

Oh whaaaat I didn't even have to go looking for the info on my own? Too easy!

Thanks! I'm certain they will be!

hahahaha you just commented on the right profile´s post ;)

The beauty of the blockchain, now make sure to follow Juan Miguel! Lol

what a great video.. keep it up

Wow... I wish i could get one of those... Its amazing how technology is really going haywire.

Its will cost a million buck in Nigeria.

Oh man i get your feeling, I only got it because all my family pitched in some birthday money to buy it. It is awesome, I will try to bring a lot of cool pictures and videos so you can watch them and enjoy them a bit :D

Okay... Gracias... Hope u said it well

control your drone with the palm of your hand, quite a great feature
resteeming it nice post keep rocking 👍👍👍👍

Thank you for the resteem! It is amazing to be able to control it like that. I don´t know if technology has gone too far this time haha :D

That is absolutely incredible. I had no idea they have become so advanced. I WANT ONE.

The drone will be sweet and awesome to use, the use is simplified and easy, it's really sweet, I'LL definitely love to have one someday, thank you for sharing.

Really amazing!!!
Technology knows no bounds and has no limit to it's innovatory feats

great post, like tish post, thanks for sharing

Wow! Unbelievable! I really have not seen this type before. Kudos to science; Thanks for sharing.

That looks pretty cool, I wonder how much that one costed :D

I enjoyed your video, I want a drone now ;)

nice video :)!

OMG! I want that thing so much right now 😍 😍 😍
Also, love the humor! (And your one pack) 😂

Great video! I've got a Drone to but I'm pretty scared to mess it up, your looking good brother!❤️

Con la atención que lo sigue tu perro! jajaja me encantó.

Wow wonderful, the drone is pretty cool

LoL ... For a bit you feel like you had the force !!!! Awesome stuff man . And that epic #teammalaysia t-shirt 😀 😀😀😀 btw ... DJI just released DJI Mavic Air. Amazing piece of machine ...

Hey it is the #teammalaysia shirt! Haha I spot it out because I just got mine too. Hehe. Good tryout on the drone! :) My student got really hooked up with it after his first try. I'm pretty sure any guy who loves it will really LOVEEEE it too.

los dji cada vez mejoran y con sensores evitan choques con objetos firmes

your post @anomadsoul is very good and very useful for visitors and readers ... continue to work

DJI is really easy to control since I am a beginner. The more videos we make the more confident we get to take it to the next step. Nice moves enjoy the drone.

I think this is totally awesome! I'm not a techie, but do you use sensors to move them or brainwave? I stumbled across some cool stuff using brainwave to move a toy car, will be sharing it soon.

wow that must be very interesting...

Cool drone. I didn't know that gesture control is that serious yet. Really nice!

A mi me llega el lunes el Dji Mavic Pro... se me esta haciendo el fin de semana eterno!!! Jajajajaja
Un saludo desde España ;)

Crazy. Wish my Phantom 3 did that :)

I still simply enjoy using the controls though! The only time my drone hit a tree is by some following function which made it fly backwards - and it has no sensors at the backside, so sad!

nice I use the mavic pro I know it has a follow feature but I havent tried it yet. I am still working on getting better at flying for videos. LOL dont worry about getting fat most of use gain some weight as we get older. I did :)

Looks good @anomadsoul, it seems that you are already experienced in flying drones!👍 😎

hello if you like good videos check out my channel .... cheers! thank you all!
