DJI Spark Gestures tutorial with start/stop video recording

[@photorectoby]

What additional gestures would you like to see added? Have you found them to work well? Buy the DJI Spark: bhpho.to/2h43dkl Fly more(recommended): bhpho.to/2xBkRTp Buy the Romoss Charger for the DJI Spark: amzn.to/2jZZ5Tt

being able to do orbit and helix with gestures would be great.

[@imtiazsifat2682]

Dji spark controller combo--349 us dollar....is it the cheapest deal in market now??

[@SparkyTime2.0]

It so funny the way you pretended to jog😂

[@Artem_Shipov]

Bought Spark about couple of months ago. Flied a couple of times with mobile control. Very happy 😁

[@freedysessions1021]

Bought my Spark just last week...Haven't tried gesture control yet. There are many youtube videos in regard to "Spark Gesture Control" control function. This is the best one yet! Thank you.

[@mozempire5096]

THANK YOU for showing actual hand gesture footage. So many vids show the gestures, but not what the camera sees. Great video, most informative. Again, many thanks!

[@0HARE]

Thanks for a great video. I really enjoyed it, and learned from it. This is the best video tutorial of hand gestures that I have been able to find. I especially admire your use of an audio recorder on your lapel, and how you put it together seamlessly with the video in post production. Well done. Up & Away

[@photorectoby]

Thanks so much - I really appreciate that. Have you been enjoying the Spark?

[@MrJefferson105]

Best tutorial I have seen very professional and easy to follow.

[@BansheeFifteen]

Thanks for the video. I've had about an eight month hiatus with my Spark and I've had to relearn just the basics. Your video has helped.

[@woesteloepi.]

I just noticed your video now in 2018 and it is realy good. Clear instructions! Realy usefull, thx

[@eval_is_evil]

I love my Spark,have it for a year now. Fly More Combo. No problems with it whatsoever. No flyaways,no crashes

[@JTNorton]

Very well done video ... no rambling or over talking love it.

[@ducter2001]

Beautifully shot video & audio & a very informative for a beginner.. Never knew 'bout the 2 taps on power button to launch from palm.

[@photorectoby]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@DigitalNinja3]

Best DJI Spark Gesture explanations on KZbin. Hands down (pun intended).

[@keithtweedie8484]

Terrific video now I can use the darn thing, have viewed it a dozen times. Thank you

[@ZdenkaDarula]

very nicely explained.. yes you are right I am quite nervous to take it out of the box and take it first time for a flight... so thank you for this tutorial... very detailed and nicely shown.. .

[@evanshearin6490]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been trying for an hour to find footage of a spark backing up while shooting video. No one else seems to have tested that, and I specifically want a drone to shoot some walk-and-talk footage, among other shots.

[@TechOverWatch]

Okay am buying this drone. Thanks for the informative gesture review.

[@dgronzega8073]

Thanks for the vid. Very good. I've had my spark for 3yrs now and want to make use of the selfie hand controls.

[@humpgearbackpacking828]

Great video ! I got my Spark few days ago, and this tutorial really helps me understanding the secret of gesture mode... thanx !!!

[@DjSimplyE]

Wow! Brilliant video. I just got mine and I’m gradually learning and this video is the best by far!

[@madeinengland4910]

Way cool I love my spark just bought another..did not know or hadn't triad hand gesture I'm a musician make my own vids..using gesture I will be able to film 2 different band angles and crazy circling fx..brilliant ace vid..

[@ShohruhSaidkarimov]

A huge thanks from the new Spark owner Sir 🙌🏻🙋🏻‍♂️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lismorris5370]

I've been struggling to figure out gesture mode myself, and this video was really helpful! I've realised I was waving my arm, rather than my hand- which is why I couldn't get that gesture to work! Further to your last part about the battery pack, I thought I'd just add that I have a Ravpower 13400 charger with quickcharge technology also works with my drone. I think you need that extra power from a quickcharge powerpack to make them work. I agree, it's really useful to be able to charge my drone on the go-especially since I have a solar charger to charge the powerpack! My drone flies using the power of the sun :D

[@jessicaqin7049]

The gesture commands are insane!! Considering buying one. The power bank in the end also looks good.

[@photorectoby]

It's pretty neat how they all work.

[@RichardBorrowsPhotography]

So helpful! I just bought my Spark and these gestures will come in handy! I'm going horseback riding tomorrow so this will help out a lot! Thanks!

[@WMrFamous]

Come in "handy", :)

[@bullybird1]

Thanks for the info. I did not realize in video mode you had to be close. Now I know. It’s more clear after watching this. THANKS!

[@lienchen12]

thanks sir love your tutorial

[@Bill97070]

Thanks for the very helpful tutorial.

[@Northerngulf]

Sorry, late to the party here, but I agree about this being the best gesture video on KZbin. Question, when you wave it off, is there a set distance it'll go? I worry about objects any time it backs up, especially if I don't have a controller in my hand.

[@photorectoby]

Great question! The manual says 3 meters away and 2.3 meters above the ground.

[@chrisbry2007]

Finally, Gesture control 101. Thanks for the video, it sorted out why I failed.

[@josegonzaloditchingssvp]

Exactly the video i am looking for

[@welcometoopa]

Thanks for the great tutorial, It was fun to see some spark action!

[@Bill97070]

II just received my Spark two days ago and still having problems getting it to respond. Nicely done audio and videos for the DJI Spark tutorial, that is a big help. I'm so curious on how you connect the audio to the video. I know on my GoPro, I can use a mic wire connected to it. So, it must be a Bluetooth transmitter that you are wearing with a mic that connects to your camera. Could you explain your setup and any links of benefit to you. Thanks

[@RickDolishny]

Thank you. This was the best demo of these feature.

[@useittube]

Great stuff! As always, very useful information and well presented. This thing is getting a bump on the wish list.

[@RobbyRCPROBE]

Although its brushless I like the Spark. Thanks for the sound and clear explanations. Cheers.

[@ASHLEYGUILLAUME]

This was an amazing video!!! I learned so much and it makes me more excited to get my DJI Spark. but does the Spark also record audio?

[@photorectoby]

The Spark does not record audio. You need a separate device to do that. You could go with something cheap like bhpho.to/2roZqAu

[@YouTubeAreCommunistScum]

Yes it can record audio from ur phones microphone if u use that as the controller. Don’t buy that dumb device he listed. If u attached that dumb device to ur drone it would reduce battery life and all u would get is propeller noises

[@elteccamartinez3957]

This is amazing I can't wait to do this

[@countleppe5774]

It is Nearly 7 Years Now Since Your Review On This Little Magical Drone,( Light Years Ahead Of Time) . I Have Given My Spark To My Mechanic For His Family To Use So They Can Enjoy It. They Wanted The Gesture Mode, Obstacle Avoidance Front And The Lights On The Feet To See It In Gloomy Conditions. I Have Obtained New Spark ( Meadow Green ) Combo Package. It Has Been In It's Box Sealed For 6 Years. Have Updated The Drone, Controller, And Activated It, All Working Well. Price Paid $ 225.00. PS. Where Does All This Time Go, I Hope You Are Ok.

[@rainraizo]

Thanks for the easy, helpful, short-simple instructions, keep it up bro, two thumbsup 👍👍

[@kerybsk.4960]

Thank you,, finally its work for me

[@BCLighthouseKeeper]

This is such a great video and shows everything clear and concise. I am wondering tho, what are you using for recording your audio. Your mic can be seen but what else are you using to capture the audio? I believe the go fly app can also record audio when you are flying but when you are using the palm launch and gesture control you are not using the app. Any insight would be awesome. Thanks.

[@batzbrown7070]

thanks for the tips, if really helpful

[@dieandromeda]

thumbs up. rly easy to follow, better than official tutorial. :)

[@antoilbello]

Amazingly done mate and great background music too. Thanks.

[@XJarhead360]

You forgot to mention that you have to activate gesture control first on the DJI4 app.

[@photorectoby]

Thanks for that.

[@carlamoore9433]

[@UmerAshfaq]

wowowow i buy next week

[@Harta23]

Hello dear friend Good morning 💓🌄 Gretting from Macau China New fan here Full watching and suport

[@hu55a1nm]

Nice review thanks

[@MannyCAM]

Great review! Thanks for posting. I will give the video feature a try.

[@andrewstar9904]

Thanks a lot for this very informative video. Good explanation you did there. I will try them out.

[@MikeWeiner]

Great video! I've been soaking up Spark videos ever since I got mine but how you explained and demonstrated everything was perfect! And I bought a charger from your link...even got $1.75 promo discount. I'll take it! 😄 Liked and Subscribed, too ✌

[@photorectoby]

Awesome Mike - Thanks and enjoy your Spark- they are great!

[@craigme2583]

Such a great drone

[@reggio565]

Awesome video like always

[@jeremydallen]

At 4:37 i spit my drink out.... lol Informative video.

[@olmecST]

jeremy allen Looks and moves like Conan O’Brien dancing Lol

[@mrIMITATION38]

GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU!

[@Jeremywm]

Thanks for this! Good info. I've heard mixed reviews from friends about how well the gestures work.

[@photorectoby]

I think it has lots to do with how carefully you read the directions. When I just glanced at them I thought I knew everything I needed to get it to work but re-reading and making sure you are doing exactly as requested and they seem to work fairly reliably.

[@MannyCAM]

PhotoRec TV : Agreed! So many of us are guilty of that. RTFI (read the f***ing instructions)

[@GoProGoalieUzi]

When its following you, can a second person be there as well? For example at the beach with your wife and you want to video a nice walk?

[@s04Ker]

Best tutor video ever....thx

[@dreys6tube]

Once you wave the Spark to go away, is the distance and height set fixed or can it be customized in the settings? And nice video btw, thank you)

[@schindlersadventures5354]

Wow I have to try this. Still quite nervous 😁

[@theadhdbiker6493]

This is going to help me with my mtb riding footage. 1 question.. when it's close to you will it still follow you if you turn around and walk away? Thanks.

[@photorectoby]

Yes it will. You may want to consider a newer drone like the mini 3 pro or if the follow capabilities are the most important thing you should check out the Skydio.

[@theadhdbiker6493]

I have a spark too and want to use it more for the mtb footage. Have you had much luck?

[@jmizoguchi]

Nice video... Questions. I have ever done using spark on the boat , kayak with gestures?

[@cubano855]

Thanks, I'm getting ready to take Spark abroad for selfies and I'd like to use hand gestures but I had zero luck getting it to start recording. Your tip to have it close and then send ti far away seems very good, I'll try that ASAP. Also, do you know if Spark will adjust altitude in active track? I plan on going to the mountains, so I'd like to be able to go up and down.

[@michaelmarino6808]

Excellent. As DJI upgrades features, the videos become a bit dated. Thanks for this, got me up to date with the video mode.

[@21N42Photo]

Excellent video

[@photorectoby]

Thanks!

[@johnpratt496]

Thank you sir, well done

[@mary77773]

Love this video! Thanks 😊

[@youtubeuser9806]

What a cool video that was... awesome

[@klevrah]

Awesome info bro

[@MrCopyrat]

very good explanation, Thanks a lot

[@KhaosOfficialYT]

So confusing, howd u record the tutorial if you just started recording near the end

[@summersmith7924]

I died when you start jogging. XD

[@johnceena9799]

Rest In Peace

[@davidewart5476]

Hi good video... Just wanted to know if you can change the mode of flight from gesture to remote or visa versa when in flight.

[@Riamo89]

actually helpful

[@photorectoby]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@JimmySaavedraB]

Great video, very professional, thanks.

[@MySpartagus]

Thank you😊

[@photorectoby]

You're welcome 😊

[@rine303]

now i want it

[@EthanBerkey]

Does the Spark approach and leave you according to the time length that you hold up your arms or wave it away? If so, I'm thinking this feature is not as much about taking selfies than it is providing a simple way to re-position the drone convenient to a shot. Maybe its both, but being able to manipulate the Spark this way rather than having to use a phone or remote is awfully convenient.

[@tumlum1027]

I am a newbie. Can you help me in detail how to set it up by control with the hand? Also as hand control. Where do you hide the control? Thanks

[@GoProGoalieUzi]

Can you use hand gestures right out of the box once it’s charged? What about calibration, needed? Thx buddy

[@chrisguzman4567]

Add some crash sensor

[@angkolkusgan]

If we used this command, is it already recording while?

[@sijubahmerah]

Is it still need to calibrate the drone before take off?

[@maxflight777]

Concise and well presented

[@jorgemedrano4625]

Excelent new feature! Thank You!

[@koenvdz9459]

What happens when the battery is low when you are in gesture control ? Where will it land ? Near where you hand launched it, or its home point from the previous flight ?

[@EastCoastATV]

Great tips, thanks!

[@lenovotab1808]

very informative video very nice

[@justinsoh88]

Can you take a selfie when the drone just lifted when it is about lesser than 1 meter in front of you? Can you hold your palm to make it stationary at 1 point, and you release your palm, and you walk backwards, and you do a selfie gesture, will it then take a picture?

[@pajarilloalistaire5087]

Really helpful guid

[@TheMrRafaelB]

Thanks for the nice tutorial. How can I activate the shallow focus?

[@ty.Tibor123]

Fantastic video.

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

Did it take the selfie photos ok? Another reviewer says the lights do what they are supposed to do but no pictures taken?

[@goofffie]

very clear and helpfull thank you

[@TheEdgeGwapo]

Cool informative video. Does it have fly around or point of interest?

[@HackThePlanetNow]

Edge it does but you need to use the app for that. No gesture for that

[@SergioGildeArana]

Hi. Good review for Mavic. But I have a question. Wich is your mic? It´s amazing

[@user-qw3gz8xp7m]

Good video , And I have some question. If I do V shape moment on gesture mode and the spark no return , How can I do? , Thanks.

[@quochuy-chaienotofun738]

What’s happen when the drone lost the object? hold still and hover? right?

[@MichaeldeRaaff]

Great video. Thanks

[@billclay7957]

HAVE PURCHASED BRAND NEW DJI SPARK WHITE COMBO. AT A VERY GOOD PRICE.( REASON) NEW DRONE REGULATIONS IN THE UK 2021 AND IT HAS THAT( MAGICAL GESTURE MODE) HANDS FREE FLYING (CLEVER.) I JUST USE IT LIKE OLD FASHIONED HELICOPTER. TECHNOLOGY MOVES ON BUT FEATURES CAN BE OMITTED. THIS SPARK STAYS WITH ME. HAPPY FLYING FOLKS

[@martonlato9424]

Hey, great video, thank you! I just got my spark and i wondered, can you comand it to fly in a circle around you? Thanks in advance

[@photorectoby]

There are intelligent flight modes - like orbit - that will do what you want.

[@martonlato9424]

ohh, thanks, i'll check out the app a little deeper then :)
