To know how well your drone could fly is critical to making drone videos. You want to concentrate on what the audience loves to watch from their perspective, so just focus on making those kinds of videos. This will take time in order to know what your audience wants to watch, so just keep making them.
But people are asking the question, now that I've bought a DJI Spark, I want to make videos with it, what do I do with it? I'm going to do my best to help you make better videos with these 5 cool drone tricks.
First Cool Drone Trick - Remote Start 00:32
Imagine your ready to safely launch your DJI Spark but your smartphone is not being used. You may be searching for how to launch your DJI Spark with your remote, and you're in luck!
Simply pull both joysticks simultaneously! Left joystick diagonally down to the left and the right joystick down and to the right. The same way to turn on your Spark is the exact same way you could turn it off.
Second Cool Drone Trick - Circle 2:39
This trick is called "Circle" and it allows you to highlight an area around your subject, press "GO" and the DJI Spark will fly in a perfect circle all on its own. The sensors are facing your subject, so you should only do this in a wide open space like a park or a field.
Third Cool Drone Trick - Dronie 3:05
The "Dronie" trick is basically a selfie video with your drone. It's great for making a small section of land appear bigger and personally, I think it creates a cool looking video. Highlight your subject by touching and dragging your finger across the screen and tap "GO".
A Word of Caution: Your DJI Spark does not have any sensors behind it, so your drone needs a clear path to fly or else it will be at the mercy of tree branches or buildings...lol!
Fourth Cool Drone Trick - Helix 3:51
Just like the circle trick, the "Helix" spirals far away from your subject and will continue to do so until your drone stops all by itself. Use plenty of space when using this trick!
Fifth Cool Drone Trick - Rocket 4:28
This is an awesome trick where the drone locks onto your subject, flies directly over it and then climbs altitude for about 145 feet (44m). This would look great if you are in a clearing in a patch of woods and want the drone fly out of the woods.
First Bonus Drone Trick - Object Detection 1:12
Select sport mode "Off" and your DJI Spark will fly slower but will stop once it comes close to an object like tree branches. When you select sport mode "On", the sensors are turned off and you can fly your DJI Spark at full speed. I've recorded my Spark's top speed at 38mph. Nice!
Second Bonus Drone Trick - Take Videos & Pictures 1:34
Your drone comes equipped with a 1080p camera which is fantastic video quality. Once your drone is in the air, press the video record button on the top left corner. To snap a picture, simply press the camera button at the top right corner.
Third Bonus Drone Trick - Quick Shutoff 5:12
To quickly shut off your drone while it's hovering in the air. Firmly grab it from underneath and rotate it sideways until you hear and see the blades stop spinning.

Thanks bro, exactly the features I was looking for. 💯
Kevin Savage you ROCK! Can’t wait to see your drone vids! 💯
Wasn't aware of the joystick trick allowing you to fly the drone with just the controller, no phone. Awesome, thanks man! ☺
Glad this helped you out Dennis!
The catch-to-turn-off is a nifty trick. I find that approaching the Spark from the back is better because the Spark's front sensor can make it back away from you as you try to approach it with your hand from the front. You should also mention to not come in from under the Spark too because the bottom sensor will make the Spark ascend away from your hand if you try to catch it from below. So coming in from the back is the best for this trick.
I've also started even *launching* the drone from the palm of my hand too! This way, my DJI Spark never touches the ground and doesn't get dirty with dust off dirt or from weeds hitting the blades. I like to "baby" my drones and this little Spark's size is perfect for hand catches & launches. :)
I just found out that some cinematic features are on the active track. thank you for the tips and tricks
They are very user friendly. You're welcome!
Thanks the first one I did not know it could do. I got mine second hand unused for £100 with all the extras. Best thing I’ve brought in years.
I have. a new trick! Turn on the remote first! Like always! 😎
Again huh.. I love spark
You can pull down diagonally to the inside as well as the outside.
Great point! Thanks for noticing!
Good video., just bought a spark ,setup for a maiden, waiting for weather to calm. Cool tricks.
Awesome! You could go LIVE and show people the surrounding neighborhood.
3:22 the way you did dronie and you scratch your nose, I know what you thought 💭 “holly shit is it gonna hit my garage” lol 😂
Edward Tanjaya yepperrr!
The thing I learned - you can start it up without unfolding the props :-) Did not know that...
Yeah, I kinda found out by accident. Haha..
Not recommended. They don't always unfold fully.
Just a quick tip, your antennas are in the wrong position, they signal comes out of the flat side so you want the flat part facing forward while holding the remote
Appreciate the feedback! They face both directions because I fly in both directions. BUT this sounds like a great video idea to test out! Thanks!
@@DroneMaverick yeah no problem
ya can't put both with the flat sides facing away from you ! it is not made that way @@DroneMaverick
one flat side points out, one points in. What is important is that you do not point the tips of the antennas towards the drone, but the broad sides, putting the antennas at 45 degree you are always safe
You can also hit both R1+L1 at the same time to emergency stop the motor with your hand underneath to catch it or when you’re near the ground (to prevent damage from freefall) without having to initiate the entire landing sequence which takes a few seconds.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tip, pls which buttons on the remote control do you call R1 and L1? Thanks
@@manureisdecarvalho Right joystick Left joystick.
@@manureisdecarvalho I haven't been able to successfully shut off my Spark mid-air using the joysticks. You can do this with a Mavic Pro, but not with a DJI Spark.
Wouldn't you need three hands to do that?
I just bought myself a spark and I’m trying to learn so much about it. I can’t wait to start actually recording with it
Awesome! Your going to make some cool videos with your Spark. You could also go LIVE on Facebook or UA-cam!
Check my vids of the spark to see proper cinematic use of it! Hopefully it'll inspire u and make u sub lool.
Please make a video about protecting your Drone from street dogs running after it. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha! Just put really big teeth on it I guess? LOL
The start is okay, but to stop the engine, push the left stick down until it stops!
You said sport mode off enables the obstacle detection sensors. That is not correct. You can turn off obstacle avoidance or turn it on while you are not in sport mode. It is a setting in the sensors from the menu of the DJI app the on a smart phone. Flying with obstacle avoidance turned on in regular mode (not sport mode), the spark fly at about 6 mph, with obstacle avoidance turned off the spark fly at about 12 mph
I knew most of them but it's still a great video. You got my like ; )
May you be blessed with a second bag of kittens! lol...
very cool features.thanks for sharing.
Eric Dawes 👍😎
Just got my spark today! Decided to get the fly more combo as well. Excited to try out some of these tricks! Awesome video!
Excited for you Trent! Got more Spark tutorials on the way that should help you out!
Excited for you man lol. Hopefully my new vids can inspire you to use the spark in a more cinematic way!
Nice and helpful video.. thanks👍
Thanks Mohammed!
yea man great video!! now l know how l can record even when my phone wont link up. that particular thing has been a problem for me in the past... Thanks.!!!!!
Yeah the recording button on the remote was one I found by accident. lol
You didn't video how to do flips and barrel rolls, that's the best tricks of them all.
Nice tutorial bro i just buy dji spark
Such a great drone
Aye to my fellow pinoy lol check my vids out to see the FULL potential of the spark. I hope my vids can make you sub lmao 🔥.
Great review!
Thanks !
Wulfy
You're welcome Wulfy! Appreciate you!
These are not tricks by the way...
You hurt the last feeling I ever had...
@@DroneMaverick Sorry, about that...it wasn't my intention..Truly Sorry. 🙇♂️
Gemster18 was totally laughing it up. I made it up about the feelings. Have a super blessed day!
I loved my Typhoon 4K ,but, this is my first DJI product and I found a Spark flight bundle like yours!! It's also blue and does that mean newer than the white ones or is there a color choice out there?? I don't have a smart phone but I'm going to try y luck with the NEXUS Google Android ipad which looks like an oversize smart phone. If it works, the video should look awesome. I did find there is a Android download option..... Do you think an Ipad would work as well as a phone? I don't think phone has anything to do with it except for internet capability and communicating with the drone. Thanks
What battery? You had slot of flight time ? Mine is like 7 mins only
2nd Amendment about 12 minutes per battery I’ve been getting.
Awesome video, this will help me with my new drone!
You're welcome! Glad you're a part of the drone community!
Yeah just grab, then pick up all your fingers !! should warn people about being careful if hand catching, if will cut fingers !!
I dodnt know the spark had forward sensors on it !
Rock on !
Thanks,
Good review !
Wulfy
Wulf Claw So glad this video helped you! Yes the Spark has forward sensors but when “Sport Mode” has been turned on, the forward sensor is deactivated so the drone can fly up to 30mph. So be careful around objects! 😆
Great video!! Quick and to the point. Thanks for sharing. I just got my spark a couple weeks ago. Still in trading mode for me!!
Appreciate you bro! How's your Spark been flying?
How can you change the altitude to get maximum
Paul Hyde Inside the DJI GO 4 app, click the three little dots in the upper right hand corner, tap the symbol that looks like a drone, scroll down to “Set Maximum Flight Altitude”.
Thanks for the tips, great vid!
Glad the video helped! Thanks!
Great informative video. Subbed. 👍
Thanks! More on the way!
Drone Maverick cheers buddy. Looking forward to seeing them 😊👍✈️
Thanks Bro, that really help me
Noah Wiinblad glad I could help!
Thanks.. helpful man
ABHISHEK PAUL your welcome man!
Thanks for sharing 👍😊
Audio Plus you’re most welcome! 👍
Definitely not tricks more like factory instructions 💯😂🤣
Loool true. Check my spark vids to see actual proper cinematic use of the drone! Hopefully they can make u sub 😁.
Nice video! You've just earned yourself a new subscriber.
Charles Henderson most appreciated!
Thanks broooooooo!!!
Partilha MusiCósmica awesome! So glad the video could help you out! 👊🤠
Your first step doesn't work for me whyis that?
I will make a video of my spark soon and would like to re introduce like what you did here. I’m glad I saw this, great help.
I just have one question bro, if the spark is in video recording and grab it and turn it side ways to stop the motor, will it save in the SD? Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
Jhoem VLOG I believe your Spark will keep recording video after the rotate shut off. Great question! You have great drone footage on your channel!
Hey to a fellow pinoy lol check out my cinematic vids where I actually use the spark PROPERLY. And hey leave a sub if you like my vid 😁.
Stop the video recording before you turn off the spark. It can cause you to have problems if you don't
Great tips. Thanks!
Thanks George E! Happy Flyin!
4 yrs ago I got a trick how about turn the controller on 1st sport
DJI Spark et Eachine SV 100 est ce possible?
Just wondering will it lock on to a ball. I was filming my kids and there freinds having a game of rugby and it was difficult to keep up with play. Just curious to know.
Great question Dan! I've found that the smaller objects are harder for drones to track no matter what drone you buy. That would be a really cool video though! Thanks for asking!
how come your battery works for 15 min?
Mind does to
Haziq Hazazi 3:37 it say 15:48 min and %93 is the capacity to go. Official statement about dji spark battery life is 13 min and I experienced it 13 min... how come your batteries can last almost 17 mins?
Gps mode
No backwards sensors, almost a goner. Nice video
Luxemdrone droning yeah I hear ya on the backwards sensor. Thanks!
That's not tricks, more like tutorial which explains Spark's flight mode.
Let me give one trick :
Using active track trace mode & swipe direction to left / right by 100%, the spark will circle & follow as well when subject moving.
That's cinematic shot.
I just started using this track & orbit mode yesterday. Such a sophisticated maneuver! Even a human pilot would have problems doing this. The one thing I found with this mode is you have to move very slowly. I was riding my bike and when I exceeded even 6mph or so and depending on which phase of the orbit the Spark is, you can easily leave it behind and it will throw an error on screen "subject lost - reacquiring". This flight mode does need some optimizations like to calculate the "velocity vector" of the target and factor that into its flight pattern because its too easy for the Spark to overshoot even a simple target that is moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
@@beyondfossil because when using that mode, spark speed are limited just up to 10 km/h.
I believe we don't get that issue when using better drone like Mavic 2 Pro which has active track 2.0, better flight simulation & prediction..
Lol exactly. Not so much tricks. Check out my new vids and see how to actually get cinematics shots from the spark.
Trick is basic functions every one knows????
Now everyone knows knows
I’m buying the flymore kit for £580 can’t wait
Unboxing Fails Awesome! I'll bet you're going to be the best pilot ever!
Why Is your video so blurry? I'm watching in 1080. Are you filming close to dark?
Probably because some shots were the screen recording from his phone and some are just grainy from how dark he was filming. Anyways check my vids out and sub to see actual cinematic vids of the spark lol 😁🔥.
Would it be possible to fly a drone 15 to 20 feet above a group of people and audio record while standing about the same distance away from the group?
Rumple Stiltskin great question! To legally fly over people you must get a waiver from the FAA.
@@DroneMaverick Okay. Is audio recording from the drone possible, if such permission is granted?
@@rumplestiltskin5036
No!
It is illegal, in every state that I know of, to record a conversation that you are NOT part of. In some states it's illegal to record any part of a conversation EVEN if you are in that conversation.
So please don't put yourself into that kind of legal predicament.
@@JusticeForSome Thank you for the information.
@@JusticeForSome Does not mean that the drone is not capable of audio recording. It's common sense and they will not forbid audio from a drone camera. Anyone anywhere uses an audio device in one way or another that can record. My Typhoon had audio but it sucked as you could hear the props in the background. THAT being said, my guess is that that camera system may be too small to host audio but I could be wrong. All I had to do for my Typhoon is tap audio on or off...... BUT, 4K systems spared no expense either...
Very helpful and simple. Can't wait to start flying.
John Quattrucci stay tuned for more!
That's cool
Amirul, You ROCK!
He doesn't know how to put antennas on the remote
Hey drone on a scale to 1 to 10 how good do you think the spark is??? If you reply u earn a sub btw
For the size and price, 8. LOL see my vids if you want actual cinematic with the spark. Anyways where's my sub? 😂.
10 for the price and the tech. 8 for the video result. 5 for battery life 😅😅
Didn't people say turn on the remote first before the drone itself?
Creeper Gaming 739 very good question. Turning on the drone or the remote first has never been an issue that I’ve found. The two link up as soon as both are turned on.
I think dude was poopn when it did a 360 arpund him u see his posture. Lmao
Excellent video. How do you do those amazing modes? I haven't had my Spark very long and still learning.
Mark Howarth, move the “sport” switch on your DJI remote to your left, tap the “normal mode” icon to the bottom left of your screen, then watch this part of the video: 2:39
Mark congrats on taking to the skies with your new Spark!
Thanks for the advice. I will try it on my next flight
Sorry does this all need controller? Or just even with phone!
STAN Tz you do not need the remote to fly your Spark. The remote is for longer distance and better control. Your Spark will go out about 250’ and then loose the signal.
I don't really recommend the last trick, trust me. HAHA I cut my fingers. Oh well
Rip bros fingys 🙏🏻
1: purchased spark
2: used a few times
3: collects dust
highwaymaintainer lol you just gave me the most ingenious idea for another video. 👊😎
Haha mee to
You need to have a more active outdoors life to really enjoy this thing. Get a bicycle, go jogging, travel, go to a company picnic and wow your co-workers with it. Tip: practice all the "quick shots" shown in this video a few times in different scenarios and know how they work best before making a fool of yourself by crashing the DJI Spark into a tree in front of your co-workers. ;-)
Bruh check out my vids to hopefully get you motivated. The spark can literally make any mundane views look cinematic lol.

3rd commandment much?
Joe Bolling Nope! God is AWESOME!
Drone Maverick
Lol yes, yes he is! I just caught that slip at the beginning and had to call you out on it ;)
Dide, RADIO OS ALWAYS FIRST!! Come on, don't display poor habits that can injure people, and increases the chance of fly away.
😮😮😮😮
It seems some of your videos are not taken with dji spark. dji spark battery life is 13 mins. Your video shows more than 16 min.
all mine are 15-16 min.
I think he is though, the one that shows 16:00 is for the GPS thingy, or how far the drone is from the subject.
DJI spark can fly well over 15 minutes depending on how you fly it and if you are recording the whole time or just hovering not using much power
I have had my spark last 00:17:28 that is the longest flight and it was a cool day low humidity 0 wind and only hovering not moving around there are many factors that play into how long the flight lasts
More than one video stitched together my friend.
👍👍👍👍
🔥👊😎
I live near you west port
Ah, nice! what's your favorite place to eat near Westport? I love the Boathouse in Tiverton!
I really like bar taco and little barn
@@clouds9154 I'll have to check em' out, thanks!
Yep big fan
West port, California?
that’s not a trick first one lol
Thanks for watching the video!
thumbs down
I've got a trick for you,
Brush your hair before putting yourself on UA-cam.
