Spark must be better than the ember

Spark Series

We want better results than the freefly ember in weight wise and cost wise also in the dynamic range and raw files also please let us know when it will be released so we can use it on FPV drone to make really crazy stuff

Yeah, I’m really hoping the dyanmic range can be in the 13 to 14 stop range. Right now the Chronos I have is barely 10 stops I think. I think the Ember is 11-12 stops.

I’ve seen the Spark in NAB, and its weight won’t be lighter than the Ember. This is because Spark includes many professional interfaces, a built-in screen, and other components, which are determined by the design philosophy of the two cameras. I believe its weight will be closer to that of the Komodo-X, which seems more reasonable.

Completely agree, I won’t be getting the unit if it is just an ember competitor, we need cine raw output, proress 422 is not good enogh for professional work, if you need a list of the outputs provided buy phantom series let me know, I have the PhantomGold2k so can easily send a screen shot, i dont use most outputs as the cine raw is clearly the best.

It would be pretty cool if you could pull media during operation vie ethernet, and adjustable triggering (end trigger, mid trigger) and make CRS (black callabration super clear) i think freefly completely missed the point of CRS in the first place, this made it an expensive hobby cam rather then a usable tool. Also a personally preferred tool would be to take stills like the blackmagic 6k pro it saves alot of time if i want to do a creative stopmotion to highspeed shot.

Additional,  it would be great if you can shoot down to 24fps too but only if the raw features are there, this isnt a deal-breaker,  it would just be useful.

Thank you for your suggestions! There are a couple of questions I’d like to discuss further:

  1. I remember that Freefly doesn’t support black calibration. Have you encountered any noticeable image issues when using Freefly?
  2. Could you let me know what specific scenarios you mainly use still image capture for?

Thank you so much!
