Dedicated remote control is
The Gesture mode currently only takes photos. Flight time can be as short as 10 to 14 minutes. The app can be frustrating to use
Especially on smaller screens. And you should expect to buy batteries and possibly the optional controller
Battery provides a maximum flight time of 15 minutes
Battery takes a long time to recharge
Drone is small and light enough that it can become unstable in moderate wind conditions
The DJI Spark is the most fun and most capable small drone we've tested. If you're new to drones and just want something that can take photos, some basic video, and is fun to fly, the Spark is perfect. The Mavic Air is comparably portable but much more ex...

The DJI Spark has received a lot of attention thanks to its diminutive size, but how does it stack up? In our review, we take a look at what it's like to fly this pint-sized drone, as well as what's in it for photographers. Between now and the end of the...
The DJI Spark is a great starter drone with a usable camera. It's fun to use and easy to fly. If you need 4K and DNG, don't even look at it, go for the Mavic Pro. If these aren't an issue, you'll love the Spark, but save yourself some pain and get the kit...

Once you get your head round some of these things they quickly become second nature and you're up in the air. I showed you in the video up above how to get the Spark airborne in its hand gesture mode, which takes about a minute, In the video below I show
Short flight time, Smudgy detail in low light, Gestures not always recognised
To some drones have sort of been like what flash photography is to others: a seemingly complex niche of photography that's too daunting to try. But the Spark breaks down this wall. Its ruggedness and simplicity inspires confidence in novices like myself t...

Both the DJI Mavic Pro and DJI Spark are very good drones. If you're a prosumer with some drone flying experience, then go for the Mavic Pro. It'll give you gorgeous 4K footage, plus longer ranger (distance).For all you beginners, go for the DJI Spark. It...
Too many firmware updates, Controller does not fit in travel box
The Spark is affordable at 500 dollars. It offers full HD video and 16 minutes of flight time. The case it comes with could be better, and DJI needs to get its firmware updates under control, but beyond that, the Spark is a good value and the video looks...
