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
But before you spend any money, consider your mission. Are you a beginner, looking to get a first drone that works dependably well for most purposes? The Spark’s a great choice. Are you a long-time Phantom owner, looking for something more portable? The S...

Abstract: To find the best drone for you, first you'll need to figure out what it is you want out of a flying camera. Are you an action sports junkie trying to capture your sick moves for a highlight reel? An aspiring cinematographer aiming to up your production va...

The Spark is DJI's smallest and most affordable drone to date, opening-up truly new angles and possibilities to photographers who've previously never owned a flying camera. The flight time is on the short side, but not too brief to get a few great shots...

In many ways, DJI is in the same position GoPro was 3-4 years ago. A point where as a company each and every new product release wowed not just regular consumers, but also techies. A given product need not necessarily be what a devout geek would buy, but...

Small and portable, Easy to fly, Stable, clear video, Autonomous flight modes
Still expensive for most, Gesture controls not always recognized, No 4K video
DJI is not some fly-by-night drone maker, and the Spark is yet another great flier in the company’s hangar. However, the Spark is not going to inspire some revolution in drone-based photography by the masses. While small and easy to fly, it’s not cheap en...

Abstract: DJI's Spark is the company's first attempt at a true drone for everyone. DJI has made no secret about the fact it thinks non-RC enthusiasts want a lightweight, compact quadcopter that's easy to control. That's exactly what the Spark is. But after spendin...
