The Spark is a bit of a mishmash. On the one hand, it's a highly capable drone capable of capturing top-quality aerial video and photos. It flies well, it's packed with features and it's incredibly compact for a drone that packs in so many serious feature...

If DJI can iron out a few of the kinks around the object detection for gesture control, the DJI Spark could be the perfect first advanced drone for those looking to start out. Flying it as simple and intuitive as DJI's more expensive drones, and the photo...
Excellent auto-flying modes, Incredibly small and light, Crisp and colourful HD video, Manual options for levelling up
Battery life means you need spares, Noisy at low altitude, Expensive, particularly in the UK

We still need to properly test all the Spark's intelligent and QuickShot modes, plus more thoroughly test its photo and video capabilities before coming to a final verdict. But our initial impressions are that this is a very impressive package. It's more...
No larger or heavier than a can of soda, the DJI Spark is shaping up to be the portable drone you're waiting for. Its automatic flight capabilities and ability to recognize gestures are even more impressive...
There's no question the DJI Spark is the company's most approachable drone yet with intuitive gesture controls, a compact frame and low-price enough to compete with other affordable quadcopters. From the PalmControl, Quickshots and deeper smartphone integ...
Compact and lightweight design, Well priced, Great photo taking
Short flight time, Can get shaky during windy conditions
All in all the Spark is a solid drone, with a compact design and relatively low price tag that makes it a good option for adding to one's videography or photography repertoire. If, however, it's your sole device, then it may leave a little to be desired...
