If this drone was sold as it was with its limited features but at a much more fair and affordable price of say ($500 with the combo), then I would argue that this is a good entry drone with some very cool features
great entry drone and the price and shipping was great.
Lots of features and a good price for the entry level drone hobbyist.
Amazing drone and came in great condition would definitely purchase form these guys again, great price!
Again, if it was say $500 with the fly more combo, I think that would be a fair price
For now this is great fun and easy to store compared to a Phantom
Pretty fun to use, battery time is limited and I already had call DJI for 1 battery that's gone bad
Pretty fun to use, battery time is limited and I already had call DJI for 1 battery that's gone bad
Having so much fun with it and recommend to buy it with the remote controller
Next, my Bluetooth hearing aids were interfering with the signal, so after turning off the Bluetooth, everything worked great, Great fun, but battery life is short, overall..A(-).
The best camera is the one you have, and the spark can always be within reach.
Problem is there's network lag between the Spark and your mobile device, so often what you see on your device is a few seconds lagged from the Spark's camera and the video signal frequently breaks up
The Spark has a great camera, and the remote is very responsive.
I have a few DJI drones, I believe this one is the best for the price, lots of technology packed into this lil drone, great camera and flight operation, may want a few extra batteries though, also lights on spark are cool too, Happy flying!
Its really about use cases; I wanted something small (tiny) with a great camera that I can take photos/videos while traveling
but I have taken lots of satisfactory photos and videos with it
no matter if Controlled by iPhone X or RemoteAttempted to calibrate, STUCK ON IMU CALIBRATION NO MATTER WHAT!Not gonna waste my time with Support, cuz why should I?Shouldn’t have had this many problems from jump, COULDNT FLY
It is very stable and user friendly.it takes great photos and is great for traveling.
It takes some really impressive videos and photos, with the "Tiny planet" option being my favorite to use
I am now able to to take unbelievable photos with my family on vacay
Dont get me wrong, I like the features of the spark but like some other people after flying it for few times I noticed that its not the drone for me
The video quality is 1080 and there is no slow mo feature
no matter if Controlled by iPhone X or RemoteAttempted to calibrate, STUCK ON IMU CALIBRATION NO MATTER WHAT!Not gonna waste my time with Support, cuz why should I?Shouldn’t have had this many problems from jump, COULDNT FLY
Rumor is that future updates might disable this feature
The Spark is a top-of-the-line entry level drone, packed with incredible features and smart controls.
I wanted to use the cx10s to try and do this 3d work yet the footage was very lacking

For example, 'Rocket' goes straight up but at a snails pace (although you can speed in up in video editing software and it still looks good due to how smooth the footage is)
Now if you are a total newbie like me, this basically means that the footage will be a little more shaky vs the video footage of a mavic which has a 3 axis gimbal
I like:Very stable video: if it looks a little jerky on your phone, it's only because it's using the streamed video, grab the video off the card for the good quality footage, considering the size the gimbal is amazingSuper stable and easy to fly: if you haven't flown before, don't be intimidated
Brand new, under an hour of flight time, and it flew away into the forest ignoring my commands to land
Allow me to explain the main cons of this Spark and also include pros at the end to be as unbiased as I can.*As a quick preliminary thought - with the 2 main cons I discuss below, the lack of a 3rd Axis on the Gimbal and being locked to 1080p 30fps - it feels as though DJI has intentionally held back this Spark drone so that it is not seen as a direct competitor to the DJI Mavic
I wanted to love this drone as it was so small and nimble compared to the p3 I already own but to start things
Pros:- Not intimidating as it is small and has stable hover during flight
Even if you are cautious with how you fly, it can still ignore your command and go wherever it pleases as if it has a mind of its own

Make sure that you read the fine print regarding whether or not DJI's app is compatible with your current phone, else you'll either have to buy a new phone or their ridiculously expensive controller.
After upgrading my Android phone the problems with the DJI Go app have gone away
Too slow with a mobile app, harder to control and can't fly too far.
It does not appear to crash but rather the app just closes
It’s my first drone and it is so easy to fly, super compact and the app is easy to use and edit videos right off of.

you are a professional and are looking for a high end device which will be a money-making tool, this flying camera is not for you, or if you have a super flashy 4K larger than life TV, you might want something more advanced like the DJI Mavic, but for everyone else, this drone is like a dream come true
Keeping your self fluently to its moments as to not wonder off screen and lose the track
I've being hesitated for choosing this one or Mavic Pro, because of budget, just like most people who are now viewing this
DJI has the drone market under control, from their quality, to the UI of the DJI Go4 App...which I have read a few people having issues with phone compatibility (sorry if you are one of those folk)
the 1080 P is excellent (I wish it had 60 frames per second however)
With those cool unique gestures and flight modes such as Dronie, Rocket, and Fly Away, many people have already crashed and destroyed their drones within their first few flights
Many people will hate this.-Poor Instructions: Tying in with the point above, this isn't very intuitive to use and setup

Iv been able to fly 1 mile out before i lost signal (probably could have gone
Even with the controller you are going to have a weak signal
Get yourself a signal booster for the controller too so you can keep a good signal
This thing rips but it disconnects and the signal gets weak fairly
Almost smashed into my face, then crashed going over 20 mph

While flying it the day before her wedding to prep the camera settings, the drone randomly lost GPS connection and crashed into the house we were staying in
:Wifi signal is terrible, it will drop and/or get so bad the picture freezes oftenApp randomly crashes, good thing altitude hold works because your stuck scrambling to restart the appWhen the app does work you are bombarded with pop up warnings constantly, very annoyingYou are forced to look at ads for other DJI products almost every time you launch the appMany times even though your connected to the wifi of the remote or even the quad itself, the app doesn't think you are
Based on DJI forum, many people have had the same problems, and DJI is apparently refusing warranty service
It tries to mimic the role model of proper customer service in U.S. but fails to do so in multiple levels
I had heard that DJI had poor customer service, and they do
Very poorly written instructions, poor DJI customer service, and even if you buy an OTG cable to fix the weak/nonexistant connection between your phone and the remote controller, the Spark still has trouble recognizing it
Poor customer service backed up by product that fails miserably.
Works good on IOS but they have terrible android support
To have an online tech tell me, after 30+ minutes he cannot help me is some of the worst customer support anyone can receive.
I’ve spent 2.5 hrs trying to set this thing up.... after failing I contacted support where I spent another 75 minutes trying to set it up an still failed
the 1080 P is excellent (I wish it had 60 frames per second however)
Read the DJI Spark forum before you consider a DJI product: poor support, no refund for a defective product unless you can produce the corpse
After having this thing for two months+, it suddenly flew away and lost connection
Other problems included significant connection errors / random disconnections while flying (one time it disconnected and just hovered until it ran out of
Weak connection: If you buy this drone get the controller
I do recommend this DRONE to anyone that lives where they can get a good connection .
and it looses connection frequently if there is a lot of interference
Heck, I crashed it into a tree this past weekend, it fell probably 75 feet and all it needed was some new propellers
(Which is supposed to allow a distance of about 1 mile) and only got 500 feet away only about 200 feet up before it lost connection and never came back
You pull it out of the bag and fire it up... with in a few seconds you are flying before you attack to much attention its 400 feet in there air and no-
and it fell about 20 feet onto grass with absolutely zero damage
No need to constantly course correct it like cheap drones as I am a complete noob.- Touch of a button and slide to take off 3 feet above ground
It is user error as they used these modes in tight locations they should not have (Crashing into tress, walls, etc)
They even covered one of my drones crashing due to user error (my one and only!
I reached out to DJI for support (3 times) and warranty citing the device malfunction and on 4 instances, they gave me different reasons as to why this occurred citing user error
They refused to repair it, as a warranty item stating, user error which it was not
After a couple of user error issues, it is flying wonderfully
It is also part of the assembly that allows the camera to pan/tilt up and down
no matter if Controlled by iPhone X or RemoteAttempted to calibrate, STUCK ON IMU CALIBRATION NO MATTER WHAT!Not gonna waste my time with Support, cuz why should I?Shouldn’t have had this many problems from jump, COULDNT FLY

its a total nightmare.3) Lack of smooth movements: If you slow the tilt speed down in the app and use tripod mode, you can get pretty slow and smooth tilting and flying shots which are nice
