A powerful drone the size of a cannoli.

It's super fun; especially for the price

There are plenty of small drones out there, but almost all of them are essentially toys and couldn't be considered as portable, high-end flying cameras. The Spark, on the other hand, could be. Not to Hollywood movie levels, but it's still highly capable of capturing decent footage.

Almost impossibly small; Lots of smart sensor technology

Limited battery life stops it from being serious film drone; Gestures aren't reliable yet

Awesome little drone, but set-up is pretty complicated and instructions, like most Chinese products, aren't great. Heck, they aren't even good. Plan on watching several YouTube videos to get this set up. But hey, at least the videos are there, and once you get flying it will all be worth it.

DJI Spark is the smallest drone in this Chinese company's catalog. With a little over a decade of experience, it has launched a drone that absolutely anyone can use. The Spark may just be the easiest drone to fly, and the most versatile the market has to offer.

Time for the big question. If you are in the market for a compact drone, is the DJI Spark one you should consider buying If the app worked as it should, my answer would be a resounding yes. However, with all its issues, my answer is a more hesitant maybe, and even that maybe comes with asterisks.

Portable size If you've spent any time with the Mavic; or Phantom; you'll be shocked by just how minuscule the Spark is; Impact sensors Front and underside impact sensors work pretty well at keeping the Spark from crashing into the ground or large; stationary objects; Durability and build quality...

Android Application The app's functionality and polish is excellent, its stability (on Android at least) is not; Frequent app crashes while tethered to a $500 drone is not acceptable, Battery life The manual says a battery will last 15 minutes, but it's more like 10-12.

The DJI Spark offers you what most drones can't do, and that is convenience – all in the palm of your hands. You can set up and fly, all within a few minutes.

Lightweight; Convenient

Could have a better camera

DJI wowed the crowds when they pulled the wraps off the Mavic Pro in September last year. It was the smallest drone by the famed manufacturer at that time. Capable of shooting clear and crips 4K video, it was aimed towards enthusiasts and filmmakers alike.

The Spark is great, actually very sophisticated, yet very forgiving for beginners when used in "Beginners" mode. The hand gesture mode is interesting, but very limited, but a good starting point to work up to the controller and software for more complicated flights.

Great product, controller is a must have if you want to fly the spark the right way Shipping was slow I didn't get it within 2 days using prime
