DJI Spark review: A delightful little drone weighed down by an abysmally unstable Android app
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.
Pros:
- 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...
Cons:
- 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.

DJI Spark review: The tiny drone that makes you feel like a Jedi
The simple fact is that the Spark really has no competition right now. There's nothing equipped with the same number of high-end features as the DJI Spark that isn't at least twice as big. It's brilliant.
Pros:
- Almost impossibly small
- Lots of smart sensor technology
Cons:
- Limited battery life stops it from being serious film drone
- Gestures aren't reliable yet

DJI Spark review: The tiny drone that makes you feel like a Jedi
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.
Pros:
- Almost impossibly small
- Lots of smart sensor technology
Cons:
- Limited battery life stops it from being serious film drone
- Gestures aren't reliable yet

Good for the beginners or light users
I had a Mavic pro earlier and I do lots of traveling. Even though Mavic pro is smaller it was a hassle to carry it around and take pictures while traveling. But this little thing makes it much easier. Doesn't have lots of features, but works great.

Small drones are not new. Toy-sized quadcopters have been on the market for years helping kids (and dads) start flying for a relatively reasonable price and not much expertise. Yet small drones that can do almost anything a big drone can do That's new.
Pros:
- It's super fun
- especially for the price
Cons:
- Gesture control could use some work
