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

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.

This increases the drones flight range and allows you to fly a lot more accurate. This is a must have for the dji spark

The DJI Spark might be small, but its main body feels dense and solid as a brick. The drone's limbs feel just a sturdy thanks to some heavy ribbing. With nearly zero visible seams along the drone's body, it's clear that most of the Spark's fuselage is molded from one solid piece of plastic.Taking...

Well what a surprise once you are through the registration phase it's a breeze, if you are not sure of your skill level put it into beginners mode. This mode helps understand the handling of the drone and its potential at a sedate pace.

DJI's Spark is, hands down, one of the best compact drones you can buy.

Tons of intelligent flight modes; Obstacle avoidance; Two-axis gimbal stabilization; Ultracompact form factor; Excellent flight performance

No 4K camera; Average flight time

With its Spark, DJI is "democratising the market and simplifying complex technology".

Small; lightweight build; Intelligent flight modes; Easy to fly; Good image quality

Expensive in the UK; Gesture mode is a little unreliable; Battery life is short and extras are pricey

*This review has been updated to include new information that has surfaced since the original date of publication. Last month, DJI pulled the curtain back on its newest drone — a pint-sized powerhouse called the Spark — during a press event in New York City. It’s the company’s most compact drone yet, so we stuffed one in a backpack, brought it back to Portland, and have been flying it nonstop for the past two weeks. Here’s how it went: If there’s one thing DJI is good at, it’s stuffing a ton of features and functionality into increasingly small drones — and nothing showcases this talent more than the Spark. Despite the fact that the drone’s hull is roughly the size of a Twinkie, DJI somehow managed to cram in many of the same goodies you’d find under the hood of the Spark’s bigger, bulkier, and more expensive brothers. Aside from its tiny and hyper-portable design, the Spark’s biggest feature is arguably its plethora of intelligent flying modes. In addition to DJI’s standard stuff, the...
