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

DJI Spark review
The Spark has found the drone sweet spot and auto-landed right on its bullseye. In some ways, it's the equivalent of our favourite compact system cameras - loads of auto modes for hassle-free flying, but with enough manual controls to tempt anyone looking to hone their drone skills. You could even say it has spiritual similarities to the Super 8. That classic little handheld camera gave amateurs an exciting new way to make home movies in the '70s, despite limitations like a three-minute recording time. The Spark has some limitations too. Its 10-15 minute flying time means I wouldn’t recommend buying it without at least one spare battery. The gesture controls need some fine-tuning. And it can be pretty damn noisy when flying at low altitude. But it's just so much fun to use, and capable of producing such great videos from barely more than three taps of your smartphone, that you quickly forget all this and start daydreaming about where you can take it next. That's a sign of gadget greatness, and it'll surely sell like flying hot cakes later this month. I suggest you join the queue while the summer is still young.
Pros:
- Excellent auto-flying modes
- Incredibly small and light
- Crisp and colourful HD video
- Manual options for levelling up
Cons:
- Battery life means you need spares
- Noisy at low altitude
- Expensive, particularly in the UK

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.
