I was new to DJI two years ago but quickly realized their drones were superior in almost every way. I had had an accident with a Tello drone and decided to get something more reliable and stable in more ways than one. The only DJI drone I could afford at the time was their entry-level drone, the Spark, so I bought it as a big upgrade from the Tello. That drone was a little tank through thick and thin; took a few crashes, but it kept right on flyin'.
When I saw that DJI discontinued the Spark I was pretty disappointed until they released the Mavic Mini as their new "newbie drone." I was excited until I saw all the problems the users were having with the Mini, such as the uncommanded descent issue. There was an alarming number of threads on this forum about lost Mini's and crashed Mini's and bizarre issues. I decided there were too many bugs and glitches with the Mini to "upgrade," so I just left it alone. Now DJI's released another entry-level drone, I guess to replace the Spark. I'm a hardcore Spark believer, even though I have the Mavic Pro; I'm just disappointed that DJI would discontinue something as all-around awesome as the Spark and replace it with something lighter and more buggy and more likely to break and with so many fewer features. Yes, the Spark is a bit primitive compared to what's out there, but still, it's a great little drone.
Ok, I've had my rant; you all can agree or disagree, this is just my point of view. But I invite you to share your views too!
