Are you thinking of buy a new drone?

[ultradev]

Hey Guys, I just want to know how many of us are thinking of getting another drone or buy the first one?
I actually have a Phantom 4, but I'm thinking of buying a spark, what do you think. Is it worth it?

If I were you, I would buy a refurbed Mav.

Ok Thanks

It's time for the product lines to refresh soon. I'm guessing the Phantom 5 and Mavic 2 will be coming out in the very foreseeable future.

If (and when) DJI comes out with an MP2, I think the entry level price will be around $1300 - $1400 for a flyless, now that Gopro, Parrot and Yuneec are essentially out of the game.

Totally agree...especially now that they have the "entry level" Spark.

And a monopoly shall rise.

The Spark is pretty limited compared to Mavic. I concur with Thunderdrones. Buy a good used or refurbed Mavic.

Amen! Others had their chance, but they opted to enter the market "half-assed".

I have loved my Mavic Pro for the past year. But I have some "play money" burning a whole in my pocket, and I'd really like to spend it on another drone.

After having flown the mavic pro, the phantom 4, and the spark, I think I've made my decision:

Time to buy a Mavic Platinum.

I don't understand the attraction to the Spark at all. Unless you absolutely cannot afford that extra $500, or you're into "cute and colorful".

 

[wytnyt]

i dont see the gain from a mp to a mpp to justify spending another 1k+.

 

[Anthony]

As I have had my Mavic for 13 months I will look to upgrade when Mav 2 arrives I will donate my current Mavic to one of my sons

Well, I was Thinking to buy the spark because I already Own the Phantom 4 since it came out, and I think it could be great to experiment with because it's a cheaper option.

I love the size of the Mavic, and ease of set up, which was the #1 reason I bought it, but few mentioned how bad the images from it are. As a working photographer I really want better camera controls. Not a week goes by when I don't wish that Canon would jump into the drone sector.

I'd wait for the next generation Mavic with an actual improvement. I am. I'm buying whichever comes first, the Mavic 2 or the Phantom 5.

 

[Gonçalo]

Buy a Mavic in my opinion. Better than the spark and still very easy to transport compared to the Phantom 4.

I on board with that...hoping for a Mavic II with a "beefier" camera.

You spelt Nikon wrong.

No but seriously to the OP; I own both the Mavic Pro Platinum and the Spark and I can say that I love both, for very different reasons. If I could only pick one, it would be the MPP though, hands-down.

I’ve also owned a few Phantoms and a Mavic Pro. I would choose the MPP over any Phantom - the Phantom line is just akward from a transport perspective. If I was going to be dealing with a large drone, I’d just get an Inspire and skip the Phantom all-together. If you get a MP/MPP of a Spark, I think you’ll agree.

If I had some money to play around with (that I didn't put into FPV drones) I would get a spark. It's a different drone and I'd love sometimes to have a little quad I can fly through tight spots and not worry too much. The Mavic even with prop guards is still too flimsy to out even near a risk
