Sorry. DJI SPARK. I forgot its name. This is how hard hitting this Drone is to Me, a Mavic Flyer.
I saw the Spark today, and that walking @#$^$ casey reviewing it.
So IMHO. Straight away the specs whilst good, arent better than mavic in ANY area, and it's just about less
capable in each area to justify the smaller price.
For anyone else, obviously the smarter buy if youre going to spend that much is to save/spend a bit more and get Mavic.
The whole smaller size concept is Bunk because it Doesnt fold, so has a goofy square footprint
that is at least as big a footprint as Mavic in terms of area.
Maybe it's a bit smaller if props are removed but that's not a hassle, is it >_<
I would rather have a long thin device in my backpack than awkard square one.
And I dont want to buy another custom backpack just to carry the Spark.
The camera doesnt appeal to photographers, Which implies it's a Fun'esque Drone.
But the price tag (especially with the famous fly more combos) is over the top.
I mean who the hell would get a Spark fly more Combo instead of a Single battery Mavic??
The speed is respectable but obviously less than Phantom/Mavic.
The Range, going from 7 to 2km I'd say is Bad for the price. As is the 16 min flight time.
I MAY be wrong about this, but from what I hear the 400ft ceiling is hardwired.
Not that I'd take a smaller lighter drone higher than that. Oh and the Battery would die by the time
you got back down
Summing up it:
Who does this Drone appeal to? It's not small enough to have a niche (think racing/Nano drones)
To me this drone (If DJI can make the orders by then) is nothing more than a Comprimise for Kids/Parents at Xmas.
Mavic is a work of art. A Museum piece. You can't make a cheaper/ bare bones version of such good engineering. But yeh thats what this looks like to me. And in every photo DJI compares it to Mavic, so there
seemingly piggybacking on Mavic's sucess.
