I own a Spark and and am a member of Sparkpilots.com and have been on there since the Spark first came out. The Spark does NOT experience more flyaways than other DJI drones. When one examines the circumstances or logs of those that "claim" a flyaway, "Most" of the time its user error. The Spark appeals to quite alot of people who want to get into drones and don't have the budget for an
MA or MP. So most of those flyaways are from new or inexperienced pilots. My Spark has been rock-solid and I don't worry about flyaways with it. DJI builds pretty solid products, to equate flying the Spark as playing Russian Roulette is just absurd...
As I've told others who are interested in getting into the hobby is to accept the possibility you can lose ANY drone to a flyaway regardless of Model and Make. There are indeed things you can do to minimize this possibility, but one has to accept that flyaways are part of the hobby.
From what I recall and someone can correct me, the
MA has a redundant IMUs and a single Compass Unit. The
MA has been more "problematic" than my Spark.. Even when I fly from the same location just a different day, like stepping out onto my deck, the
MA seems to ask for a Compass every couple/three times out. It's range in Wifi dense areas is worse than my Spark. On 3 occasions at only 800' out and 200' up, its lost signal suddenly and initiated auto-RTH. On the plus side the active track is much better than the MP or Spark, the camera does take better pics/vids than Spark and is more stable than the Spark...
Does the Mavic Air has dual IMU and Dual compass?
How does the Vision Compass work and how can it prevent a flyaway?
I have searched a lot for further/more detailed information about these two questions - but didn’t find an definitive answer.
I also have an Spark with single everything (no redundancy), and each flight is kinda Russian roulette [emoji53] - although have mine for one year right now with no issues (but take a look at the spark foruns for the number of flyaways)
