    Spark vs Mavic Air

    No, again. I pointed out that in several cases there is a different use case for the various drones. But I also pointed out that there aren't any different use cases for the Spark vs the Air. I gave examples of my using some drones over others, but what use case would you chose the Spark over...

    Spark vs Mavic Air

    It's not about the spec sheet. Your example of a Mini Van vs a Ferrari actually supports my point. They both have different use cases. There are reasons to fly an inspire over an Air. (The camera system for example) There are reasons to fly the spark over a P4 (portability). What use case do...

    Legit JUST bought Spark (9 Hours Flight Time)... my thoughts on Mavic Air

    I own 2, soon to be 3 drones. My first was the Phantom 3 Advanced. I picked up the Spark in the Fall. My Phantom has longer battery life, is faster and has a better camera. It lacks the forward sensors that the spark has, but that really hasn't been a major factor for me. That said, since...
