    Crashed Sparky. No response from DJI. Replace with Mini 2 or hang it up?

    Mini 2 is a beast (way better connectivity, low noise, battery life, and usb c), but the spark is a tank. I've been hesitant to sell the spark, especially because I have so many extra parts for it. Such a good back up drone and the front sensor is very handy.

    What do you think about the Mini 2?

    I have a P4P and Spark, just added the Mini 2 to my collection and it's awesome. I love the spark for its simplicity, front obstacle avoidance, and it's a tank in the wind for a small quad. The Mini 2's occusync is fantastic, the connection is solid, probably as good or even better than my...

    Interesting Experiment. Drone Vs an aircraft wing.

    Anecdotal, but one of my buddy's flys banner planes by the beach and has hit several quads. He said they bounce right off. The quads usually break of course... I could be wrong, but I feel as if the experiment doesn't accurately reflect a collision. They launched the quad at 238mph at a...

    Is full size iPad too bulky?

    I like the spark for its portability, so in my opinion yes it is too bulky. I use ipad 9.7 for P4P and Iphone 6s+ for spark.

    Spark or Mavic pro 1st drone

    Agree, your budget is pretty tight. I spent a small fortune on spark accessories considering it was supposed to be my cheap drone. Besides editing in 4k sucks unless you have the hardware to do it.

    Spark Props

    open manually, only takes a few extra seconds. There's a slow-motion video showing the Mavic startup both folded and unfolded and the Mavic shakes noticeably with the folded props. The added wear and tear probably isn't significant, but at least you can check your props while unfolding them.

    Spark Owners - What generation/age?

    Relatively expensive product for younger people especially after purchasing somewhat necessary/important accessories for the spark to be useful (case, controller, extra batteries, filters, micro sd cards, etc.).
