    Basic Spark Comes With Remote now!

    Im guessing this is either a price mistake for BH, in that it is a glitch and the discount isn't showing across colors, or they have a special incentive from DJI or overstock of white ones. I'm not sure I'd pay $50 just for a color, but from my understanding it isn't a quick easy swap to change...

    Basic Spark Comes With Remote now!

    having said that, I also am not unhappy with what I have or what I paid. This stuff happens with tech and we just have to live with it. I'm a little surprised at how rapid it dropped. However, it does make sense with the air coming out, there needs to be a value proposition. I haven't flown...

    Basic Spark Comes With Remote now!

    I may not have bought the flymore combo if they had this deal at the time. I got mine for $540 with a $100 credit at Newegg so effectively $440. At this kind of pricing it does make me question buying the DJI refresh as the insurance costs approx 1/3 of the cost of the hardware

    Spark vs Mavic Air

    People bought something (the Spark), they made a decision and they have in their mind a need to defend their decision, consciously or subconsciously. Its done on almost every forum almost every day. Some of it is also in the form of, hey I have this, I like this, you should like this too...

    I get it, I'm a newbie here and I did something (starting it up indoors), that everything thinks is stupid. FWIW if DJI is going to be successful in the "normal" consumer market, people without much of a background with drones, I think they are going to need to up their documentation game. I...

    Got a new Spark, 3+ hours of set up, 10 secs of flight

    For the record, I don't plan to fly indoors a lot, I did think that it wasn't going to be a big deal since DJI showed the spark taking pictures indoors. I do intend to fly it outdoors. It was done just to test the thing out. I spent so much time trying to get this thing up and running over a...

    Got a new Spark, 3+ hours of set up, 10 secs of flight

    I just got a new Spark for Christmas. I have to say i'm disappointed. I was very excited to get it. I've watched a bunch of videos including DJIs promos. I have a Syma drone that I've had for a year and was hoping to have something more robust, with an active camera. I unbox it, and it...
