Thanks. Don't get me wrong I think Refresh is a great deal and I would get it every time. I just thought it was both a repair or replace plan. In reality it is only a replacement plan. I see it clearly now, but was mistaken when I signed up.

I thought that DJI Care Refresh was a way to get free repairs if something goes wrong with your Spark (even from user error). What I didn't realize is that the Refresh plan just gives you the option of replacing your Spark (first replacement $49) and does not give you free repairs. So with an...

In noise tests I have seen (very unscientific, but a starting point) the air is louder than the pro and slightly louder or equal to the Spark. Why do people think the Spark and Air don't have the new style props to cut noise? With the Air not being quieter than the Spark that is another reason...

This was exactly my point earlier and I completely agree. I am not a fan of gesture mode, but the palm launch is huge for all the reasons you state. One way I use it is if I am on a pier or surface with a lot of rebar, launching from my hand bypasses the compass error I get when I put it on...

What if I change the threads question slightly - Will the Mavic Air replace the Spark (if you also own a Mavic Pro)? I would say no. But if I only owned a Spark than yes.

Keep going!! I need someone to talk me into not cancelling my order for the Onyx FM. I thought I was going to save $1000. Looks like that is not happening.

One reason I think the Air won't replace the Spark is the ease of set-up and launch. DJI's pitch with the Spark was that you could take it out of your bag and have it flying in seconds. This ultimately was one of the main reasons to buy it if you already had a Mavic. Think about it. All you...

I have both the Spark and Mavic Pro. I am undecided on whether to get the Air or not (although I already pre-ordered the Black FM). The Air just doesn't seem to be better than either one at certain things. It is a tweener that is a good (even great) mix but lacks the best features of each...

Is the Spark a dead product now or do you think we eventually see a Spark 2? For me the Mavic Air is too close to the Mavic Pro. I actually think the Spark for all its limitations has a unique place in my collection. I like the ability to hand launch from anywhere. It is still smaller than...

I want to move this thread back to the top to see if anyone can confirm or refute this. Many views but no responses. Surely, someone has used the goggles with the Spark. I was flying again today and liveview came in at 720p with no way to change to a higher resolution. So the simple...

My experience varies widely depending on location and potential interference. I am fully upgraded with all firmware and use the new iPhone X. I was flying from inside my parked car (it was really cold outside) over open water and got to 1.91 km or over 6200 feet (altitude was below 150 feet)...

When using the goggles with my Spark I don't get an option to change the liveview resolution. It is stuck on 720p. I know on the Mavic there is the option to change from smooth (720p) to HD (1080p) and also keep current (I think 720p). Is there a way to change this is the Spark? To have a...

Does the Spark allow for gimbal lock (or FPV mode) similar to the Mavic? Wouldn't that basically be the same as fixed wing mode?

I experienced the same thing - I am getting GPS lock way quicker. Also not sure if this is a coincidence.

Same here. No video recording gesture in the tutorial. Also what did they mean by voice activated gestures?
