[QUOTE="Oliver Blitz, post: 2601, member: 337"] Well let's see. You can buy a Traxxas Aton with removable 2-axis gimbal (I have one) for about $400 and spend another $400 on a GoPro. It's bigger though. The result is a flashy, fast aircraft that takes so-so vids and crappy stills. Or you can go full-stop and buy a Karma, and well, yes... Or an obsolete Solo. Wooo. Or a Parrot or a Breeze... yawn. Show us where you can buy anything remotely as capable, either as an aircraft or as a flying camera, for $500 in any size, let alone miniaturized to this astonishing degree. The Spark is on the very bleeding edge of current technology, it is an incredible piece of engineering, and no, it won't haul your uncle's six-pack down the beach, so therefore it's a failure, right? This is the direction of the future, some of us have been agitating for !!smaller!! for several years and DJI is first on the block, first with the Mavic and now the Spark. Wait five years and we'll see sub-200 gram machines with more agility, stability, flight-time and image resolution than any current pro-sumer class machines. The technology will force the market to follow, the days of 20K camera ships will be gone, just as we are now seeing major magazine covers shot with Iphones. This new little masterpiece isn't what everyone needs, but it should be celebrated, not disparaged. [/QUOTE]
