[QUOTE="Richard Ruckert, post: 69596, member: 2396"] Yes and No yes for distance and height, and some argue control, but I'm not so sure on the latter. The Spark yaws poorly, but IMO may be a little better with a phone than with a controller. Other than yaw, control is greater with the controller. Also, I think Sport mode may only be available with the controller. I use Sport mode to quickly get to the shot, then switch back to GPS mode to refine the position of the Spark for the shot. No for convenience. If you use your everyday phone (hopefully IOS), then you can just bring the Spark (no case, OTG, filter case, etc...) and have fast access to the air. So imagine your just walking along the path for shots, you see one, you will get the shot much more quickly not having to open the case, open the controller, insert the phone etc...
