Thanks again for the quick reply. I will probably need the extra charger, so great advice.The charging station, with no batteries is $89 - https://store.dji.com/product/spark-portable-charging-station
The charging station with 2 x batteries is $139 - https://store.dji.com/product/spark-portable-power-pack
The one with the batteries is a no-brainer as single batteries are $49 - https://store.dji.com/product/spark-intelligent-flight-battery
I'll be fishing on a sportfish boat and may need to send the Spark up at any time for a Blue Marlin fight. So I can't afford much downtime while we're fishing. Maybe for this trip I'll just do five and see how that works out time wise. It sounds like charging three batteries with the DJI supplied three-slot charging station takes between 50 and 80 minutes.I have the portable charger and it works great.....no need to have 7 batteries.
Have you used the spark out on the open water? If the wind is heavy the spark platform may not be the best. Good luck in the hunt!I'll be fishing on a sportfish boat and may need to send the Spark up at any time for a Blue Marlin fight. So I can't afford much downtime while we're fishing.

Yeah, we're worried the Mavic Air might have been a better choice but we're starting with the Spark and if we have trouble with the winds I'll have a good deal available to someone on a practically new drone with a bunch of accessories! Winds are forecast to be calm when and where we are going, so I'm praying to the weather god (in spanish - thanks for Google Translate!).Have you used the spark out on the open water?

Its funny. We bought the Spark Fly More kit from Best Buy for an Amazon price match of $450. Then bought accessories from DJI and Amazon. But then out of the blue a friend from New York said... "Hey, I have a whole Spark kit for sale if you want it". The pricing worked out, and Best Buy was kind enough to forego the clearly stated %15 restocking charge. So we got a deal.How much did you wind up paying for your spark
Oh, it was $550, not $450.Its funny. We bought the Spark Fly More kit from Best Buy for an Amazon price match of $450. Then bought accessories from DJI and Amazon.
