[QUOTE="JoostGT3, post: 88626, member: 3889"] I think the "problem" lies with marketing; The spark was marketed as a "can do it all by itself" selfie drone. This is not only utopia, it also gives the wrong message that you can give it to a brainless earthworm and it will still work. The truth is that it is a very advanced machine, but that doesn't make it suitable for everyone... on the contrary, it lures you into a false security. The result is that IF it doesn't know what to do, the "pilot" often doesn't either. A side effect of the technical "advancedness" (sorry, is that a word?) -even though it was marketed as a selfie drone- the Spark also appeals to people who see it as a low-cost version of the phantom, so they will use it maybe over the limits of what it was intended for. At least this type of users will generally be aware of the functions and (im)possibilities, but I think this target group really caught DJI off-guard. [/QUOTE]
