[QUOTE="Xanth, post: 2140, member: 336"] Very nice! As a professional photographer and videographer I have experienced the same thing you described. For non-paid gigs like vacations the only shots that matter are the ones that get taken, and that's usually with your phone or something small. Though I find my Mavic fits nicely in a small sling pack and was quick enough to set up that we could easily do a large group selfie on our last vacation without people getting antsy. 20 minutes per battery and virtually unlimited range also made it possible to shoot more things on our vacation than just us. Your other points are very well taken. Especially - I didn't realize that the Spark could be [B]USB recharge[/B]d. That's potentially huge. I'm eager to test all that means with a large Anker battery. If anyone else knows, please share. [B]Usable without a controller[/B] and [B]Quick Setup[/B] still remain to be proven.
