[QUOTE="Chris Morace, post: 5691, member: 945"] OK, I'm more opinionated now. The Spark is close but needs some work. Here are my thoughts: - From a hardware perspective they pretty much nailed it. Nothing will get this much tech into a drone this small at the same price point, I don't think. If they could collapse the arms so that it would be feasible to tuck into your clothes it would be a game changer. - Out of the box experience needs a lot of work. It feels like they thought they were done when they made a great piece of hardware. But, for a non-early adopter the time from "Box Open" to "I'm flying!" needs to be part of the excitement building experience. (Think Apple) Easy things like a clear Quick Start Guide, Charged battery (I know that kind has issues...), SD card in the drone, and a much better app that is made for consumers. - They need to do a much better job of making the app smarter. It should pair as simply as a nest device. If you don't have RC it should pop into iPhone controls. It should give you a quick orientation and remove the power user stuff. It should be easier to enjoy your video. I will definitely use the RC remote to fly it! - Gestures are cute and I think fun to show off with friends, but I don't know that I will use them that much. They need a gesture for video. So, I guess I'd say the drone is fine, but there is some work to do if they want my sister to buy one :-) It is a great drone for the price though. [/QUOTE]
