[QUOTE="infamousevans, post: 30435, member: 6425"] I'm fairly new to the hands on drone game, but I did a lot of research and educated myself before I pulled the trigger on the Spark. The reason I chose the Spark (over Mavic) was exactly that, to educate myself on the hobby and get a lot of flight time understanding DJI. Seeing the price tag on the high end Mavic's/Phantom's I would be crazy to invest that much money as an introduction to the hobby. Basically I'd be like some 16 year old kid just grabbing his drivers license and buying a Ferrari My opinion on the Mavic Air is.... why? DJI has identified it as their gap between the Spark and Mavic/Phantom. With a price tag of $1000 for the FMB, I can't see the point in investing that much money for a minimal upgrade. 5 minutes more flight time, 4k camera and some more sensors that the Spark lacks. It looks cool, and is probably cool... but I can't grasp the mid-tier thing? My absorption of this hobby thus far is that your either "ALL IN" / "GO BIG OR GO HOME" or a beginner/strictly part time hobbyist. My goal eventually is to invest in the hobby fully with a Phantom or something equivalent pending my confidence flying the Spark. Am I alone with this thought process? [/QUOTE]
