[QUOTE="RedZeppelin, post: 104460, member: 17888"] As you say, it's ultimately down to what you need. The extra battery life of the Mini is redundant if you want manual control over your footage, as is the 3-axis gimbal. I'd rather send my Spark up twice (the Mini won't give you 3 x flight time over the Spark - that's evident from early reviews), and get the footage I want at 1080p, rather than spend 20 minutes shooting auto exposure footage that will pop all over the place in post at 2.7K. I do think it also depends on how deeply Spark users have dug into the abilities of the drone. There are far too many things for me that outweigh the extra flight time and video resolution of the Mini. In every other aspect, it's cut down in terms of creative output options. Even the app and hardware controller are crippled. I'm sure the Mini will be a gateway to many excellent drone pilots and artists, but in no way is it an upgrade to the Spark on a creative level.
