[QUOTE="KayakMark34, post: 88801, member: 7975"] This was my review for B&H after my Spark Purchase...and I still stand behind my comments! Sold my Mavic for the Spark By Mark I owned the Mavic Pro for just under a year. Never used the 4K because my computer couldn't handle it anyway (and I don't have a 4K TV/Monitor). Never flew too far away, so the distance of a mile plus on the Spark was more than enough for me. Loved the smaller size of the Spark for transporting and using while kayaking. Easier to launch, from my case, and hand catch. The Mavic Pro seems huge to me now, and I've owned a few Phantoms before the Mavic Pro. The focus problems on the Mavic Pro was driving me nuts as well.I Figured I would sell the Mavic Pro while it was still in great shape and the value was still high (until the new one comes out, which I hear could be soon). The Colors are way more accurate/rich, and the focus is superior on the Spark's video over the Mavic Pro IMO! I honestly believe the still photos are also better than the Mavic Pro??! (Note, the Mavic Pro has a f2.8 lens @28mm, the Spark a f2.6 @25mm, so there is a difference somewhere, although lots of reviews say they are the same camera?) The ease of set up makes it fun to fly again. With the newer pricing WITH the free controller, I fly more often now because I'm not worried about losing $1000 if it does get damaged/lost. With the sale of my Mavic, I still have half the funds leftover from that sale, and a Brand new Spark (and extra batteries) which meets my needs better than the Mavic Pro. I always have The Spark with me now and can fly anytime anywhere, and you are not as noticeable/intimidating with the "toy" looking drone. I know this is cliche', but, "The best camera/drone is the one you have with you." I chose The Spark over the Mavic Air for similar reasons as stated above, but mainly cost. Will this be my last drone, probably not...but its the best one for me at this time, and I ALWAYS buy "my toys" from B&H! [/QUOTE]
