Picked up my Spark yesterday. There weren't any "Fly-More" combos but wanted the remote, hub, and an extra battery, so bought them separately rather than wait.
Been flying drones for a few years. I fly AP and FPV drones. I like tech.
Current AP drones are; Phantom 4, Mavic Pro, Inspire 1.
Current FPV Drones; QAV-R, Quadrysteria Crosbones 5", Blade Torrent 110, Blade Inductrix FPV Pro.
With all that said, I'm beginning to wonder if I made the right decision buying the Spark after perusing this forum. I bought the Spark because of Gesture mode and the ability to control it via my Iphone or Ipad.
But I'm finding the Gesture Mode to be finicky and I couldn't bring it back down with a gesture and resorted to using the Iphone. And yes I read the manual and watched videos making sure the lights were blinking the correct colors as I stepped through the face and palm recognition. I didn't realize that distance was limited if you aren't using the remote. So thats a bit of downer. Not that I was planning on flying very far with the Spark. I wanted it for what I thought it was; a "selfie" drone.
Admittedly, its my fault for not doing a more thorough job researching the Spark. But I think the Gesture mode, which is a discriminating factor should have worked much better...
