I was just about to post that question to the forum Aerial-pixel! I just got mine (it's charging as i write this), and have watched a few YouTubes, and was going to ask ya'll if you thought it was worth the additional investment. I've got the RC and another battery in a wish list right now and may bush the button before the day is done. Regardless, I think I got the best deal since I got my Spark for $350 and the RC is available for $120 (and a battery for $47), so all told I would be spending $517 and I think that beats any other deal out there.
I've found the flying with on-screen controls is just awkward for me, I like the feel of the sticks under my thumbs. Also starting / stopping recording, capturing photos is easier with an RC. You also have the full 30mph advantage of sport mode with the RC too.
No it isn't. IMHO it would be dangerous if they did offer it, you don't have the precision on-screen that you do with the RC sticks.
You're probably right, although using a 12.9" iPad Pro, I can't imagine how any on-screen precision could be any better with the joysticks. The biggest problem with that is the lack of responsiveness in my opinion - but I don't really know that the joysticks are any less responsive than they have always been since I don't have one. It's probably worth the investment just to learn about them and their capabilities. The issue I will have is that the RC seriously limits the use of larger screens since the larger screen obstruct the view of the sticks and switches.
I use an iPad with my Spark and my Mavic not seeing the sticks isn't a big deal to me.
Yeah, but I'm still a newby with the Spark controller. It will take me some time to get used to it.
