[QUOTE="PascalG, post: 6996, member: 840"] You re obviously going to hear about a handful of problems a lot more than the thousands of users with issue free drones... Face it, these drones are now packed with technology, sensors, features and that complexity comes at a prices. I hesitated before buying a spark because I thought there may be issue with the early ones but the size and capabilities made it hard to wait. I got it early July and was only really able to fly it this past week, about two dozen flights with pretty much no issues. The footage I got is incredible and as good as the Mavic. Most flights in the 2000' range with a max distance of 3700' a couple of times. Could haven gone further but didn't need to. I think some of the issues may have to do with automated features which I don't use. I can only imagine the even of complexity of the software and the Moreno complex software is the bugs you may get. All my flights are with the RC, OTG, phone in airplane mode, collision avoidance disabled and not using any smart features incl RTH. If I m on control, I may as well fly it home instead of relying on a computer. Bottom line, it's half the price of the Mavic and does 95% of what the Mavic can do, at least for me. [/QUOTE]
