I am a new Spark owner (my first drone). I did fly RC planes a long time ago. I have a technical background so the complexity of setting this thing up, pre-flight checks, the various modes, incompetent DJI support, etc. does not bother me, though I will say it is a bit is more complicated than I expected.
What concerns me is the large amount of negativity on the DJI forum and also some on this forum as to Spark reliability. It seems that Mavic has fared better. I wonder if it is because of the lower price, Spark has attracted more buyers who don't appreciate what they are getting into, or is this cheaper hardware platform inherently unreliable.
I wonder if I made a bad choice. At least I have insurance thru State Farm. Any opinions appreciated. Thanks
