[QUOTE="Chrislaf, post: 122057, member: 3317"] I love and appreciate my Spark too, like many who still frequent this forum. It along with my Phantom 3 Standard are still my 2 main drones. I have 3 batteries for my Spark (just recently bought a new one). I had 4 for a long time but two of them started to swell and had a high number of charge cycles so they have since been retired. I also have the charging station which I also love - makes the Spark the only dockable DJI drone. Lately though, the difficulty in finding reasonably priced batteries for the Spark, its short battery time and the frequent gimbal sticking in cold weather (less than 0ºC) has made me long for an upgrade. I use my drones mostly for photography with occasional videos. I have no need for 4k video and when I do video most of the time it is in 1080p or 2.7K. I would love to upgrade to a Mavic 2 Pro but with an adjustable aperture, but am not willing to pay the price for a drone that hasn't gone down in price for 3 years. I am also considering the Air 2s The recent release of the Mini SE is tempting me because it seems like it might be a good replacement for my Spark - long battery life, good camera, small, light and compact and I don't have to register it and doesn't have things I don't need like 4K video. Regardless, I wish DJI would have done something more with the Spark design - every time I fly it, I marvel at its capabilities and feature set. Chris [/QUOTE]
