[QUOTE="sdharris, post: 18470, member: 77"] I use the Spark to complement a P3P and a Mavic Pro and for travel. I travelled last week to Mallorca and having previously travelled with the P3P to the same location I would say the Spark is far easier to transport. I have also travelled with the Mavic Pro to the US and Germany and in terms of portability and travel the Spark is marginally better, but not by much compared with the Mavic. Where the Spark excels is on setup and launch. No need to use a landing pad, nor worry about switching from gesture mode to normal flight its pretty straightforward i.e. 1) take our RC and switch on 2) connect phone using OTG or WiFi 3) take out Spark 4) face toward you and power up 5) once DJI GO says its safe to fly do the two tap on the power button on the Spark and hand launch 6) once in hover use the RC to back it off and switch from gesture mode to normal flight using the option in DJI GO. To land I either land with the RC on my out stretched hand or I switch to gesture mode on DJI GO, beckon it and then put my palm under it to land. The only downside is the lack of RAW images is a pain and when you compare the output between the Spark and a Mavic or the Phantom you'll notice the quality is poor in comparison and you'll notice the gimbal and camera control is poor e.g. a Mavic Pro performing the quickshots is far better than the Spark, the Spark helix is pretty useless at times ;-) Overall though, for the money the Spark is superb and yes, get the fly more package.
