[QUOTE="Decado, post: 85622, member: 14923"] Sorry to say I have been informed and am fairly satisfied the Spark production was discontinued late 2018. Authorised dealers received notification to that effect. As I said in the other thread, anyone who has bought a new Spark with a manufacture date on the box after Nov 2018 speak up please. DJI will continue to list it on their web site until there is no stock left. There was quite a bit of stock in hand (and still is but rapidly declining) but more white was manufactured than any other colour. No notification has been given of a replacement. As Vapor069 has pointed out, the wishlist for a "Spark 2 or Pro" goes along the lines of longer flight time, folding arms, 4k camera, 3 axis gimbal and these alone would push it's size and price point to about where the Mavic Air is now. I'm not even going to go into occusync, they couldn't get that into the Air for that price. So all in all, a replacement for the Spark is low odds. As to why they ceased ... who knows with DJI. The model is 2 years old which is about the normal life span of an airframe for DJI but as mentioned above however, if they can't do anything better at the price point you'd think they'd keep manufacturing it as it was indeed to perfect entry point. This is one of those times I'd be happy to be proved wrong. Regards Ari [/QUOTE]
