[QUOTE="aviscomi, post: 1795, member: 34"] As the saying goes, "opinions are like assholes, everybody has one". With that said here is mine (this is NOT a performance review). I've had my Spark (actually I have 2) for 3 days and have flown a few packs through it. The "bottom-line" is this: [LIST=1] [*][B]The DJI Spark is overpriced![/B] The base kit (Fly Less) should have been priced at $399 and included a remote. [*][B]The activation/pairing process sucks. [/B]Though I had no issues, but I also come from a techie background. [/LIST] Regarding point #1...$499 is too much to pay for a drone that basically uses the same WIFI technology as a Parrot BeeBop. If it used Lightbridge or Occusync my opinion would differ, but would still want a RC included. Regarding point #2- DJI's target market for this device was "entry level", thus they (DJI) could have made the entire WIFI process a bit more user friendly. This forum (and others) are riddled with activation and connection questions. I have no comments in regards to picture quality, due to the fact that this is an "entry level" device and I have my Mavic and I2 if I want quality. Thanks for allowing me to rant. [/QUOTE]
