[QUOTE="jimlips, post: 93239, member: 15968"] I own a Spark, a P3A, and Mavic Pro Platinum. My buddy let me fly his Q500. My favorite of them all is the Mavic. But since your choice the Spark or the Q500, here are a few things to consider: - Q500 is very quiet - or at least SEEMS quiet, because it has a much lower frequency buzz since the blades are so much larger than the Spark. - Spark is pretty noisy - there is no doubt it is flying nearby, and everyone knows it. Even the Mavic Pro Platinum is quieter. - Q500 is very large. This is great to help see, but not so great when you want to grab it and go. - Spark is very small. I have my spark along with three batteries and the charger and remote in a clarinet-sized case I always keep with me in the trunk, just in case. I can have it ready to take off in just a minute or two. - Video on the Q500 will be superior to the Spark (4k vs. 1080), but it depends what you are using it for. I'd get the A500, and save up and buy a Spark too! Then you'll have the best of both worlds. Used Sparks can be had for about $300 with 2 batteries. [/QUOTE]
