[QUOTE="dwallersv, post: 32862, member: 4268"] Been doing this a little while, started with a P4, then MP, Spark, and now have a Mavic Air. The Spark is only limited in capability for anything other than what it was intended for. See the marketing. The lack of gimbal yaw stabilization makes it near worthless for shooting any video that's not just "fun" stuff. Guaranteed to ruin some of the footage repeatedly. I'm keeping my Spark, but will likely fly it very rarely unless they dramatically improve the gesture control in future updates. The gesture control (called "Smart Capture") on the Mavic Air is superb, reliable, more functional, and far more useful in "fun" situations than the flaky Spark gestures. It works perfectly on the Air. Only "con" is there isn't yet a way to initiate it without a remote connection. Still, you can connect with phone only (no remote), start the feature while on the ground, put your phone in your pocket and completely control it well with only gestures. With the little drone-only case the Air comes in, it's actually easier and more compact to carry around by itself than the spark. My advice: Do not buy a Spark any more, period. Given it's limitations, it's not worth saving the $300. The Air truly is a pretty good melding of the best features of both Spark and Mavic Pro. [/QUOTE]
