As of today this Sunday I have had my Spark 2 weeks and flown it 24 times ( have 4 batteries now ) . Over the weekend I set up and helped a friend with another Yellow Spark and we put it thru its paces 4 times and used every feature and function and all worked perfect. I have the RC with the OTG cable and I use an Ipad Mini 3 that is dedicated to (no cellular on it)my drones . ( I hot spot the maps from my Hot Spot Cell and put the Ipad in Airplane mode ) My friends is set up the same way on his Apple cell in airplane mode with no stray apps running . No issues .... have flown at 7000 feet in the mountains and over water at a lake . No Issues , no problems , no disconnect of signal . ( I will never use my Spark on just a Cell without the RC !!! Never . and I tell people this and its very important as you really need the controller period !!! ) Always think clean connection pilots , look where you fly for power and cell towers and crowds of people with cells and factorys and large metal things , fly with caution . I have done RC for over 20 years ( rc choppers and planes) and no issues ever . No the Spark is Not my Phantom 4 pro or Phantom 3A but I really like it very much so . I think the the pics and vids are fine and look great . ( I do not use 4k on my P4P even , just 1080p ) I like the Panorama Feature and Shallow Focus as they look great . The gesture mode is ok but its like a gimick the wears out fast . The quick shots I like . You need to play with them a little but over all no issues as they work and will get better with upgrades from DJI .The $4 landing gear is ok in tall grass and easier to hand launch and land but in Rocket Mode and when you look down the camera is blocked by the add on gear , they are ok . Well I have had very good luck luck with the Spark so if anything goes bad I will report !!! Otherwise All the Best you Spark Pilots ... I think its a great Mini - Selfie Drone and lots of fun !!!!
