Thoughts on Yuneec Mantis drone

Love my DJI Spark and I own two, but I want your thoughts on the Yuneec Mantis drone?

Yuneec Mantis Q is a direct competitor to the DJI Spark -- and you already own 2 of those. It would be a sideways move if that's what you are looking for.

Some minor differences:

The Yuneec is foldable much quieter than the Spark. Also battery flight time at about twice as long.

The Mantis shoots in 4K.

The Mantis doesn't have a true gimbal -- it uses a combination of vibration dampening and digital image stabilization so the horizon jumps around. The Spark's 2-axis gimbal is far from perfect but still performs way better than the Mantis.

My opinion:
sell one of your Sparks and combine that cash with the money marked for the Mantis towards a Mavic Pro. Spark + MP is a great combo

agreed. I have both.... Spark for short, close...Mavic for reaching out, or stealth mission to unfriendly territory.
 
Foldable which makes traveling with it easy also very lightweight and quick. Shoots at 4k which is almost mandatory get noticed at the market today. Fairly slow at normal mode runs up to 14mph but a bit fast on sprot mode goes up to 45mph, range is also small the controller only goes up to 4921 feet which is barely a mile. Anyways it's still a great drone and a competition for the spark.
