[QUOTE="Northwood Mediaworks, post: 105152, member: 6411"] The more reviews I see, the more I am tempted... seems the footage is quite nice, it can be fixed in post like anything else if necessary. My reservations had been the size versus the wind. The 40Mbs bitrate is an improvement, same with the third axis. I don't care about the light weight, I have no qualms about registering drones (silly marketing people), and if you want to add even the decal, you are over. So attaching a tracker makes it over too... I would be doing that for sure. [I]But the biggest thing drawing me to it is [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]the battery life[/COLOR][/I]. That is the weakest part of the Spark... flight time. OA is not an issue for me, as I generally fly well above everything. Personally, I am going to wait until February next year before another drone purchase. Will it be DJI, probably, the other brands just don't quite measure up yet, the gap is closing though. I live in a perpetually windy place, another major factor, whomever gets my $$$, the product has to be able to fight stiff gusts and offer good compass/imu redundancy. Not sure this helps you decide, but those are my key thoughts. Cheers and good luck. [/QUOTE]
