" ... If you want something to play with, if you wan't something to show off, if you want mediocre shots (both photo and video) this is the drone for you. ... "
" ... It's so good, that when you fly in sports mode and do a quick flare stop, the gimbal manages to keep the camera pointing at the same place. ... "
" ... You can't be beat the price if you don't any RC or GoPro equipment. ... You can capture smooth video if you fly well and not trying to rush your way through a shot. ... "
" ... For the same price as a GoPro . ... "
" ... The main reason I gave this 4/5 stars was because the camera stutters a bit when you pan the camera (meaning it will be a smooth transition and then just jump a few frames). ... This also isn't an issue if you are solely taking photos. ... "
" ... I have been doing photography for sometime. ... But for me most interesting part was hdr mode for photography. ... "
" ... Photos and videos are high quality. ... "
" ... It’s just entering the “Professional Photography “ realm. ... If I were to need a camera drone to earn a living, I would buy the Mavic Pro, or a Inspire 2. ... "

" ... Great batery life. ... "
" ... You will want the extra battery and the controller! ... "
" ... I did find I need more batteries so expect to purchase those. ... They charge quickly and I've found last about 10-14 minutes. ... "
" ... I get about 12mins time in the air from each battery. ... Roughly 45mins and both batteries are fully charged again. ... "
" ... I have to get 1 more battery (total of 3) with my flymore set. ... "

" ... So a few days before I started to try everything out. ... I experienced a few glitches but overall it seemed to work. ... "
" ... But on initial pre-flight I got a warning error “Gimbal motor overload” that would not go away. ... I gently moved the gimbal/camera around with no luck in fixing the error. ... In addition to the warning error the camera was askew. ... "
" ... It had anti-collision on but still banged into a gate and stopped. ... "
" ... Hoping DJI gets it worked out but until then buyer beware. ... Crashing within 50 minutes . ... "
" ... I've searched all over the web, tried every solution I could find and nothing worked. ... "
" ... After having this thing for two months+, it suddenly flew away and lost connection. ... "
" ... In my case the "Gimbal Motor Overload" error would appear intermittently a minute or two into flight coming more often and staying on longer the longer the flight lasted. ... "
" ... So thankful that I ordered from DJI, but through Amazon and that the problem occurred within a short few days of purchasing. ... "

" ... Video is quite decent. ... "

" ... Look for the videos on YouTube. ... "
" ... There is tons of video reviews on youtube. ... "

" ... in fact, when i hit the tree, the drone dropped but was able to regain stability and continue flight., ... "
" ... Unboxed, read everything and charged it all to take flight. ... "
" ... It flies well, is stable, and has very predictable flight characteristics. ... I love using this UAV where the P3A is just big and ‘out there’ to catch that picture out on a motorcycle ride where a 75 ft long selfie stick might do, but doesn’t fit in a saddle bag. ... "
" ... With the small size of the drone, it's AWESOME for travel and doesn't make a scene when flying around. ... I debated between this and Mavic Pro -- and went with the Spark for two main reasons -- the size (both while flying and travel) and the price. ... "
" ... It’s also much quieter and even a bit faster along with twice the flight time. ... "
" ... brand new product, original packaging, perfect conditions, i have flyed this on one vacation trip and exceded my expectations. ... "
" ... Best drone for travelling because it easily fits in your carry on bags. ... "

" ... The DJI GO 4 app has come a long way, but still needs a tweak or two. ... "
" ... This is really a great toy, tones of fun and applications. ... This is a bug DJI needs to fix, such crazy thing can easily be prevented, don't even let it launch to fly at the first place. ... "
" ... I highly recommend that you look for the DJI Tutorials online or through the app. ... "

" ... DJI go app makes videos and pictures better ... DJI Go app crashes regularly ... "
" ... 5 - Mastering the DJI Spark and it Smartphone app is easy, with a “learn as you go” approach. ... The "DJI GO 4" app is easy to use, allowing you to go from "Beginner" mode all the way to "Sport". ... "
" ... So far, the usability and the app experience match what I'm used to with the DJI Osmo Mobile - which is to say, I've been very impressed with the features and quality that DJI has offered at a consumer level price point. ... 3) The iPhone app will start in Beginner simulation mode, so you can try out the settings in a virtual on-screen environment. ...

" ... First the app would not recognize that I was connected to the wifi of the controller. ... I tried over and over to get it to work, restarting the controller, my phone (Google Pixel 2) and the app. ... So I reset the wifi connections and tried connecting my phone directly to the quad. ... Many times even though your connected to the wifi of the remote or even the quad itself, the app doesn't think you are and you cant fly ... "
" ... One star simply because the stupid app forced me to register via phone number which I don’t have when I tried to take off indoor in Shanghai. ... "
" ... - the phone has gotten disconnected from the spark on 4 separate occasions while it has been flying just above me ... "
" ... I spend many hours trying to get this thing connected, it flew a total of one minute (it connected once out of many hours and I have no idea why) and would never connect again. ... I tried 2 different phones with the same result, not sure the "approved" Android phone list makes any difference as I was on a approved phone. ... "
" ... 150ft up, 200ft away and iPad overheated. ... "
" ... IF YOU HAVE AN ANDROID DEVICE BEWARE!!! ... "
" ... The remote connects to your phone wifi WIFI not usb so the stream is laggy. ... "
" ... I've had numerous drones in the past, but the Spark is the most complicated to set up re: wifi issues, and setting up/connecting to the controller is very frustrating. ... "

" ... Hands down best drone for the price and overall fun and use. ... "
" ... Hands free selfie is a plus. ... "
" ... The gesture control is great and even my 8 year old daughter got it to lift off and land on her hand! ... "
" ... The compact body size (it is the size of your hand) makes it so easy to take with you anywhere you go. ... Amazing it tried to automatic right itself, but the propellers got caught in the leaves and then proceeded to fall all the way down the tree hitting limb after limb. ... "
" ... 5) Assume your going to need to practice ( a while) to get the hand gesture features to work. ... "

" ... I do feel like DJI is taking advantage of us by selling the remote seperatley becvause the drone is not much fun with out it. ... It is almost necessary to have the remote control and an OTG Cable to really enjoy this device. ... "
" ... We have 14 ft ceilings and the remote is so quick and responsive that when you push the joystick to go up, you go up VERY quickly. ... "
" ... The Spark has a great camera, and the remote is very responsive. ... "
" ... From my point of view, I’ve always been fascinated with remote-control flight toys. ... Over the years, I”m not sure how many $25 or $35 or even $70 remote control helicopter or airplane gadgets I bought. ... ⁃ Get the combo with the remote controller. ... "
" ... I highly recommend the combo additions of the propeller guards, spare battery, & remote control. ... "
" ... I'm so glad I got the combo pack with remote, so much easier to command. ... "
" ... 2 - Without the add-on remote controller you are VERY limited as to how far, how high and how fast you can fly. ... 4 - Remote Controller - this unlocks the full potential ... "
" ... For an extra $200, you get the remote controller ($150 value) and an extra battery ($50 value) plus a load of other add ons. ... Sure, you can control the Spark without the remote, but the range is greatly increased with the remote - up to a mile. ... "

When you launch the GO 4 app it comes up with a warning that if you don't update the firmware you will not be able to use the quad after some date, problem is everything locks up when you try to update. ... The setup for android is not simple, not documented well and you are basically on your own., Now the one I received may have been more defective than most but when a company advertise that it works with these android devices and it doesn't the product is defective and the company is misleading. ... "
