DJI Spark First Impressions

The DJI Spark is the latest drone to be introduced by drone maker extraordinaire DJI. It is the very first mini drone to be introduced by DJI.

The Spark features quick launch with face aware, simple hand control gestures, tap fly direction and active track. 

Five different colors are available for the Spark

                                            Green

                                               White

                                            Yellow

                                                  Red

                                             Blue

There's a 2 axis mechanical gimbal that has a 12 megapixel camera that can shoot 1080p and high resolution photos. DJI stated a 16 minute maximum flight time, a top speed of 31 mph (sport mode) and a 1.2 mile range (using the remote).  It has state of the art Flight Autonomy System with 3D sensing, dual band GPS, high precision inertial measurements, and 24 computing cones that will help to detect objects and avoid The along with the ability to safely land in your hand. 

Watching the flight demo with hand gestures was amazing. No smartphone just hand gestures. And you can use hand gestures to take pictures.

DJI has incorporated into the updated DJI Go App the ability from the Spark to put together a video with music - all this without having to download it to your PC. 

One of the things I really like is the ability to charge the Spark with the battery already in it. 

The Spark is available for pre order at $499 and the fly more combo is $699 and includes the remote, propeller guards, quick release folding propellers, extra battery, case, Spark battery charging hub.

You can pre-order yours today and they will ship by mid June:
