The first DJI drone I bought, and in green too. The company’s baby steps toward making a portable drone, and when it was released it was flawless

Let’s move on to the positives:
-Small and portable. It weighs only 300 grams
-Quite durable. It fell from the 5th floor of an apartment building onto an orange tree, and the only thing that happened was that one propeller broke. Of course, it’s also a matter of luck, since my Spark met the end of its life by falling from 1 meter onto a sidewalk, thus breaking its motherboard.
-Very easy to handle. While the best experience is with its controller, if you don’t have it you can fly it by connecting directly to your phone. Smaller range, but that’s okay
-It has exactly the same controls as every other DJI drone, so it’s a “learning ground” to upgrade later to something better
-Front collision sensor. It beeps and stops by itself
-A bunch of smart modes

On the negative side:
-A bunch of smart modes that don’t work properly. Gesture control simply doesn’t work
-Outdated hardware. It’s a 2017 drone, so since then the company has made much, much better drones for a better price
-Small range, even in FCC mode. The 2 kilometers sound nice, but in reality the usable distance is nowhere near 2 kilometers, especially in a city. Compared to the Mavic Mini, the Spark completely lost signal at 500 meters in a clear mountain area with no interference, while the Mini traveled quite easily 2 kilometers in the same conditions (FCC on both)
-Small battery. 16 minutes, which realistically comes out to around 13, means reduced flight time and reduced range capability. And now that no new batteries are being made, the old ones end up being damaged, swollen, and dangerous.
-At 300 grams, for full legal coverage you need a license. It’s not like the Minis that don’t need anything.
-It probably won’t be accepted for repair anymore. I contacted drone repairers in 2021 and they told me they no longer accept repair requests for the Spark, since spare parts are no longer available

In conclusion:
The Spark is an excellent drone, important in DJI’s evolution toward small portable drones. But for a long time now it has handed the baton to its siblings in every area, capabilities, price, etc.

I wouldn’t buy it again now, definitely not at the 600 it sells for
For someone looking for a training drone, if they find a Spark for 100-150 it might be worth it, although used ones typically, for some reason, are sold for over 200-250

I have had the Spark for 2 months and after many flights I can say with certainty that for the money it is excellent.
Its size is incredibly small, so it can be easily carried anywhere in a little bag, but at the same time it is so "powerful" in flight that it produces perfectly stable video even with 5-6 Beaufort (TESTED)!
Its camera is perfectly adequate for home use, producing a perfectly clear full HD image.
What is incredible is its range, which with a little "research" on the internet can easily reach 3-4 km (I have reached 3700 m), as well as its speed, which can likewise reach 70 km/h!
It has incredible capabilities, but someone needs to spend a little time with it, especially to enjoy its great range. Finally, it should be noted that the excellent DJI app provides a wealth of information and capabilities to this drone, which is small only in size.

Buy it together with its controller and definitely with another battery so you can enjoy it comfortably. Each battery provides 11-13 minutes of flight.

(First of all, Happy Holidays)... I have had the DJI Spark White for about 5 days and I am completely satisfied with the drone in many ways..
1) It responds very quickly to control with the smartphone..
2) Easy to maneuver in all directions without much stress about the route you want to choose.
3) Its battery lasts about 12-13 minutes of continuous operation in weather without much wind.
4) In falls from 30-40 centimeters it has no problem.
5) Everything the manufacturer states about the product is absolutely accurate regarding its functions (it stops in front of obstacles, lands by itself with the press of a button, takes off very easily, can be controlled with the palm of your hand, has a system to follow you or a selected object, avoids or stops by itself when moving...
anyway, it has many functions, and before buying it it would be good to see it or read about it or watch videos on YouTube..
6) very expensive spare parts, about 155.00e for the remote control, propellers about 8.00e, charger 60.00e, extra battery 55.00e.
In short, a very good little gadget but also quite expensive....
