DJI Spark Drone Fly More Combo - Alpine White (UK)

For starters this ISNT A BEGINNERS Drone. I would recommend buting a simple altitude hold drone and learning to fly that before investing in this as YOU are guaranteed to crash it OR panic dueing a possible flyaway. NOW: Video Quality is acceptable. You can upscale the 1080p footage to 4k in an editing program and get good results. Pictures are amazing in daylight as well as sunlight. Sunsets and sunrises are realy fun to capture. There are numerous fail safe modes on this drone and the fact I can throw this into my backpack with a remote wherever I go is perfect for a traveller or explorer plus it doesn’t draw as much attention as a mavic or Mavic Air does. The ability to livestream to Facebook from the drone is pretty neat. Only downfall is the short battery life. You’ll get at most 15mins,also this BEAST can also handle some pretty strong winds to some degree. If youre looking for something small and practical that can be easily throw in a backpack for travels,and are not a professional videographer,this will do you proud.

After previously owning a Phantom drone I took another punt and purchased this DJI Spark. Ok it’s not 4K, but most people bring it down to 1080p anyway due to the enormous size a 4K video will be. It flys great and sport mode is amazingly fast. The hand gestures are a bit of fun for an hour,but that’s about it as they are very limited and you will soon become bored with them. I got the Fly more combo purely because you get the controller and an extra battery along with guards/spare propellers and charger. I also purchased a 3rd battery and am considering getting another 2 to make it upto 5 in total. This is due to the extremely small battery life on the Spark. DJI say 16 minutes, I am actually averaging around 10 minutes per battery which is pretty poor to be honest.

Ordered this drone a couple of weeks ago and had an amazing experience with it so far. The fly more combo comes with an extra battery which was faulty in my case. Amazon sent me a replacement within two days so no big trouble there. Heard that some batteries might be faulty and mine wasn't the only case. The battery stops charging at 2 lights out of 4 and when plugged in it is not recognised by the drone. Maybe the battery is not updated? In general great footage and stable drone with amazing features. If you consider buying a drone as a beginner this is it. Remote controller is a must in my opinion.

The drone as both good and bad points. The good points are its size and ease of use to fly. The bad points are the battery and the leather case you get in the combo pack. Firstly the case. It fits the drone and two batteries. However it doesn't fit the guards which come with the combo pack so the case becomes useless as you have to carry it in something else if you want everything to be together. Secondly the battery is very poor. In real world testing I got no more than 10 minutes of air time. You get it up in the air and before you know it you are bringing it back down again. Part of the reason for this is: when the battery gets to 30/25%, alarms go off on the controller and it warns you that it is running out of juice and needs to be landed. At £700 I want a drone I can fly for longer than 10 mins.

The DJI spark was my first foray into drones. It served me well for a few months and then I immediately upgraded to the Mavic Air. However, the DJI is a fantastic entry level drone for those who don't want something too expensive. it is only let down by a few minor issues which shouldn't bother everyone. Pros - It is build like a tank - it can be crashed and it will most definitely be fine. - The propellers are foldable which is super convenient - The batteries charge all at the same time - It has a small profile - Comes with a nice leather bag Cons - It only has a two axis gimbal - so stabilisation is not comparable to the likes of the mavic series - It doesn't shoot 4k video - however, do you really need this? To be determined by the user really.. - The arms do not fold down - which makes its profile seem bigger than it actually is when packing - The battery life is around 8-12 minutes actual use per battery Overall, i would recommend the flymore combo as it comes with everything you need to get your drone adventures up and running. if you're up for spending an extra few hundred, then i would definitely recommend the Mavic Air. However, for what its worth, the Spark i believe is much more durable to crashes.

I am computer savvy - very. But this thing had me stumped. A nightmare to set up, it couldn't be more complex if they tried. I spent hours trying to get it sorted and I never got to fly it. The wifi would disconnect every few seconds, the drone camera would not switch on. The final straw was when, after a required firmware update, the wifi password would not work any more, both for the controller or for the iPhone, although earlier I had them working okay. It seems the drone had randomly changed its wifi password. I decided to return it. I want to have fun, not frustration. The manual that came with the drone was impossible to read, I've seen bigger post-it notes. Video tutorials from DJI are useless. There are a plethora of other video tutorials on the Internet but they all seem to contradict each other. There is also a raft of bad reviews and complaints which I ought to have read before buying this drone, many others have give up on its set up and many who get it to fly only do so once as it just flies away and is never seen again. I do not recommend this drone to anyone.

This is an amazing drone. For such a small device it handles perfectly and has more tech in it then you would expect. When i got this i was scared to fly it as £600 is a lot to lose if it all goes wrong but the controls are so easy. It is stable and i sent it up to 200ft and directly down again and it was still at the point it took off from. With the GPS it holds the location perfectly and with the landing sensors it knows when its near the ground. It can land itself or just old the control full down and it will slow near the ground and land. The video on this thing is only 1920 HD but looks amazing.

Love this to bits! Didn't want to spend thousands on a first drone, so went for this one. Sturdy, great quality. Colour is bright, beautiful. Don't know the camera quality yet as haven't had time to try with an sd card, but even the saved to phone via wifi video quality isn't too bad. Calibrate as often as you can and it will be amazing flight experience! Watch some vids on YouTube on how to prevent spark from flying away, and learn about ATTI mode. Then the flight is easy and enjoyable!

Eccellente prododotto superaro le mie aspettative. Comprato come primo drone e sono riuscito da subito a volarlo e fare delle riprese eccezionali!!!!! Lo consiglio vivamente!!!!

Eine der besten Drohnen zu diesem Preis. Schade, das sie nicht mehr produziert werden soll. Der Nachfolger wurde stark abgespeckt, fehlende Näherungssensoren u.s.w.

Il drone Spark è veramente ben fatto, molto stabile, facile da controllare, ma nonostante questa versione abbia anche il radiocomando, non riuscivo ad arrivare neanche a 100 metri che il segnale si perdeva. In questo periodo ho avuto la fortuna di fare un viaggio in America, e meraviglia, lo Spark si connette in modalità FCC, e sono arrivato tranquillamente a distanze di 500 metri senza problemi, fantastico. Quindi il problema è che in Italia per legge deve utilizza la trasmissione CE, che è meno potente rispetto a quella americana FCC. Ho richiesto il reso, perché non è che posso traferirmi in America, ;-) Molto comoda la funzione fotografica pano 360 e postare poi il tutto su Facebook.
