Don't get me wrong, Spark is an excellent little drone and I still like it VERY much, however, everything I'd wished that the Spark had/did has been included in the Air.
- Smaller folded with a neat little protective travel case, I can now fit the entire Air kit with a few extra batteries and a small mirrorless camera in a sling bag. It really is the ideal travel drone.
- More powerful (handles stronger winds way better) and much faster
- MUCH better video specs
- Better range
- Better RC connection to drone (still not up to Mavic Pro but more stable than Spark)
- Support for OTG cable connection to smart phone / tablet (with cables supplied)
- 3 axis gimbal
- Joysticks can be removed from the RC (may seem trivial but makes a big difference when packing/travelling with it)
To be honest I was alway a little concerned to fly the Spark during all but perfect weather conditions, but I am much more confident with the Air. I've had it out in some quite windy conditions and both the drone and video taken had been rock steady. I guess Air's Sports mode performance gives my the confidence of getting out of situations should they arise.
If you are happy with your Spark keep flying it, don't worry about the Air unless you have a particular need. Because, if you get it, I can promise you'll have the same dilemma as Wachtberger and me |
