Hey guys,

I have had a few people ask me what i think of the Spark and if they should buy it or not.. So I decided to do a video with what i think are the Spark's good and bad points.    This way they can decide if they want to buy the Spark or another drone.   Hope you enjoy it.   I'm no professional tech reviewer just my opinions...   Feel free to like and Subscribe ..  Cheers.

Yes it's a pretty good Drone to start with as a beginner..  Plus it's small enough to travel with.  It has many good points..

Nice, honest review of the Spark.  Marc.

Thanks...  I tried to be as objective and honest as possible..  I realise not every Drone or every product will suit everyone.    The Spark is a good little drone.

Like I said I'm no professional Tech reviewer, just my thoughts on the drone.   It's a pretty decent starting drone.  Great for Travel as it's pretty small..

Thanks...  Was filmed using a GoPro Hero 7 Black camera..    A lot of Youtubers use multiple cameras to get different shots and angles which would have been cool..  But like you said you use what you have..

Hi Greg, Thanks for the review, you pretty much nailed it :-)
I like the Spark for its portability. I travel a lot, and so I can always have a drone with me....you never know what you come across.
For professional jobs I have bigger drones.

Cheers,
Wolferl

Thanks...  I tried to be as honest as I could about the Spark.   Like most things they all have their good and bad points.    Mind you some of the bad points like Battery Flight Time and the ability to only shoot in 1080p 30fps most people would know b4 they buy the spark and are happy with that.    The Video was for those who were thinking of buying one what it has as it's good points and bad.  Each person can decide if they still wish to buy it or another drone.

I treat my spark as a 'throwaway' .....

I will hazard the spark way before I hazard the Mavic... if I can capture what I want with the spark and its a high risk flight (over water, dense obstacles, etc.. the spark comes out...

thanks.. me too..

I had 2 sparks for about a month.. one would never fly right and returned it..  I have had 3 atti mode excursions lucky they were all close by..

I have a mavic pro as well, it too has had 2 atti one close by right after a climbing slow 180 deg turn to 300ft just before moving out.. and another several thousand feet out after flying in a straight line, came to a stop to take a picture and it immediately went atti on me ...

luckily unlike some, I didn't loose contact or control with the bird and it didn't go bolting off in a strange direction so I was able to bring them all back but my confidence in their latest firmware is just not there

Yeah that's really a bad side of a Spark the constant Wifi issues..    These things aren't cheap to lose..
