Helix
Fly upward, spiraling around your subject.
TapFly Flight at Your Fingertips
In TapFly mode, just envision your shot and Spark captures it for you. Tap your phone screen and Spark, using vision technology, flies in the direction of your tap or exactly where you tapped while actively sensing obstacles. Capture shot after shot with just your fingertips.
Coordinate
Tap the screen and fly to that spot while maintaining altitude.
Direction
Keep flying in the direction you tap on the screen.
ActiveTrack Stay on Target
With ActiveTrack, Spark automatically recognizes objects of different shapes and sizes then tracks them according to what they are and how fast they move. This makes tracking much easier and more reliable.
Trace
Track your target from in front or behind, or even circle around it.
Profile
Follow your subject from a fixed perspective.
Gesture Your Moments, Captured Deep learning gesture recognition allows you to take dronies with simple hand motions. With PalmControl mode, control Spark’s movement by hand. If you want, leave your remote controller and phone at home.
Selfies
Raise your arms, wave your hand, or make a frame with your fingers to maneuver Spark and shoot photos.
PalmControl
Spark can follow your hand movements or even take off and land on your palm.
High-Performance Camera Amazing images and stabilized video
Mechanical Gimbal Stabilization Shake-Free Shots
Spark's 2-axis mechanical gimbal and UltraSmooth technology dramatically reduce shake and rolling shutter effect, keeping shots stable and detailed.
Powerful Lens Capture the World All Spark images are consistently sharp and vivid with very little color aberration and distortion. Spark's camera has an f/2.6 wide-angle lens with a 25 mm equivalent focal length. Five elements are arranged into a single group that fit into a compressed frame.
1/2.3 Sensor Record More Details
Small and compact, Spark's camera features a 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor, allowing you to shoot stabilized video at 1080p and stills at 12 MP. Larger pixels mean Spark is acutely sensitive to light and records colors precisely.
Multiple Shooting Modes Versatile Photography
Spark adopts all previous DJI drone shooting modes while adding two new modes: Pano and ShallowFocus.
Pano
Spark shoots horizontal or vertical panoramas by automatically adjusting its gimbal and heading.
ShallowFocus
Spark uses its 3D vision technology to create photos with a shallow depth of field.
Powerful Propulsion Speed and Precision Control With its aerodynamic, lightweight, and slick design, Spark soars through the air with minimal wind resistance. The gimbal and camera are flush with the aircraft, significantly increasing stability. Powerful propulsion offers steady flight in strong winds at up to 31 mph (50 kph) in Sport Mode.² And an advanced flight control system means flying is fun and intuitive.
HD Wi-Fi Video Transmission Fly Farther, See More Innovative HD Wi-Fi technology allows for 720p real-time video transmission from up to 1.2 mi (2 km) away.³
Stay in the Air Uncompromised Flight Time Even with all of Spark's intelligent features, flight time isn't compromised. Fly for up to 16 minutes with a fully-charged battery, capturing more footage.⁴
FPV Flight Aerial Immersion
Switch to Sport Mode and unleash Spark's speed potential. Sport Mode sets the gimbal mode to FPV by default, so the camera moves with you as you fly. For an upgraded FPV experience, pick up a pair of DJI Goggles and see a different world.⁵
Flight Safety Worry-free flight in the palm of your hand
FlightAutonomy Enhanced Awareness Spark's FlightAutonomy system includes the main camera, vision positioning system (VPS), 3D sensing system, dual-band GPS, high-precision inertial measurement unit, and 24 powerful computing cores. This allows Spark to hover accurately anywhere with VPS assistance at up to 98 ft (30 m), sense obstacles from up to 16 ft (5 m) away, and land safely.
Return to Home Worry-Free Flight Like all recent DJI drones, Spark can return to its home point automatically with sufficient GPS signal. If the battery gets too low, connection is lost, or you hit the Return to Home (RTH) button, Spark flies back to the preset home point while sensing obstacles in its path. Spark’s downward-facing camera captures images of the area surrounding home point and references these images during RTH for a safe landing.
Flight Protection Fly Smarter
DJI’s GEO system lets you know where drone flights may raise safety or security concerns, such as near airports or stadiums. This provides the information needed to fly Spark safely and responsibly.
Intelligent Flight Battery Power and Protection Spark uses a high energy density LiPo battery for optimal performance. 12 intelligent protection functions help deliver safe flight. Additionally, Spark’s battery estimates remaining flight time, letting you know when to land in real time.
1. Propeller guards are recommended when using these functions.
2. Remote controller (optional accessory) required.
3. Unobstructed, free of interference, with remote controller when FCC compliant.
4. Estimated flight time is based on flying in windless conditions at a constant speed of 12.4 mph (20 kph). Actual flight times may vary depending on your environment.
5. Remote controller required; DJI Goggles compatibility coming soon.
I would have hopped you could use the Mavic controller to operate this but it looks like they maybe using a different technology then the mavic for down link. Hopefully I am wrong.
does anyone know where i can watch the announcement event? i was logged on, but had to take care of something so i actually missed it. i love watching those!

Looks like a great product, but with all the new limitations and GEO fencing and Restrictions that drones are facing today and that will be added it seems like the marketing team went a bit too far in unrealistic situations of flying the spark, like the indoors Kart scene, so many people are going to want to try this themselves once they get a Spark, only to find out that drones are NOT allowed there, and they will be very dissapointed and give DJI a bad reputation. Instead of setting expectations so high they should focus on more practical and real life situation approach, just a thought. All in all the product looks neat!

Looks like an 'meh' product IMHO - it seems over-priced.
You might want to swap the videos on your sales page for the youtube ones in this post as the sales page ones hardly every load and never stream without buffering
Can't help but feel DJI have missed a trick or two with this. A more compact design may appealed to more. Enabling Mavic remote control with the spark would have also been nice. A sub £500 price point also likely to tempt more. Not sure about it to be fair....

Seems to be all of there videos doesn't it?! Not just the new ones. Buffering extremely slow or non existent some times.

OTOH, I generally expect people to think for themselves - not rely on commercials to tell them how to navigate life.

Agreed, but you know know a days the reality is a lot of people want to do what they see others do. its a video giving them examples of how a product can be used.

I get that, but that's still not any reason to shift personal responsibility to DJI. Marketing happens all day, every day in every industry. If we dumbed down everything for the MIllenials, we'd be walking around in those inflatable sumo suits and driving bumper cars.

I second this. There are several scenarios in the marketing videos that violate current FAA regulations for drone flight: Piloting with FPV, flying over people, etc. I'm not saying the the FAA regulations are reasonable (in many cases they are overly restrictive) but setting these expectations for the use of drones, in a US market does a disservice to the company and to it's customers. As a commercially licensed sUAS pilot, I am constantly struggling with both public perception of drones and with keeping my flying within the allowable uses, while making a living flying a DJI drone. Better to set realistic expectations and encourage uses that conform to current regulations -while working with the FAA to make those regulations more reasonable.

This might be a product that puts a lot of pressure on governments to start relaxing drone rules. Most likely DJI will sell a ton of these to younger people.
Personally, I was hoping it would sneak under the 250gm limit that we have in Canada for the drone rules. Because of this, I am more likely to get a Mavic as a portable drone than the Spark. Under 250gms, it would have been a lock to carry the Spark with me everywhere I can't fly my Phantom.

Hahaha i really hope we never get to that point! Cheers!
Yep! Apple syndrome... I was sooooo in but at that price, and no 4K...??? (Couldn't believe that) Nope...
$399 Single
$599 Fly More
First time I feel like DJI missed it. Great product, just overpriced.
Also based on DJI's track record, these new flight modes will be coming to the rest of their line for sure!

Mavic Pro cannot be compared - this is designed (according to DJI) to bring new people into the market.
If any of you "dronies" decide to go for it, buy the $699 package. Mobile range and control are hard for real RC pilots to get used to...besides, with the full package you can use it for Real Estate work, etc
I think this part might be a deal-breaker for me. I was thinking about buying this for my wife who is into photography and post production in Photoshop. Boo on no RAW format...
i see it as an everyday tool like your phone. youre not going to carry your mavic everywhere you go, but this is small enough to clip to your belt next to your phone. say you wanna get a quick picture or video of something. just unclip it from your belt, whip out your phone and fly! forget the rc imo cause youre not really gonna want to fly far with something so small. so thats how i see this product. think of it as a flying extension of your phone camera. the dji trailers of the spark make perfect examples of this. i do think a price range of 3-400 would be better though. this is just a drone for quick selfies and videos, not so much film making. which is why i can see why they went with only 1080p recording.
