I hope it's something I can't afford.

We will see soon

Sure looks like that will be 'it'.

It's a super 35mm (basically an APS-C)

Looks great, but probably way out of my reach.

I believe that it is time they release something more high-end rather than consumer level product.

Yeah, like the X7 is supposed to be.

Oops, they have just 'announced' a DJI Ronin Loyalty program on Twitter.

Hope that is not 'it'.

Spark is so buggy that maybe went to Spark 2 xD

i was slightly hopeful that DJI would launch a Spark Pro and fix whats broken.   LUL, but whatever..

Spark is to new, at least that is my thought.

i know... but i was hoping DJI was "reflecting" on mistakes with the spark

They will continue developing the Spark. I am sure.
And improve also (I hope)
But with the pressure of releasing new products for profit it is hard to avoid all mistakes I guess.

i really wanna buy another spark, i love its size and its potential.. but its let down by the flaws and the software..  if DJI corrects most of mistakes they made.. gives it better sensors, more redundancies, better augmentation of data and better wireless system even if still wifi but uses switching tech like occysnc to automatically on the fly avoid interference and keep signal locked, ill buy it... in a heartbeat..


DJI u have a user base that wants a Spark PRO and a userbase that's happy with non PRO, with make it happen!!!

And will you be willing to pay the extra $500 for all of that, it has same amount of sensors as the Mavic .

thats pure speculation that they charge $1000 base cost and match the mavic in spec and price.    but lets say $700, because i think the price was another mistake they made, i think if they drop a spark pro with fixes needed, should be what the spark costs now and the spark packages should be dropped in price to what i think is more reasonable give its mixed reviews and mistakes..   

so my turn to speculate pricing of this, thus non existent product


$699 for the spark pro bundle as fly more package, including 4 batteries total, RC, bag, charging hub, etc.


$499 for spark pro base, which includes RC, 2 batteries, gaurds.


$349 for spark (standard) only pack, which is just the spark, 1 battery, prop guards.

nonthing seems unreasonble as long as DJi doesnt go and try to reinvent the wheel they can reuse existing stuff and upgrade within easy limitations.. and imrpove software and whats included sets..

as i see it, DJi has to make it up the the community a bit.. fix whats needed to be fixed, get pricing and whats included sets corrected.. then if they get that right, the Spark 2 and Spark 2 Pro can riase the bar higher and cost more... totally fair

Just to note. Still no announcement and in China it is 12 October already...

I think the size is perfect, but the limitations seem too much for me.
Still saving for a MPP

Patience everybody.  In the description of the YouTube video that started this thread, it says:

"Join us at 5pm PST on Oct 11, 2017 and meet the next stage in cinematic vision."

So they will announce it in approximately 3 hours from the time of this post.

Ah good! It's not something I need yet.  

Will it fit on my spark, lol

Looks good and expensive...

what's the difference between duct taping my iPhone 8 Plus to my drone vs this?  what if the duct taped iphone 8 plus is superior?

With the soooooooon coming new firmware there will surely be a mounting possibility for the spark.

I can think of a couple of differences
But in the end both will make video and pictures from the sky

I was seriously thinking of purchasing an inspire2 with X5S, now with X7 it’s what I would want but getting to rich now,
But now since it’s there and I can’t justify it , I’m am slowly going of the idea of inspire 2, so I’m not to sure about all this marketing.

Oh, but if you had been already courageous enough to consider Inspire2 with X5S it's just a little step beyond to go for the full dosis ;-). Sometimes in life we have to be a bit crazy is my opinion. Others invest in expensive cars or fancy vacation destinations, we prefer to fly and take nice pictures and videos. And with that equipment you could also start a small side-business generating revenue to compensate the investment over time.
