Anyone else started their drone hobby with a Spark? And what are your thoughts on what drone to get next? I like the features of the Phanton 4 Pro but I like the looks and size of the Mavic...

I love my Spark, and considering Mavic Pro down the track if I continue.

Mavic will most likely be my next drone mainly for the size.

Spark popped my cherry to the DJI brand of drone photography, yes. Iʻll probably graduate to a Mavic. DJI is handling their prosumerʻs properly with their offerings, Iʻd think. Like getting a Honda Civic and moving towards a Honda Accord. Get them in cheap, move them up.

The Spark was my first and I probably will not resist acquiring a Mavic in the future.

The spark is my first of the kind. But as an expirenced rc helicopter pilot, I should have chosen something flying faster and with better manual control. Maybe a phantom, but they are huge. The mavic would be interesting if it came with a full size controller.

Spark definitely sparked my interest in a drone.
So far I have not bought one, because I miss some features and need to save some more to be able to buy either a MP or a Spark.
Just waiting for the right time to buy one (like when the sales kicks in)

Parrot AR Drone 2 was my 1st years ago.  

But, in the last year, I bought the Mavic Pro first, and love it.  When the Spark came out, I grabbed it on release day.  I use my Spark more than my MP on a day to day basis.  But, I will say I am more confident with the MP by far (I had 1 fly away instance with the Spark, and haven't trusted it since). Now, when I played with the Spark in sport mode, it was fun as hell, and actually pushed me in to buying my 1st racing style drone (Walkera Rodeo 110).  2 weeks ago I built my 1st 5" racing quad from scratch and am having fun with freestyle flying .

If your looking to go further with the photography aspect  you should look at a P4P or Inspire 2 as it will inevitable head that way.

I actually use the spark more than the MP for fun and then the P4P is used more than both of them

A Phantom 3 Standard was my first last year.   The Spark is my second and will eventually add a Mavic Pro/Platinum.  Flying the Phantom is a different experience than the Spark, for sure.

Spark is my first and I don't know how I could ever leave her behind.  I have a friend on the board of General Atomics, maybe an older model Predator would be a nice fly....

Probably a second gen Spark, or a backup 1st gen. Most likely going to skip the Mavic line and go larger.

Mavic Pro was first, then the Spark. Plus I fly the rescue squad's Phantom 3 Standard. I'm trying to talk my wife into letting me grab a Phantom 4 Pro.
