To give a slightly alternate view; I have a Spark which I bought because I preferred the size, weight, noise-level, and general small presence in the air to the Mavic. I like it a lot, however I live in the US where it's still mostly possible to use the Spark properly. When the OTG cable worked, I could easily get out to1km, and even without it, the range is in the hundreds of metres, which is enough for me to basically never think about it. However, I'm visiting the UK at the moment and am finding the Spark's range here limited to well under 50m. Since DJI have disabled OTG support for the Spark, it has become pretty much unusable except as a selfie drone in Europe (and gesture control is extremely ropey even for that). If they ever reenable OTG, I think the Spark would make a fine alternative to a Mavic for many purposes. The hardware is very capable for such a small quad, but it's currently badly hobbled for many users. |
