Allow me a technical question without "killing" me

How interchangable are the RC`s for Mavic Pro/Spark and Air?  The Spark and the Air`s look very similar to be on photo`s.

Appearances can be deceiving. They share some family ressemblance, but they are not interchangable - at all !

Thank you for the quick reply.

Yes you are correct in that appearances can be deceiving, but if one does not ask one will never know

You are absolutely right

No inconvenience.

It's mainly to do with the different radio transmission systems that each use. MP uses OcuSync whilst the MA uses enhanced WiFi and the Spark WiFi.

Thank.  That is quite interesting.

I would have thought that a company would try to standardise as much as possible as it gives their clients the option of say just upgrading from one craft to the next at a better investment to the client who will then obviously stay with said supplier instead of going to another brand altogether.

Each drone will have progressive specs to suit different pilot needs. Those on a tighter budget, for example, will go for the Spark but if that had OcuSync it would add hundreds to the purchase price.

Thank you for the insight. I never thought about it that way.
