I would be more interested in that parachute module or some sort of an on-board emergency battery good enough for 2-3 minutes of extra time......
Also note with Spark running time being low as it is adding extra weight can be a fun killer.

Hello and good day. Thank you for reaching out and for the inquiry. With regards to this inquiry. I am sorry to say that we do not recommend using 3rd party devices like an umbrella for your DJI Spark. These 3rd party devices might affect the performance for the drone when in use and might lead in to damaging the drone. Thank you.

It's easy to understand, why they introduce their stuff indoor. Windage loss would be so huge with any slight wind so Spark will fly away with the first puff or just drop on the ground.

Just when you think you have seen it all - you realize that you really haven't seen it all!
I think that umbrella could also act as a reasonable parachute if the Spark lost its battery

would be funny to fly upove people in rain and give them free escort from the rain
that would be a good video but sadly it will be hard for spark to carry it and be stable

I'm surprised it worked.

To be laughed at when you're flying and nobody else is?

Depends on how you fly it, 15min is a lot, most of the people just get 10-12 min
BTW thanks for sharing the cool invention
