Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Spark is one of the best drones out there. It is dummy proof very easy to use. You actually need to try and purposely crash it. It is fast and fun. Films amazing footage and people don't freak out when they see it flying over them.

After buying about seven cheap drones and then crashing or losing all of them I figured I should buy a gps drone. I thought about going all in on a mavic pro or phantom but besides being able to fly farther away I think I made the right choice. I’ve flown a half mile away with my spark. I plan on buying signal boosters for an extra six bucks and I should be able to fly one mile away. Perfect drone even for kids. This drone practically flies itself... you take your thumbs off the control sticks and just holds its position and waits for the next command.

The spark is by far the best drone for the money. I’ve flown in high wind and it still was stable enough to capture smooth video. The quality of the photos and videos are great. The app for iPhone and android makes flying and recording a breeze. Paired with the DJI remote, you can create some stunning photos, and cinematic videos with this little drone. Great for a novice, a first drone for someone wanting to start filming from the sky, or even just to use as a back up for your mavic or phantom pros. I highly recommend the remote, extra battery and ND filters.

easy to control drone and not too fast for kids ,,, it did crashed few times and all good.. thump up !!!

love this drone easy to fly and takes amazing pictures and Videos. This was my first drone over 100 bucks and its so much better then the cheap drones I have flown. The parts are more expensive then the cheap drones but this thing is amazing and worth the price

This thing is great for beginners. Be sure to look at buying a remote if you get this by it's self. Using a phone is ok but the experience id's much better with the rc.

Tons of features but easy for beginners right out of the box. I suggest you buy an extra battery or 2 as flight time is about 12 minutes and it takes 1hr to charge so keep that in mind. DJI has top notch quality and great customer support. This was my 1st drone and I love all the features like obstacle avoidance and return to home among many many more. Get one and go fly!

This was the best gift i ever got my son. The camera feature is awesome, and the stability is even better..

Best drone you can buy for the price. It absolutely amazes me every time I fly this drone. Highly recommend.

Still getting adjusted and still getting familiar bit I love it!

Best drone I ever bought. Very handy when traveling

I consider myself to be an amateur drone enthusiast. I have a DJI Phantom 4 that I use a lot but it can be a cumbersome process to get it up and flying. Also, when I'm at a place like the beach or public park, peoples' demeanor changes whenever I start flying around my Phantom 4. I always get asked, at least once, "you're not going to follow me, are you?" I get it, the Phantom 4 is a big, white, noisy drone flying overhead and people don't like being under surveillance. Enter the newer "pocket" drones. I really enjoy these as it normally takes just a few seconds for them to get up and flying, they're extremely portable, and people are often more curious about them instead of being hesitant. So far, the pocket drone market has been filled with units that are just OK. They all have at least one major drawback and a bunch of others that led me to return them. The Hover Camera was a nice concept but it has zero wind resistance (so videos and photos were almost always titled), the facial tracking features weren't very accurate, and there weren't any safety features (aside from the cage around the props). The Zerotech Dobby was alright but video was way too wobbly because the camera wasn't on any sort of gimbal system, video quality also left a lot to be desired (my $200 point-and-shoot camera took better videos). Lastly, there was the Yuneec Breeze. It can record in up to 4K or 1080p with electronic image stabilization but, even with stabilization enabled, the video was wobbly. Also, if I flew too fast left or right, large portions of black would pop up in the video as the software tried to correct for it. People often argue for the Yuneec Breeze because it records in 4K but the video that it produces is a mess. I would rather have solid 1080p video than what the Breeze produces. Enter the DJI Spark. This is DJI's first attempt at making a small, palm-sized drone to compete with the models (and more) I previously listed. This is, without a doubt, the best pocket drone on the market. It should be too because the Spark carries a higher price tag. This starts at $499 whereas the Yuneec Breeze is $100 less and comes with more accessories (mainly two batteries and two sets of extra props). But the added $100 for the Spark is well worth it. You can read about the Spark's specs on Best Buy's and DJI's websites so I won't get too much into those specifics. I will break the review down and discuss still image quality, video quality, and ease of use. First, the still image quality is fine. The Spark has a 12MP camera that takes some pretty wide shots without having the fish-eye look. The reduced sensor size means you won't get a lot of detail in HDR situations but the images are still pretty good. Video quality is also really good. This is the area where people will complain the most because the Spark lacks 4K recording but I'm perfectly fine with it. The Spark records mpeg-4 AVC video at 1080p, 30fps and a bitrate of 24Mbps. It is more than enough for anyone who isn't looking to do professional videography. The camera is on a 2-axis gimbal and DJI has also implemented software stabilization. Resulting videos are smoother than any other pocket drone on the market without having any wobble or black areas where the software just can't catch up. Videos look great on my desktop monitors, iPad Pro, HDTV, and even projector. I can't see any compression artifacts and you really have to (digitally/artificially) zoom in before you start seeing the benefits of 4K. The Spark's 1080p quality is top notch and I don't really see the lack of 4K as being nothing more than a small nuisance especially when DJI drones don't support HDR10 and/or Dolby Color (yet). Until then, there isn't much benefit to recording in 4K other than to push the pixels. Lastly, there's ease of use. This is the easiest DJI drone to get up and running. I can launch the drone, take a picture, and have it land all in 45 seconds without even having to use a controller or my phone. The gesture controls are pretty solid and work well. Once in tracking mode, the Spark does a good job of following me around. I can then raise my hands, make a square in front of my face, and it will take a picture after a 3-second countdown. It really is that easy to take a picture. Flying with a smartphone is surprisingly easy and tactile. It isn't as tactile as using a physical remote but I absolutely hated flying the other pocket drones with my phone. DJI's software (which runs best on iOS devices and often crashes on Android phones/tablets) provides smooth controls with audible notifications when something is going to happen. My phone vibrates whenever it registers that my thumb is on one of the virtual joysticks so I know when I have control of the Spark without having to look down. DJI also included more advanced, yet still easy to use, video recording options. One where the Spark points its camera straight down and flies straight up, another where it locks onto a subject (and not just some random point on the ground like EVERY other drone of this size) and circles around them, one mode where the Spark keeps a subject in the center frame and flies up and away at a diagonal angle, and one other mode where it locks onto a subject and spirals up and away while keeping them in the center frame. The main difference here with the Spark is that it actually locks onto a subject. All other drones in this size category keep their cameras fixed. They might say that they're locked onto you but they really aren't, they're locked onto a fixed point. You can move while the Spark is recording video in either one of these modes and the camera will follow you while the drone is still moving. There are other modes as well that require a bit more thinking just so you don't crash the Spark (it will follow you from the side). DJI included ground and front facing sensors, the same as the Mavic Pro and Phantom 4. You won't get the upward, rear, and side sensors like with the Phantom 4 Pro but that's fine so long as you pay attention. DJI lists the Spark as having a 16-minute flight time and I can normally fly for a good 13 minutes before the DJI Go 4 app begins requesting that I bring the Spark back home. The Spark has GPS, return to home, and other advanced features found in the Phantom 4 and Mavic Pro. DJI also included a Styrofoam case for the Spark and it's about the same size as a case used to hold fold-flat headphones (like the Bose QC35's or Sony MDR-1000X). I can easily throw it in a backpack or messenger back and take it with me anywhere. The case is large enough to hold the Spark, charger and USB cable, and two sets of extra props. I ended up buying an different carrying case online as I want to bring two additional batteries with me. I have enjoyed using the Spark so much that my Phantom 4 will become my backup drone. It's just so easy and quick to get the Spark flying and recording media. This is definitely a good first purchase for anyone who has been looking into drone flying. It's also a good secondary drone for people who want something that's even more portable than the Mavic Pro while still being capable of recording high quality photos and videos. You can buy a dedicated remote if you really want to extend the range and speed of the Spark but I'm fine using just my phone.

This is a great drone for beginners capable of giving you some great video results in a small package, With some pre installed intelligent flight modes that make it easy to seize the moment in ease that would of rather taken a lot of time and expirience to master this shots, This is my 2nd drone...My first one was the Yuneec Breeze but due to the fact that the drone did not meet my expectation I decided to return it & now that I got the DJi Spark I am very impressed in what it delivers. One reason I decided to get this over the DJI Mavic is because the look of the drone looks like a toy so if you are in the public crowd the people would not mind because they think it's a cute little toy yet it delivers some great video quality of the fact that it has a 2 axis gimble in the small body. And if for example you take a drone out like the DJI Mavic or anything bigger the people around you would not feel so invited. Pros: 1. User Friendly (Intelligent Flight Modes) 2. Small Size easy to travel 3. Can be charged with a portable charger. 4. Accepted by public crowds 5. Good stable image video 6. Obstacle Avoidence ( even though it didn't work for me and fell 25 feet high ) Cons: 1. Looses connection through wifi (hopefully fixed with a future app update) 2. No 4K video nor 1080p 60fps , but 1080p 30fps :/ 3. Batteries are 13-14 minutes long. (At least batteries are affordable compared to other drone batteries) Recommends. 1. OTG cable for direct connection from your DJI controller to your phone for better signal for your drone. 2. Buy more batteries! 3. Buy DJI Refresh because trust me your going to crash this drone if you are new and with DJI Refresh it can easily be replaced with a new one rather than being out of $500, I crashed mines due to lost signal and my drone was replaced with a new one in 7 days. 4. Buy the controller to get the most out of your drone. ( just wait and get the Fly More Combo ) In summary, I would recommend this drone to anyone who just wants to capture quick videos for Instagram or short clips for YouTube vlogs.

This was my first drone purchase and I had it for about 6 months now and am overall very happy with it. Its small, lightweight and very easy to setup with you smartphone. Pro: Small and Portable Easy to use Can use indoors but be careful It holds up pretty well in windy situations Camera quality is amazing for the everyday user Cons: Battery life is about 12 mins No 4K camera I wouldn't recommend this for professional use because you dont have control of the video setting. Its only 1080p Overall I am happy with this purchase I ended up getting a few accessories for it like the Remote Control, an extra battery and a few memory cards.

I purchased the Spark due to the small size. its my first drone and have found it very easy to fly. it is very stable and predictable during flight. I would recommend the Spark Combo pack that comes with a controller. i have flown using a phone as a controller and it works but not as positive as the controller. The controller also allows Sport mode that takes the flying to a whole new level of fun. This thing is addicting! I would recommend the DJI Care refresh from DJI. you can order it within 48 hours of activating your drone without any hassles. after that its a hassle of suplying a video of proof of operation.

This is a great drone for a beginner because it's very easy to fly and very sturdy. The video is 1080p, and it's amazing. I have a drone with a 4k camara and I never shoot in 4k. The video quality is beautiful and the file sizes are much smaller than 4k. The size is the best thing about it but it also is a bit of a drawback when it comes to battery life. They state 16 min flight time but it's really more like 10min. You will need more batteries. I have 5 and wish i had a couple more. This is not a phantom or mavic so it's not fair to compare to those, but for what it is, its amazing.

DJI has put together in the Spark a top quality drone packed with features unseen in similar or even bigger drones. The Spark can be setup quite quickly but I would absolutely recommend thoroughly reading the manual and watching instructional videos on DJI's website and YouTube. Eventhough it is not as complex as a Phantom it has lots of potential gotchas that will bite you if you don't know how to set it up right. However once setup and familiar with the app this drone is fantastic! It's easy to fly and for the most part won't let you crash it. Video and photo quality is impressive. Colours are vivid. A controller and spare batteries are a must. Favorite mode is the gesture mode with active tracking : it's wild. Safe flying.

I bought one after flying my friends. Its easy to fly but a recommend buying the DJI controller. Using only an iPhone or gesture control is limiting. Flys great but I wish the battery lasted longer. Get 12-15 minutes of airtime tops.

I usually only rate items that are really bad or really good and this is really, really good. I have a Phantom also, but it is so large and complicated that I do not use it as much as I expected. Everything is just so much easier with the Spark and it is small enough to take with you. Pictures and video are solid too. The only thing I could ding it for is bad documentation, but there are plenty of YouTube videos to help cover that weakness.

As my first "real" drone, the DJI Spark was the perfect choice. Easy to get up and running right out of the box. Very durable, easy to pack and transport, and takes beautiful videos! The camera is rock steady throughout any maneuver, even in breezy conditions along the beach. I've already purchased a second battery and plan to get the separate remote control soon. I am very satisfied with this purchase!
