Hi There, New to forum. I own three machines. A Phantom 3 Advanced that has been to Europe and England a few times. Four hundred plus flights, no mishaps. A Spark, my second one, first did a fly away at three flights in. Sent DJI flight logs and they gave me 100% warranty replacement free shipping. New one is great and I am excited as it is going to be my back country skiing film tool. I fly from mountain tops so reliability is key! Last of all, I recently coped a Parrot Disco at Best Buy for $ 749.00 Can. A good price. Completely different scenario but super impressive autonomous flight capabilities. The ability to launch and let the machine "Loiter" at fifty metres is awesome. Learning to fly FPV and still getting great videos is challenging, Landing methods are key and take practice. It does an autonomous "Spiral" landing which is really sweet. With a "Pitot Tube" on top measuring wind speed it runs almost silent at times when cruising as it adjusts it motor speed. Highly recommend!! Will post some vids soon. Regards, Fastskis
I ordered my Spark almost immediately after the release date on www.aeromotus.com Now, after three months of an active usage I can share my experience. The drone is cool! The only shortcoming is short battery life (around 16 minutes), but this is the problem of all people, we always want more! two extra batteries solved the issue. I take it almost everywhere with me because I travel a lot. I like the way it shots and I like its flight modes. I didn't face any glitches and I always update the software on time. My father used Phantom 3 but this model is already obsolete. Yet still, he never complaint about it.
