DJI is probably the best brand of drones of the moment, however, not all of us can afford to blow one of their “pots”. The almost prohibitive prices for most mortals make other options like JJRC gain more and more market share, although there is no color between them in terms of quality and characteristics. Now, the Chinese company wants to raise the flight again offering us a more affordable model (not cheap) with a handful of pretty interesting specifications. We are talking about DJI Spark.
Features of the DJI Spark drone
The new DJI Spark is the cheapest drone of the firm and the truth is that, despite this significant reduction in price, have done a more than good job as we will see below.
Firstly, it stands out as a very small device with a weight of only 300 grams and dimensions of 143 × 143 × 55 mm , offers us control by remote control, smartphone or gestures . Yes, with Gesture mode, we can fly it with our hands alone, a peculiarity very curious that will certainly revolutionize our way of using the drones.
The flight is one of the things we most consider before buying a drone. In this case, the DJI Spark can reach up to 50 km / h, but unfortunately, autonomy remains the great subject pending of these devices. It is equipped with a battery of 1,480 mAh that will give us only 16 minutes maximum of flight and that no doubt we will know little when we discover the delights of flying.
We go to the connectivity and the camera , two other factors that we must review. In the first case, it offers WiFi 2.4 GHz / 5.8 GHz with a maximum range of 100 meters, while its camera has a CMOS sensor of 12 MP, video transmission in real time of 720p or recording in 1,080p.
Availability And Pricing:
The DJI Spark goes on sale in June and will be available in five colors (white, blue, yellow, green and red). Its price, as we have advanced at the beginning of this article, is the most affordable of its product range, but still not comparable to the cheaper Chinese drones. In principle, we will have two options:
- 599 euros: DJI Spark + two spare propellers + charging cable.(European countries)
- 799 euros: DJI Spark + two spare propellers + charging cable + additional battery + bag + remote control.(European countries)
- But for the Indian market it starts at around ₹43000 for the basic drone only model
- And for $500 in The northern market for the basic model
The DJI Spark is postulated as a very good choice for those looking for a high quality drone, with the guarantees of a large, small and relatively affordable.
