DJI’s Spark Mini Drone
The smaller and more affordable DJI spark drone arrived today. It’s an easy-to-fly mini drone that features all of DJI’s signature technologies, including intelligent flight control options, a mechanical gimbal, and a 1080p camera.
One of the interesting new features in spark is that the drone can take off from your hand and be controlled by hand gestures and it automatically enters Gesture Mode when it takes off from your hand. You can also control with smartphone.
This mini drone has a new Quick Shot Intelligent Flight Mode, will fly along a present flight path while recording a short video and track a subject along the way and also Rocket, Dronie, Circle, and Helix modes are available to send the Spark on different flight tracks to create different visual effects. Moreover it has previous Intelligent Flight Modes such as Tap Fly and Active Track are also available.
Spark’s camera is designed with two-axis gimbal and can capture 1080p video and 12-megapixel photos. Drone can shoot one minute of footage and edit it down to 10 seconds for you to share.
