DJI Spark Fly More Combo

The tiny quadcopter from the trendsetter in the drone industry, the Chinese company DJI, is ready to soar into the clouds without serious preliminary preparations and “dancing with a tambourine” to control the flight. It is enough to remove the copter from the transport case and give it the command to take off, which will take only a few seconds.

Extended equipment

In flight, DJI Spark develops a speed of up to 50 km/h, transmitting a picture to the operator from a distance of up to 2 km. We can talk about such a distance only when using the remote control from the Fly More Combo package as a controller, because. when controlling the drone purely from a smartphone, the communication range is about 100 m. The extended set of accessories also includes a shoulder bag, a hub for charging a trinity of batteries, an additional battery, a set of spare propellers and propeller protection.

Flight

Depending on the strength of the wind, a flight on a single battery charge lasts an average of 14-16 minutes. At the same time, the drone produces video footage from the air in FullHD format (1920x1080 pixels). The resulting image is stabilized by a 2-axis camera gimbal, the lens of which “looks” at the surrounding reality with a viewing angle of about 82 °. The camera is also used to control the quadcopter with gestures. For example, you can set the flight direction to it, and if you wave your hand to the drone and fold your fingers in the form of a frame, the drone will take a photo.

Compact above all else

In a tiny body, DJI Spark managed to allocate a patch of free space for sensors to ensure flight safety, which allows the quadcopter to automatically recognize obstacles and avoid them when moving through the air. And in the event of a low battery level, the drone itself returns to the starting point from which it was launched. “Sparka” was not “lifted up” except for a foldable design, but even without it, the copter takes up a minimum of space among luggage, turning into a noteworthy option for travel video bloggers and being a good solution for everyday flights.
