Unless you’re a creative professional or need to inspect remote power lines without getting
electrocuted, you probably don’t need a drone. That’s what makes buying one so tricky. The best consumer drone on the market right now—at least in my opinion—is the DJI Mavic Pro, but the $1,000+ price tag (which only goes up when you consider the mostly-necessary add-ons) reserves it for serious enthusiasts or the top-hat-and-monocle set for which $1,000 wouldn’t even cover their weekly caviar budget.
Enter the DJI Spark. Not only does it try to bring the price down closer to impulse purchase territory, but it also tries to reduce the learning curve required to send a craft up in the air.
