I caught this on the news today, and wondered if anybody had any further information about them:

VERY cool. That could get some great shots on vacation!

I have been reading up about them myself. I agree, could be a very cool toy to play with. Good price point for a following drone.

There is a group on Face Book called 'Flite Test' that does reviews on drones and other flying things that generally stays up to date on the current products. You might check them out.

As someone who know less about Drones, than Hogs do about the Sabbath: I have to wonder how easy it might be to fly? :dontknow:
I've got a lot of potential places to pitch a drone into the air: I'm a complete newbie to them, so I'm trying to shop carefully... nojoke

I ordered one for my wife last night. I have the Mavic Pro and love it.

 

[PrairieSpyder]

Definitely on my Christmas list.

Very cool

But I really need one that I can control via touch screen....Would make life so easy...:dontknow:

This one can actually be controlled by 3 different methods:
conventional controller
A "Mobile Device" (Whatever that is: i assume a smartphone!)
By hand signals! :clap:

i got email form dji yesterday about the spark, the $500 price is a lead in since you will need the controller that runs a few hundred
great drone for those who have nothing better to do then selfies & with hand controls would be a lot of fun.
i love my mavic

saw it today, said you can control it from your phone and it has 16 minutes running time, interesting

I found a comparison video:
Mavic Pro, versus Spark...

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

the spark looks great

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree:, and that's depressing me! :shocked:
Id I can talk the Missus into getting me one: I'm afraid that it's going to cut into my Farkle funds! :yikes: :banghead:
