Sure... A drone that weights around 300g can lift nearly double its weight. :/ What were you expecting? When the 200g didn't work, you should have tried 100g instead, not 400!

Exactly... when 200 is not working... he should have reduced to weight to find what works

[@CLAYNPOTTER1]

always enjoy your review. I should have go with Spark, but Breeze was on sale. 2nd flight (total of 5 minutes), I switched to Orbit mode and it flew some 30 feet fast straight into wall. Broke prop, prop guard, bottom cover (broke the notch that hold the cover in place), broke the glass that covers the sensor, and broke the landing leg. I contacted the support and they told me to upload the flight data. That was about a month ago. No update, no response. Now it's just piece of plastic... 5 minutes of flight for $300. My P4 had never issue even when it hit a concrete ground. Not even a single prop damaged.

Hi tom i've only just come across your channel it's a great channel thank you for sharing I've just had a DJ I phantom three standard flyover electric pylons and then I lost the signal because of the electrical interference it went really really high and then just crashed the ground into a Jurassic rockface where I live it's all smashed into bits May I ask if you were going to buy a drone for a beginner just to use for a little bit of filming which drone should I buy again please Best wishes Darren

Whys there a lot of little “ads” of your website?

[@MarTvOfficial]

the phone died but not the drone..best thing i witness

[@Entropy10101]

While the "testing" was juvenile, it did provide a visual demonstration on how the Spark flies with interference. This I'd not seen on any other video to date, and thank you. On an aside, with all the overwhelming advertising on KZbin, the last thing I want to be subjected to is even more advertising banners, I found the bottom one truly annoying, the removal of which in future videos would enhance the essence of the video and be much appreciated.

Like zac said, dji refresh, 59 dollars and then 2 replacement drones within 1 years for a 29 dollar deductible, if you need the second one it may be a slightly higher deductible, I can’t remember the exact details, from what I understood as long as you don’t lose the spark, as in you must have the drone or the pieces of it and they replace it for you up to two times.

[@doctordrone5692]

You have been reported to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Sparks :) Such a brave little drone! I've had mine for about a year - crashed it into a church tower, it spent the night on the roof in a rain storm; somebody rescued it for me the next day and it flew like a dream. Truly the greatest little drone ever.

[@emsicz]

Great video. I just bought one and I've never had a drone before. This really impressed me as to how sturdy they made it and how much punishment it can take!

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

I have a spark, on the first flight about 10 pigeons swarmed it and knocked it to the ground and it was fine.

[@MannyCAM]

Awesome Tom! But so sorry for your iPhone. Do you have a backup Spark? ...Just in case??

[@NateBuker]

Picking mine up tomorrow. Naturally I won't be trimming trees with it. Nice to know it doesn't retaliate to abuse!

[@willydittrich1225]

when your charge the Spark with extra weight you should put the charge lower (farer from the propellers with a longer rope or wire to hold the extra weight). The air just underneath the propellers thrust the dron to get higher or keep it suspended in the air and it shouldn't be disrupted... I am pretty sure the drone can hold the extra 200g if you try this

[@stuarttalksstuff57]

hi tom got the phantom 4 standerd want something smaller would you recommend the spark thanks

[@joeglennaz]

Great video! What type of car do you have? I've not seen that one over here in the states

[@olivasolivas1]

Just a quick comment and something to think about... At the end you spoke about the barometer and how the Spark was not holding altitude or venturing sideways at hold. I think one could assume that it may be staying low when pulled down, staying high when pushed up, or moving from ground zero when pushed sideways, all as a fail safe from a possible obstacle. This could be viewed as flawed technology or a bonus to the SPARK. I for one see it as a plus for the sake of not moving back to zero if a obstacle has moved or changed its position.

[@TravelswithYoly]

I think the Spark may have performed better in the wind test without the prop guards.

[@absolutekarl]

Brilliant Tom .... by a notable margin, the most entertaining thing I've ever seen ....

[@nucleuscyborg5036]

I lost gps yesterday and my spark flew away and ran into the side of a building from a second floor. You think it’s ok? Based on this video I would say it’s ok. When I went to retrieve it the drone was still on. One of the propeller guards was bent a little keep that one propeller from spinning. I was able to gently bends the guard back into shape. I spun it around with my finger and the propeller was clear of the guard. I’m just getting into drones. This is my first so I really don’t know what I’m doing. A friend has offered to give me lessons. Until then I’ve packed up the spark and it’s assessors. Short answer, do you think he spark is still in working condition? Damaged in any way?

[@phamdna]

How far can you flight with Spark in Europe? I heard that there is some limitation for drone in Europe

[@KeithMoon1980]

Regarding the payload test, I don't think the issue was the weight of the payload, because it was able to get some lift, it was the air resistance caused by the attached bag that caused problems. If you have that weight attached, but with a small additional surface area, it would probably be fine.

[@JoshuaTimothy]

Great durability review, I'd love to see the same test on the mavic pro.

[@downtoearthphotography6655]

Fantastic vid as always Tom and Katrin..... you need an umbrella!!

[@aerialdragondroneservices7451]

Haha, these are low-end tests, Glad you did these for people who don't want to run their spark into a cliffside 100 feet off the ground though! I have had my DJI spark for 4-5 years now, Amazing little drone, especially for the price, I am sad to see it discontinued. that poor little drone was a trainer drone for me. I ran it into a tree 100 feet off the ground, and while the tree didn't break the drone, unfortunately, the fall when it was dislodged did. BUT for $60.00 I was able to replace the broken wings, the damaged motor, the infrared sensor, and its propellors. a second testament to this drone's durability is the cliffside I was mentioning at the beginning of this comment. while flying with low GPS, over a class 3 white water river, I was asked to step off the trail, looking away for just a moment to take a step backward, the GPS lost signal and the drone was caught by a gust of wind, slamming into the side of the cliff wall on the other side of the white water river. remarkably, this little drone while spinning out of control, managed to initiate an RTH, as the GPS signal reconnected, it moved back over the white water rapids and landed safely on my side of the canyon! with the only damage being to the broken propellor which hit the cliff wall.

I dropped my spark on the concrete from my hand about 4 feet up. It still flies n gimbal works perfectly but now where it tells me how high it is on the app it's it says I'm 8 feet when I'm 200 feet up but will tell me the correct hight some times. It also goes up and down when in a hover. It doesn't do it inside it's rock steady and I did an imu calibration, tried different firmware and still does this. I think it messed up the barmetor. Does anyone have any idea's?

I crashed mine in to the tops of some trees at full speed in sport mode. This was January in Alaska just outside Talkeetna where you can get a great view of Denali. There was about 8 feet of snow and the drone dropped pretty deep in, enough i could not find it. I was holding on to branches that are 10 feet in the air when no snow present just so i didn't sink too deep....i crawled around for 30 minutes and could not find it. I went back in mid April to see if i could locate it, and i could not due to snow. I went back again at the end of May and the snow was pretty much completely gone. To my surprise i found it! I turned it on and it had some juice but i could not get it to behave. I was not in to it that much so i shelved it. Fast forward nearly 3 years to today and i got the battery out of hibernation mode. I'm shocked it charges and works perfectly. I can attest they are quite durable, 4 months in Alaska winter and it comes out shining, I'm impressed.

I love the Little Spark, Unfortunately I got it caught in a massive Rain storm on the first day flying it and it had no damage. I wiped it off and let it dry for a day before I used it again. The Wind is way wrong though. I took it up to 400 Feet during a Tropical Depression - No Rain at that moment, but did not have the Guards on. It Fought a 25 MPH wind with 40 MPH Gust. In Fact I often fly this drone in Gusty wind. Good Review, It is a quality drone for sure.
