DJI unveils $499 'spark drone' controlled by hand gestures

Drone company DJI launched a $499 mini camera drone that lifts off from the palm of the hand. It captures and shares photos on the go, and can be controlled by hand gestures alone. It allows users to send the drone up and away, take a selfie and be called with a hand gesture – and weighs less than a can of soda. The drone, called Spark, weighs just 10.6 ounces (300 grams) and can be operated by a remote controller, a mobile device, or via hand gestures. The drone will be sold in five different colors: White, blue, green, red and yellow.
