The DJI Spark Is The First Drone I Actually Want To Buy

DJI on Wednesday unveiled the Spark drone, the smallest model the popular Chinese dronemaker has released to date. A first for DJI, the Spark can be controlled entirely through hand gestures for quick airborne selfies. Piloting it with an accompanying app allows for a broader array of maneuvers, including flight patterns like "Helix," which mimics Hollywood-style action movie helicopter shots. An optional remote control adds further control options and dramatically increases the range. Like other recent DJI drones, the Spark is capable of detecting and avoiding objects in its flight path.
