DJI Spark FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions
The Spark is significantly lighter than the Mavic, but has lots of the same features. However, it also adds the Quickshot functions. The camera might be slightly lower spec on the Spark when compared to the Mavic, but it's still capable of producing excellent 1080p footage and 12mp stills.

It's by no means essential! There are a number of options, you can use your mobile device (iOS or Android) through the DJI GO4 app, with the Spark Remote Control or using the DJI Goggles.
No - as much as we'd like it to be, the Spark is not IP rated, and not waterproof.
Shallowfocus and Pano functions. Panoramas can be taken horizontally or vertically. The Shallowfocus function creates shallow depth of field in your photos using 3D vision technology.
Yes indeed - the Spark can save it's images and video to either an onboard SD card, or to your mobile device.
This mini quadcopter can avoid obstacles 16ft (5m) in front of it, up to a maximum speed of 3 m/s.
The propellers on the Spark fold up, so there's no need to remove them before transporting your drone.
The official word from DJI is that the Spark can "withstand wind speeds between 13 - 18mph".
The estimated latency during live transmission is 200ms. Various environmental factors can affect this though.
If you're using your mobile device to fly, the transmission is over Wifi. Therefore the DJI Spark's maxmium distance will be 100m and maximum height will be 50m.
Using the remote controller, you can get a maximum of up to 2km (1.2 miles) depending on your region.
In the UK the remote control has a maximum range of around 500m (0.3 miles).
You can use the included USB cable to charge the Spark's battery, or use a charging hub to charge more than one battery at a time from the mains.
Using a USB charger, up to 80 minutes, or using the charging hub, it can go down as low as 52 minutes to fully charge a battery.
No - DJI have officially classified it as a 'mini drone'. It's certainly fast enough - but we wouldn't classify it as a racing drone.
