[QUOTE="Edslittleworld, post: 14298, member: 2765"] I have always been a Mavic lover, but it's just not as zippy as my old Parrot Bebop 2. I like low-altitude "barnstorming" and "strafing". So, I went into Best Buy to buy a Bebop 2 on sale for $499 and saw a special on the DJI Spark. So, I bought it as I've had good luck with DJI products. Well...it's very cute. However, that's about it. What I don't like: 1) Video lagginess: I'm still using the WiFi link to the phone and it's VERY laggy. 2) Low range: The range is barely 2500 feet where my Mavic was well over 10,000 feet. 3) Banking: I don't like the severe "banking" image with the Spark. 4) Low light image quality: The image is extremely laggy in lower light conditions. 5) Video washout: The video doesn't seem to auto-adjust like the Mavic with regard to lighting. I'm going to try the direct cable to the phone, but if it doesn't help with the lagginess and image quality...it's probably going back. Plus, I ordered some parabolic antenna boosters to try and improve the range. Has anyone else come to the same conclusion? [/QUOTE]
