[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 98573, member: 18605"] Good point and likely spot on. Until recently, DJI rolled out incrementally improved models adding features like more obstacle sensors and marginally improved range. The Spark, along with the Mavic Pro, are the oldest in the stable. Mavic Air's price point/feature set was a surprise and may have cut into the Mavic Pro's market. With the announced delay earlier this summer of whatever a "Spark 2" is, DJI's online store showing out-of-stock on the Fly More and Remote combos, makes me wonder if they're depleting whatever remains of the Spark inventory. There are a lot of foldable camera drones out there with GPS, track/orbit/RTH/etc features, remote, some gimballed, WITH waypoints for around half Spark's price. In total, most fall short of Spark performance, so there's still a niche for what Spark. DJI's release of SDK allowing third parties access may have signaled DJI's withdrawal from further development beyond what is required to maintain a safe, usable platform with existing features. With less consumer drone competition, they probably aren't feeling the pressure of a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
