[QUOTE="Sooner4lifejj, post: 26895, member: 3839"] Hey Nathan, welcome to the forum. Sorry for the delay in responding. I only fly for recreational. I really like the MP, was just getting used to flying and fall and the cold hit and I haven't been out in a couple of months. I got it mostly to get above the buildings and take sunrise and sunset pictures. Still toying around with that as was more focused on learning to fly. This was my first drone, so I had a lot to learn. My son had bought the Spark and I had flown it a couple of times and really liked it. I would usually try to find a wide open area to fly the MP and that could hinder me sometimes, but with the Spark, I can take it out in the backyard and in a lot smaller areas to fly, so I was using it to hone my flying skills. It's quick to get in the air and start flying. The short battery life is a drawback, but adding a couple of batteries solves that. It really takes some good photos and video also.
