With intelligent flight control options, a mechanical gimbal, and a camera with incredible image quality, Spark empowers you to push your creative boundaries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This thing is teeny mother-effin-tiny. Sacrifices a 4K camera to only offer 1080p and you lose 1 axis of camera movement but\u00a0hey it&#8217;s a drone that can rotate and fill in that gap anyway. The drone also comes controller free, relying on the DJI app and virtual on-screen sticks to control\u00a0it over Wi-Fi however a remote can be purchased separately to extend range and provide tactile input.<\/p>\n<p>The new Spark also\u00a0has the ability to be controlled via gestures for take off, landing, pre-programmed routes (circular, rocket, follow, etc) and is the new standard amongst the drone-consumer selfie market.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-order now, with shipments beginning June 15th. Full disclosure, I bought one!\u00a0Squeeeeeeeeeeeal!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"source-link\"><span class=\"source-link\">Source: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dji.com\/spark?from=homepage_banner\">Spark &#8211; Seize the Moment<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meet Spark, a mini drone that features all of DJI&#8217;s signature technologies, allowing you to seize the moment&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"link","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"reckoner_social_message":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6070"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6070\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
