Introducing the DJI Spark Mini Quadcopter

The DJI Spark is the latest consumer quadcopter from the market leader in drone manufacture. With tonnes of functionality packed into an aircraft that’s smaller than their popular foldable Mavic Pro, this affordable unit is aimed at hobbyists looking to have a great time with a solid platform. The Spark also comes in a range of colours for those of you who like to put a personal stamp on your gear.

 

1.Key Features

    Before we delve into DJI’s new quadcopter in more detail, here are the main things you need to know  about the Spark:

   . Capable of 31mph in Sport Mode
   . 16 minutes of flight time
   . A 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor captures video at 1080p and stills at 12MP
   . Plenty of shooting options including advanced gesture control
   . All the familiar intelligent camera modes are included plus Pano & ShallowFocus
   . Use the Spark’s controller, your mobile device or even hand gestures (PalmControl) to fly the Spark

2.The DJI Spark Has Landed

Featuring an aerodynamic, lightweight design, the DJI Spark‘s sleek design is optimised for minimal wind resistance. The front-mounted gimbal and camera are flush with the aircraft which increases the overall stability of the system.

A powerful 50kph of propulsion means you can expect a steady flight at speeds of up to 31mph in Sport Mode. DJI has also developed an advanced flight control system to make flying even more fun and intuitive.

Controlled via a new remote controller, your mobile device or even your hands, the DJI Spark signals the next generation of intuitive drone operation.

3.Battery  and fetures

The DJI Spark uses a high-energy density LiPo battery and features 12 intelligent protection features which ensure greater safety during flights. Additionally, the mini drone’s battery can estimate remaining flight times, which offers a heads up on when to land in real-time. Additionally, an innovative HD Wi-Fi system allows 720p video transmission from up to 2km away. Even with all of its smart features, you can get up to 16 minutes of flight with a fully-charged battery, allowing you to capture more footage.

 DJI has designed the Spark’s camera to ensure that all imagery us consistently sharp with little-to-none color aberration and distortion. Featuring a f/2.6 wide-angle lens with a 25mm equivalent focal length, the camera’s five elements are arranged into a single group that fit into a compressed frame.

Small and compact like the drone itself, the camera features a 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor which allows for stabilised video at 1080p and stills at 12MP. The use of larger pixels means that the DJI Spark is sensitive to light and can record colours with precision. Keeping the camera in place is the 2-axis mechanical gimbal coupled with UltraSmooth technology which dramatically reduces shake and rolling shutter effects.
