- So today, I'm gonna be showing you guys the DJI Spark.
It fits in the palm of my hand,
and not only does it fit in the palm of my hand,
but it will actually take off
and land again in the palm of my hand.
(drone propellers accelerating)
(high-pitch propeller noise)
So this tiny little palm-sized drone
is probably one of the coolest things that I've seen
in a really, really long time.
What I love most about this is
it really is a beginner drone.
If you've never touched a drone before,
this is pretty much the easiest thing
that I've ever seen.
It has front obstacle-avoidance sensors
which is one thing that most smaller drones don't have.
So if you guys are familiar with the Mavic,
there's two modes: there's an RC mode,
and there's a wifi mode.
So on here, this essentially creates a hotspot,
you connect to the hotspot on your phone.
Here's the camera, it's a 1080p camera,
you can fly this for about 15 to 16 minutes
in the air, which is a pretty long time
for something so small.
So for battery size comparison,
here's the Mavic battery, and here's the Spark battery.
The cool thing with this is you actually don't need
to do anything. You don't need a controller,
you don't need your phone, it can be controlled
completely with gesture controls.
So I'm gonna try the gesture controls without syncing it
to my phone, and if you do the palm take-off and landing,
it's recommended that you put the prop-guards
on for safety reasons.
So these just clip off, just like that,
and they go underneath of the propellers,
snap it on. That's it.
So to do the palm take-off and landing,
you need to turn it on, and then as soon as you see
the lights start flashing, you then press it two times.
It will recognize your face, and as it starts taking off,
you can remove your hand, and that's it.
It just works.
(drone beeps twice)
(propellers whirring) (gasps)
So I'm controlling it.
Don't get too close. - [Camera Woman] Oh god.
- And so right now I'm controlling it with my palm.
Are you ready to land, Jen?
- [Camera Woman] Yeah! - Let's land.
(drone propellers stop) (♪ upbeat music)
- [Camera Woman] Wow. (♪ upbeat music)
- Much like the Mavic, these are very similar,
you just kind of push down and pop them off.
My nail polish is hideous, I'm so sorry. It was a mistake.
I've got this cute little carrying case, though,
where you can just pop 'em right in and be on your way.
This is like the size of some of
my headphone cases that I have.
For size comparison to the iPhone,
like, it's pretty small.
I mean, this thing is so tiny.
This turns into a wifi hotspot,
so if it's the first time that you're using this,
there will be a wifi that you need to connect to.
On the box, and on the drone itself,
it has the wifi network and the password.
So, once you enter that and connect to it,
it will show up, and then open up the app,
and that will allow you to enter into the device.
As you see here,
this is the drone.
See, here you have your controls.
Depending on how you have your joystick set up,
this will raise it up, this will raise it down,
this is your direction joysticks,
but one of the coolest things that I found
is this little switch right here.
So when you hit this little button,
so that will allow you to move the camera up
and the camera down.
Oh, no. It wants me to take-off. Should I?
(propellers whirring) Oh boy!
Here we go, oh gosh! Oh, no. Okay.
We're moving forward. We're moving forward.
That's my office. Oh, boy. And there I am.
Oh gosh, no, that's too close to the wall,
too close to the wall. (propellers whirring)
(propellers stop) and that's the DJI Spark.
Let's check out some of the footage
that I just shot with this. (♪ upbeat, bass-heavy music)
Okay I'm gonna try the palm-landing.
(gasps) It's nuts. It's absolutely crazy.
