Hello I'm Lok and taking video is what I passionated about.
Have been thinking about getting a drone forever
but then I met the Spark
and it's on sale!
But this is the coolest bit
I'm a Jedi Master!
Still it flyies as good as any other bigger drones
I can't wait to see where technology takes me next!
Alright! I hope you get the joke of that video
but anyway I've gotten my drone finally
I've got this ... DJI Spark fly more combo
and... well you've seen enough unboxing so I'm not going into detail of it
actually I've already opened it
Believe me if you are buying a DJI Spark you will want to buy
the fly more combo because well if you getting a Spark trust me you need
one more battery and then you need the remote control
If you buy the Spark by itself and then add a battery and then a remote control
The price add up that is almost you can buy the fly more combo
and with the fly more combo you got the
battery charging dock so you can charge three at the same time actually one more
on the drone itself so at the same time you can charge four battery
Without this you have to put it in the drone itself to charge one after one
And the of course and the bag. So you should get the fly more combo and then
You should get the DJI Care as well I mean... well you should consider it
I think it's good value... how much is it...
Yeah for 60 bucks it cover two accidents if you crash it or
land it in water they just replace new one for you so I think it's a really good value
I've got it but I'm not saying that I'm going to crash it I'm really
good at flying I've got good record but it's just
high risk anyway! I mean
flying a camera on the air
I have confidence it just... just give me a peace of mind
Yeah get DJI Care, buy a peace of mind
So anyway this is the video about
why did I get the DJI Spark, not the "better" Mavic and Phantom
Well I have been saying that I'm going to get a drone... I'm going to get a drone...
What makes me suddenly decided?
Winter sale! A $100 less...
What's that!? A cow? Going up this high!
I don't know they go up that high!
Well seriously a Mavic, Mavic is great
Folds up it's not that much bigger than this. For the price of the Mavic
I have to think about, I have to seriously think about how many times I
would actually fly it, if I bought it and then I just fly it like three times a year it doesn't
Mavic is the price of a good mirrorless camera... this,
it's just the price of a phone! I mean, actually my iPhone X cost more than
this and it don't fly... obviously it don't go on the web but there you go!
This is more expensive than this!
And the winter sale it just, all right I just have to get it
You win, DJI!
Another reason of course it's light
and small especially when you are carrying it on hiking up onto mountains
Oh bullshit
I mean if you know me I keep talking about light gear
As you can see how thin I am, I'm like a stick man!
Of course I want the lightest gear possible
Bloody windy here
Of course it's so much easier to carry this up on the hill
and then this is I think the best way to carry it
because these propellers would catch on things in your bag and I don't want to carry that
original case with this because it makes it so much bigger
Throw it in a bag, protect the propelles, protect the delicate gimbal, this tiny gimbal
So, just like that, put in a bag, safe!
Oh gosh sand in my eye
Well talking about how light is this
This is just... this is lighter than a bottle of water
Actually I just find out this bag that comes with the fly more combo it's
really quite neatly
Look at that the remote control's here, the drone's here and then
there are two space for your extra battery if you've got like totally three of them
Like here you've got a space for battery
Just look at it, it just like part of the nature
It's so innocent, so pure
I mean if you have a Phantom 4, you bring out the big box, bring out the huge
Phantom 4 and the huge remote controller, the remote control is bigger than that and
then connect your iPhone or iPad on it, wire this and that everyone knows you're
up to something
It just looks so serious. Why so serious?
This? It just looks like a toy car.
When I fly a drone, I don't want attention
I don't mean I'm planning to fly this illegally but if you have been stopped for shooting
but you should be allowed to shoot at that location,
you know what I'm talking about. Just don't want attendion.
Well when I first heard about the DJI Spark, I thought it only fly indoor
It don't fight well outdoor, maybe because all the rumors about it is a selfie drone
Turns out it fly really well, even outdoor.
I mean Hong Kong could be pretty windy, it's on the edge of the sea! But, it fly really really well
I mean I have already flew it in New Zealand by the sea
It cope with it really well!
Oh my god I dressed almost exactly the same
Well anyway this is when I flew a Spark in Piha Beach, New Zealand
The wind speed limit of the Spark indeed lower than Mavic and Phantom 4
But a normal day like this, the Spark just perform like its bigger brothers
It has almost everything a bigger drone has, like the optical sensing system
I have it directly fly into me
It just stop there
When I first done a video about Spark, I didn't have the remote control
It disconnect from my iPad, but still able to return to exactly where it took off
Just like the Mavic
What else? It even got sport mode
The sport mode is really scary because look at that!
And even got those intelligent fly mode
which is the QuickShot
Target is me... done
Dronie, go!
(Computer voice) Three, two, one
Handfree! I'm not doing anything it just shoot the video itself
There are in total 4 QuickShots
There's also ActiveTrack, just like what Mavic has
which I've used to film two shots for the spoof ad at the beginning of this video
It might only be 1080p footage but the footage are good
Shame it doesn't has log profile, no 4k, but if you keep the limitations in mind
You could get good results that nobody can tell it is from a toy looking drone
So if you're like me who can live without 4K and log profile
I highly recommend the DJI Spark. You can get most feature from a bigger drone
like Mavic and Phantom, in this much smaller lighter and cheaper package
