Cons
Con Camera is not of professional quality
The Spark's camera can't be compared to the cameras of more advanced drones. For example, it's not 4K and it only has 12MP.
Con 2 axis gimbal
The Spark's gimbal only has 2 axis, unlike those with 3 axis of high-end drones.
Con Doesn’t come with a remote by default
The Spark doesn't come with a remote by default. If you get the more basic version, you have to control the drone via an app installed on your smartphone or tablet. If bought separately, the remote costs $149. Getting the Spark's "Fly More" Combo, which includes the remote, among other accessories, costs $699.
Con Short flight time
This drone's maximum flight time is 16 minutes, which can feel quite short.
Con GoPro isn't powered or wired
When you install a camera in the Hexo+, it doesn't receive any commands or power from the drone. You need to start recording on the ground and check you camera battery level before flying.
Con Lacks manual controls
You can't control this drone manually, you can only "direct" it.
Con High price
999$ Is a bit too much for most users, especially when compared to the prices of other drones.
Con Camera not included
Although it comes with a gimbal, the camera is not included.
