I realize most here fly Solo but in case anyone wants a Spark....

just recd UPS confirmation that they will be delivered tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what is inside these boxes-
I opted for the Yuneec Breeze 4K with controller at WalMart on Black Friday for $199! A very, very good price for what you get. Not all the bells and whistles that the Spark has, but for half the price, it will be good enough for the wife and daughter who want something easy to fly when we go to our local spots. I bought 2. They'll be surprised Christmas morning. I'm not absolutely sure(since I haven't opened the box), but it may come with an extra battery too. If so, that just sweetens the deal. I'll have to read the fine print when I get home as to what it includes.I realize most here fly Solo but in case anyone wants a Spark....

Yeah, I have a Mavic Pro too, and it seems everything about a flight is being reported back to DJI's mother-ship. It's a kick to fly and takes exceptional 4K videos, and obviously very portable. Great for hiking into locations and hill tops. The RTH is absolutely the best, as it takes an image of the ground on take-off. I use a landing pad, and it will land back on the pad - precisely where it took-off from. Amazing!The way DJI got so intrusive on its users I'm not seeing any of their drones in my future unless they change their policies.
I do not deny they are great drones. However, the company's policies spoils the user experience.
You're not alone. I'm up to 3 in less than 2 months of buying my first Solo. Plus several mods!Wife wants me to consider joining Solo Anonymous.
She may have a valid point.
You all are aware that everything we do online is monitored right? Shouldn't be any different with air traffic. Especially with recent events, I can live with DJI snooping. As long as one flies responsibly they shouldnt be worried. I can see a Mavic or P4 in my collection soon.
Well I have to agree with Brian. I have no problems being monitored because I’m not doing anything illegal; same way I feel about red-light cameras... I stop when the light is red but I watch a bunch of jackasses run straight through the red-light as if they are in a hurry with total disregard to everybody else’s safety. I have a DJI, it will throw up warnings on occasion- I read them and then close them out. And China can’t be monitoring too closely or a piece of one of their drones wouldn’t have been embedded in that Blackhawk helicopter which was flying above New York at an altitude in excess of 500’.
Ok. I don't feel so bad now.Man I'm almost embarrassed to admit but I am up to 16 solo's and 23 gimbals, been buying 2 batteries a week for the past 3 months on top of what I had prior I lost count. Keep in mind a few of the solos were parts machines that were easily repaired. I won't go into my rc planes and 3d printers, it's consumed my gameroom and spare bedroom hell nobody goes up there but me any way. Newest craze is printinting pieces for my cnc made from conduit!
