DJI Spark review: 1) it's tiiiny! 2) getting people to wave their arms like maniacs in front of a drone with "gesture mode(??)" is hilarious
-
3) owning the basic body language of vision-based drone remote control is a big deal strategically 4) it does all the things Lily was to
5) a general point, but no drone has yet shipped with clear or obvious controls. Everything is still pretty confusing, lots of room here.

Huh, this photo really made something click for me.

(sudden vision of my niece and nephew as teens with tiny drones just effortlessly accompanying them on trips, taking family photos, &c.)

We're getting there

Has any UI made moving around in 3D space clear or obvious?
-
Not really
-
"Can it see us? Do we have to point the camera down before putting it in gesture mode, or what happens? Is it in gesture mode now?"
-
"Do we have to press buttons when we start it up or can we just use the phone controller?"
-
"Can it see our faces? Whose face is it seeing? What if it doesn't work if you have sunglasses on? etc"

Should I get one?

Like overall yea esp if you're looking for a selfie drone, it's a fun toy
-
The true main best thing about DJI products is stability in wind/gust rejection. There are a bunch of other pixdrones just as fun for less $
-
I want something that takes decent pictures and is easy to fly. Bonus if hackable with a high-level language.
-
I think that this nails 1) and there are no good contenders for 2) or 3)
-
Well, the parrot drone takes pix and is pretty easy and hackable (node). But you don't want to fly that one outside.
