like I said on my in this review I love my D desk I call it Johnny if you know what's moving out from comment below but this isn't the only John you can get for five hundred dollars you can also get the DJI phantom 3 standard but depending on who you are and what you plan to do with your job you'll be better off with one with the other so once your own is right for you let's find out don't forget to Like comment and subscribe so let's go over what comes in each box because there is a big difference the DJI sport comes in a few colorways you get the drone some replacement propellers a micro USB cable in a wall adapter for charging in a carrying case if you want a dedicated controller you have to pay an extra 150 dollars and I'll go into detail about the benefits of the controller later in this video for the same $500 the DJI phantom 3 standard comes included with a dedicated controller a power brick for charging the battery and extra propellers as well if you want to pick either of these drones up I'll have links in the description below and I'll keep them updated so you can get the best view as possible and if you're looking for deals on other drones check out my friends over at red nose calm now let's address the elephant in the room the DJI phantom is huge compared to the spark the battery pack in the Phantom is the same size of the body of the spark the t GI spark is basically the size of my iPhone 6s plus the size of the DJI sparks does have its pros and cons it's super easy to take with you almost anywhere its small enough that if you're leaving the house in a rush and you realize you forgot your spark you'll run back in to get it whereas if you forget to phantom you first think ah do I really want to lug that thing around because remember you're not just taking no phantom you also have to take the controller but the bigger size of the phantom 3 does have its benefits first starters is much easier to see when you fly it's also much more stable in windy environment because if the sport gets caught in a gust of wind it's going to get it pretty hard to control but the smaller size of the spark makes it look inconspicuous and the majority of the people don't notice it or they just think it's a toy but when people see the larger phantom 3 they know you're flying a drone and they get scared is going to fall on them or something and also the DJI spark is much quieter than the Phantom 3 the size of the doll also plays a part and the value lies at fly time and this year's fourth of July cookout everyone kept asking about the DJI spark and the first question was about berry later when I told them it was good for sixty minutes of flight time and it took 80 minutes to charge they were get disappointed in comparison the DJI phantom 3 is good for twenty seven minutes of flight time but here's the thing you can charge the DJI spark with the microUSB cable making it super easy with the Phantom you have to take out the battery without a proprietary charging cable and turns it that way chances are if you're watching this awesome video is because you're looking into your first drum so you might be wondering which one is easier to fly without a doubt the DJI spark is super easy to control it's perfect for any beginner you have multiple ways to control it first you can use gestures where it will hover in front of you and you can use your hand to adjust its position you can even wave at it and it will fly back and up to get a bird's-eye view of you and you can tell it to take a picture of you by making a frame with your fingers you can also use your phone to manually fly it and you'll get a live feed on what your drums just keep in mind the controls feel a little dull but it's good for beginners you can also use tap to fly and even highlight people and objects and the drone will automatically follow the Phantom three on the other hand comes included with the controller a controller that's the same size of the DJI sparks carrying case but with this controller you get much better control of your drone and you can fly the Phantom much more aggressively then spark you still have to pair your phone so you can get a live feed of all your drone seeds as well the controller also lets you fly the DJI phantom much higher and farther than the DJI spark since you have a dedicated radio and controller for the Phantom 3 you can fly the drone to a max range of a thousand meters or 0.62 miles whereas if you're flying the DJI spark with your phone you're relying to your phone's Wi-Fi signal strength and that will give you Sparkle range of 100 meters or 300 feet if you were to spring for the $150 controller the DJI sparks range will get bumped up to 1.2 kilometers or 0.75 miles the controls also get much sharper and you'll be able to fly to DJI spark at a max speed of 31 miles per hour but just remember you still have to keep the controller of the DJI phantom charged a full charge is good for two and a half hours and it charges via microUSB cable and it takes 2 hours to charge from zero now let's talk about the camera and gimbal systems on these drones the DJI spark has a 12 megapixel camera and it can capture video at 1080p 30 frames per second I would have really liked if we could do 60 frames per second instead the DJI phantom also has a 12 megapixel camera but it can capture video at 2.7 K at 30 frames per second which means more detail you can also do 1080p at 30 frames per second or 720p at 60 frames per second basically you get more options and better video quality from the Phantom 3 the DJI spark houses its camera in a two axis gimbal a good comp it's safe for pitch and roll but not yaw the Phantom 3 has a 3 axis gimbal and it can compensate for every direction this means the video quality and the Phantom 3 is also much smoother don't get me wrong the DJI spark has smooth video quality as well but you will notice a little shakiness from time to time concerning sensors the DJI spark has a 3d sensing system on the front of the device this sensor detects objects tell you how far things in the live feed and it'll even automatically stop the spark from crashing into something if things get too close when I started flying this system saved my butt multiple times there's also another sensor on the belly of this point that can help detect objects below it crashing the DJI spark is hard unless you're flying from side to side having the 3d sensing system is like having a co-pilot with you the Phantom 3 unfortunately has no such sensors so it all comes down to you it's not going to save you from close calls like the DJI spark can the DJI spark small-size combined with this 3d sensing system makes it super easy to fly even when indoors on the other hand I wouldn't dare fly defending three indoors what do these drones connect the DJ eyes go up both of these apps do relatively the same thing you start up the app when you're going to flying and you get a live feed of what the drone sees you can toggle settings activate different flight modes and features and even get live GPS positioning if you lose sight of your drone while flying you can also manage your video recordings and pictures taken with your jump you can even use the auto edit feature to create a 30-second video on the fly to share on social media with clips you select I really don't have any complaint on the GI Zapp's so for $500 both of these drones are very capable and they perform better in certain situations than the other the DCI spark is great if you want a small John you can take with you anywhere and fly indoors and outdoors if you want to get videos and selfies of yourself and loved ones at this year's cookout or at the Beast to share on social media then the spark is the way to go you do lose out on battery life and range but the spark is better suited for personal use you're better off getting to DJI phantom 3 if you want to fly your drone long distances if you want to get epic landscapes shot or if you're trying to produce higher quality video content you get much more range or longer battery life and a much more capable camera and gimbal system but you don't get the convenience the spark has to offer and even though the spark is small don't underestimate its capabilities if you decide to upgrade to the $150 controller you get to fly the spark much more aggressively and you get much more range out of it I really don't think one drone is better than the other it comes down to what your needs are hey if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe
