The DJI spark is a diminutive drone that just screams to be put in your bag and taken everywhere you go. It's likely to appeal to all levels of users thanks to its extremely compact size and strong feature set, but this miniaturization does come at a cost. Compared to most larger models it has shorter battery life. This does not come with a controller but can be operated from the DJI app. It has only be flown less than 1 hour. It sat in it's box for years so the battery needed to be replaced which I did so it has a brand new battery. The drone does have a follow me feature and does respond to hand gestures.
