A Comparison of the DJI Spark, Mavic Pro, and Phantom 4 Pro Video Quality

If there's one thing no one can accuse DJI of, it's having too few drones for consumers to choose from. If you're looking to purchase the Spark, Mavic Pro, or Phantom 4 Pro, this quick comparison will give you a glimpse at the relative video quality between the three popular options.

In this helpful video from Billy Kyle, you'll see similar footage from the DJI Spark, Mavic Pro, and Phantom 4 Pro (I can't help but feel this is a flying version of the "Goldilocks" story). With each drone, you get a different feature set, but one of the main tradeoffs is portability versus image quality. While I love my Phantom 4 Pro dearly and I think it was the clear winner in this comparison, I was seriously impressed by the Spark's capabilities, and I find myself even more tempted to pick up one (it's just so impossibly adorable!). And of course, the Mavic Pro seems to represent a real sweet spot of size and quality for a lot of pros. I personally don't mind the extra size and weight of my Phantom 4 Pro, but of course, we all feel differently about that, so give the video a watch to see what's acceptable for your taste.
