Will DJI Go 4 and P4P get Spark's new flight modes?

And this looks like the new Geo fence they were alluding to...

I was wondering the same thing! I hope it does, some of those look cool!

$499 is too much for this!

The Spark has a "3D" infrared sensor in front, whereas the Mavic and P4P used cameras in front. Might need that infrared in front to work, ruling out some of the gesture modes available on the Spark...

You can do all of this on the P4P.. grab the remote control and go.

The Spark will last long enough to be flown in every inappropriate way conceivable and thus create even more drone bans.

For a lot of people $500 for a Spark is still a lot of money to spend on a first time drone purchase there's plenty of cheaper alternatives for people to get in trouble with , maybe not as feature rich though.

I think DJI needs to focus more on the commercial grade drones for pros that want to use bigger cameras like the Red's. Not just provide the aerial platform but have the integration hardware/software to control various cameras in flight. The S-series and M-series drones seem to be useful aerial platforms, but what appears to be lacking is the camera integration thing and it's there where they need to be better. The Spark is a logical step lower but I don't see them going lower still given the cost for the level of tech they tend to use. The other thing that would be nice is to focus on making all there drones quieter.

True enough, but somehow the Spark seems to bridge the gap from a toy drone to one that could just begin to get a neophyte into some real trouble. Had to happen sometime though.

If these become as popular with young people as I think they will, then hopefully they will force governments to back off some of the strict rules (especially the "prohibition" we have in Canada), rather than turn every one into a lawbreaker.

That's an interesting thought, the more people using drones the stronger the pressure will be on regulators for practical and usable regulations, vs. call an unused, unmanned helipad 4.5 miles away.

I'm betting they sell a crap-load of them.

Of course they will. $499 is not too much considering that the Spark utterly blows away all similarly priced competition.

Can you imagine even 10% of all the selfie/social media addicts suddenly becoming overnight pilots , Oh the Horror...

Hopefully they hold their hand out and back the spark straight into a wall.

Better than a Bebop 2 for six hundred smackers.

I've seen them on-line for $550 and try come with a controller and vr googles and 25 min fight time.

I think this is a better deal for a selfie drone. $300 on Banggood. Gps/glonas, follow me, rth, orbit, vps, face recognition,brushless motors,12 min flight time and some other cool features. Along with being foldable and smaller. Only drawback no optional controller.
