The Drone wars continue with a potential game-changing release from DJI. Today they announced their new mini-drone called the Spark. The Spark will retail for $499, making it one of the most affordable quality options on the market. Highlights include a 2-axis gimbal and a 12-megapixel lens. It can be controlled by your own palms, smartphone, control, or goggles. In addition, it has preset maneuvers for those who don't have as much of finesse on the controls. 

The drone is obviously designed for the more entry-level consumer, but the size and power of this small machine will undoubtedly "spark" creativity amongst eager filmmakers. Check out the specs below:
