Can Dji Spark Camera Take 4 K Photo

DJI Spark vs Xiaomi Mi 4K Drone

Two drones that wait very dissimilar, so why am I comparing this two models? Because of they accept a similar price equally you can get them for 400 USD, making them a slap-up starter drone. While DJI Spark is very compact in size information technology simply offers 1080p full Hd video stabilised by a 2-axis gimbal. On the other hand Xiaomi Mi 4K drone seems massive in size, only it tin record 4K resolution videos and offers a higher frame rate in 1080p. Furthermore the video is stabilised by a 3-axis gimbal.

Would be great to have the pocket-sized size of DJI Spark combined with the video capabilities of Xiaomi Mi 4K, right? Well there is: DJI Mavic Pro or DJI Mavic Air. But keep in listen fifty-fifty for the cost of DJI Mavic Air y'all could get both: Spark & MI 4K!
So let's check out which i is more suitable for you:

Size

DJI Spark vs Xiaomi Mi 4K Drone Controller (!)

In terms of size both drones are in a different league. Spark is even smaller than Xiaomi Mi Drone's remote controller. Of course it's super convenient to have such a small drone which you can comport in your pocket. For Xiaomi Mi drone you need a separate backpack to take it with you. Well you can fold the landing gear and detach the gimbal, that's a fleck meliorate to send (at to the lowest degree compared to DJI Phantom series).
Without remote controller DJI Spark is pretty express in its flight capabilities. When flying with just a phone you are limited to 100m / 328ft range and 50m / 164 ft acme. So but with the optional remote controller Spark can compete with Xiaomi Mi in terms of distance & speed.

Battery

DJI Spark vs Mi 4K Drone – Battery

Xiaomi Mi Drone'due south battery is heavier than DJI Spark – the actual drone incl. bombardment! But that results in a longer flight time of course. DJI Spark's bombardment is charged via the drone. When you get for the Wing More than Combo not only a second battery is included, you also go a charging hub for up to 3 batteries. Xiaomi Mi drone has a dedicated charger for one battery. Both batteries concord 4 LEDs which indicated state of charge when y'all press the button next to them.

Xiaomi Mi 4K Drone obviously impresses video & photo enthusiasts: 4K resolution, 2.5K with 60fps and HD with a max. of 100 fps. Furthermore it can shoot RAW photos. The 1080p 30fps of DJI Spark don't really impress, but the quality of the footage looks ameliorate than one would assume. Still if you are into video making, Mi Drone might be meliorate suited – of form if you lot accept the space to accept it with yous.

The manual settings on both drones are not what a photographer / videographer would wish for as they are very limited. With Mi drone you can't fifty-fifty select transmission ISO, with Spark but for photos.

! Notation: you can't utilise other DJI controller for Spark!

Basically you tin fly DJI Spark with your smartphone (or even just with your hands). That'south good for simple selfies and a flake of fun. If you really want to fly your drone – also higher and faster – or adapt your videos and photos, I highly recommend getting the remote controller. It'south more fun and yous can precisely navigate your Spark. Same as the drone itself also the controller is more compact and lighter. On the other hand I think Xiaomi Mi drone's controller is better in hand. Btw you can't wing Xiaomi Mi Drone just with your phone.

DJI Spark's controller connects to your phone via wifi which and so connects to your drone. For Xiaomi you lot get a wifi dongle to connect wirelessly or a microUSB OTG cable is included likewise.

Intelligent Flight Modes & Sensors

DJI Spark vs Mi 4K Drone – App / Flying Modes

• DJI Spark

• GPS: yeah
• Obstacle Avoidance: yes
• Obstacle Tracking: yep
• Gesture Control: yes
• Beginner Mode: available
• Flight Modes:

• GPS: yes
• Obstacle Abstention: no
• Obstacle Tracking: no
• Gesture Command: no
• Beginner Fashion: available
• Flying Modes:
  Circle
  Dronie
  Waypoint
  Tap tp Fly

DJI Spark seems to be the "saver to fly" drone as it offers obstacle avoidance, with Xiaomi there are no sensors that help you to avoid a crash. Gesture control is a squeamish feature on Spark, particularly when you desire some video footage without paying much attention on flight the drone. Still y'all are very limited with the possible upshot. I did a video on gesture command if you want more insights.
In terms of automated flight modes / quick shots DJI Sparks offers a bit more of a pick. On the other hand Xiaomi Mijia offers waypoint flying where y'all can predefine the flying path. A very of import feature missing on Mi 4K drone is active track. Information technology'due south so convenient to marker a subject on the screen and permit Spark follow it. Another neat tool for video filming is tripod fashion which slows the controls to become smoothen shots. Sure yous could change some settings on Xiaomi Mi Drone, but switching to and back from this mode on Spark is mode faster.

I didn't take time to do a proper next comparing, therefore here are some unedited clips from my friend Marco:

Determination

As already mentioned in the beginning: Spark is a small & light drone, easy to carry simply express in video capabilities. Xiaomi Mi 4K Drone offers better resolution video, higher frame rates, higher bitrate and RAW photo, but it is large and heavy. The ideal mix would exist DJI Mavic Air (to start with the everyman priced competitor). But once again for the price of Mavic Air you could buy both Spark and Xiaomi Mi Drone. So if you want to spend around 400 USD to start with a drone the option is: better video features, simply you might not always take it with you due to its size. Or a portable drone yous can always have with you lot without hassle, just with limited video capabilities. Guess it depends on the personal needs which one to get for: are you trying to get videos in the first place or do you plan to fly your drone.
