Drone manufacturer DJI has announced a new product in their line-up - the 'Spark' drone, which has a palm-sized body and will retail from $499. Tech Crunch reports:

But aside from size (which let’s be honest, is the most important thing here), the Spark’s got some pretty impressive tricks up its sleeves. It can take off from the palm of your hands and land back in it with little hassle. The demo of the functionality went exactly as planned, which isn’t always the case at these sorts of events, especially given the swamp of cell phone signals that is Grand Central Station.

Even more impressive is a gesture-based control that the press members made audibly excited mumbled comparisons to Star Wars. And yeah, there’s a selfie function, too. Smiling with you arms folded will trigger the picture taking functionality.

As someone who's been trying not to buy a Mavic Pro for some time, this does not help! :blush:
