Best Accessories for the DJI Spark
The DJI Spark on alone is awesome enough, but what if we told you that you could enhance your flight and make it that much better? After all, your drone is only as good as what you can do with it, which means you’re going to need a couple of things before you hit the skies.
For those who may have missed it, the Spark by DJI is one of the latest and greatest drones we’ve had the pleasure of using. For around $500 you’re getting a 2-axis stabilized camera, HD videos, controls that work using your hands and fingers, and a lot more cool stuff. DJI has improved their stabilization system impeccably, so this is one drone you don’t want to miss.
Although we want to make the DJI Spark better, so we’ve created this list as a way to give you a full rundown in maximizing the experience you can have when using your Spark in the field.
Best Accesories for the DJI Spark Mini Drone
DJI Spark Battery Charging Hub
When it comes to having the best DJI Spark accessories, never overlook investing in a battery charging hub. For optimal battery life when using your drone in the field, nothing is worse than having to leave less than 20 minutes after you’ve arrived because your battery’s dead.
Listed below are the specs:
– You can charge up to 3 Spark batteries at one time
– The intelligent current-limiting feature ensures that your battery life is as prolonged as possible
– The charge time for the hub with 3 Spark batteries is approximately 90 minutes
– Compatible with MB1, 1480 mAh and 11.4 V LiPo batteries
Weighs less than a point with a total size of 1”x1”x1”
The DJI Spark battery charger is currently going for $70. You can opt for a 4-year accident protection plan for $20 or a 3-year accident protection plan for $14.
Extra Batteries for the DJI Spark
Even though a single charge lasts for 16 minutes, you’re not going to get very far on one DJI Spark battery. To maximize your flight time and fly for as long as you like, you’re going to need some extra batteries on hand while in the field.
Listed below are the specs:
– Has a battery life that lasts up to 16 minutes
– Includes 12 intelligent protection functions to ensure you have a safe flight
– You are able to check your flight time and how much battery life is left while your DJI Spark is currently in the air
– 1480 mAh with a voltage of 11.4 V
– Has a flight speed of up to 12.4 mph, or 20 kph, when there is little to no wind for better handling when using the DJI Spark remote controller
– Weighs 3.4 ounces with a total size of 1”x1”x1”
An extra DJI Spark battery can be bought new or used and is averaging at around $50 at this time of writing.
DJI Spark Propeller Guards
One of our go-to DJI Spark accessories would definitely have to be the propeller guards. Though the propellers aren’t flimsy or cheaply made in any way, it’s always best to have them to ensure that nothing becomes damaged or broken when transporting, if a crash should occur, etc.
Listed below are the specs:
– Easily mounted and detached when necessary
– Improves the safety of your flight
– Ensures that people, animals, and objects are protected from the spinning propellers
– Each propeller guard weighs less than a pound
A set of 4 DJI Spark propeller guards can be purchased for around $20, which is definitely a massive bargain.
DJI Spark Propellers
Even if you don’t need them at this moment or never switch your propellers for fresh ones, having an extra set on you at all times when out in the field is an absolute must. A charging hub, extra batteries, and propeller guards are useless if your only set of propellers become damaged or broken, so you should always have an extra set in your accessories bag.
Listed below are the specs:
– Includes 2 pairs of DJI genuine 4730S propellers – 4 propellers total
– Foldable and durable design that allows you to mount them on the Spark with complete ease
– The push-like function allows you to push them on and off rather quickly
– Has a diameter and thread pitch of 4.7”x3.0” with a weight for 1 propeller at approximately 2.5g
At this time of writing, these extra propellers cost around $20 for a total of 4 propellers.
DJI Spark Remote Controller
The DJI Spark is able to be controlled using your smart phone, but wouldn’t you rather have better handling and control using an actual DJI Spark remote controller? The Spark has a limited range when you use a smart phone to fly it, but the controller works much better in a number of ways.
Listed below are the specs:
– Includes a video transmission range of up to 1.2 mi or 2 km
– Boasts a maximum speed of up to 31 mph or 50 kph when you are using the Spark in Sport Mode
– Compared to using your smart phone you have better handling and can fly more freely and securely knowing you have a real controller in your hand
– Uses a brand new WiFi signal transmission system to help boost your signal and keep full control over the drone
– Works with the gimbal camera at a maximum transmission distance of up to 1.2 mi or 2 km
– Able to connect to your mobile or smart phone device wireless to display a live video feed through the DJI GO 4 app
– Has folding clamps which allow you to attach your smart phone securely to the controller
– Has a maximum battery life of approximately 2.5 hours
– Includes a maximum transmission distance (FFC) in an area that is fully wide open with no interference to an altitude of up to 120 meters
At this time of writing, the DJI Spark remote controller starts at around $150. While the price may seem like a step one, it’s definitely worlds better when compared to using your smart phone.
