Released in May 2017, the Spark (晓) was designed to be an affordable consumer drone that is nevertheless capable of producing high-quality images and video.
It features a 12-megapixel camera capable of shooting 1080p video at 30fps.
The camera is stabilised mechanically by a 2-axis gimbal.
The Spark also carries an advanced infrared 3D camera that helps the drone to detect obstacles in front of it, as well as facilitating hand-gesture control—a feature that was, until the release of the Mavic Air in January 2018, unique to the Spark.
In addition to a smartphone app with virtual controller, a physical controller can also be bought, extending the drone's range up to 1.2 miles (2 km).
The aircraft has a flight duration of up to 16 minutes, but its exhausted battery can easily be swapped out for a charged battery to extend flight time.

There have been multiple complaints that the drone could switch off and fall while flying.
DJI responded to this by releasing a mandatory battery firmware update in August 2017.

In November 2019 the Mavic Mini was released, replacing the Spark in DJI's consumer line-up.
