I was tempted with the Mavic Air. Anything above the Spark & it's gonna be noisier & all the more $$. I still cannot believe how the remote on the Spark can really reach out. Here's a video from this morning on my first mile ( & then some ....) flight out. I could have gone two miles easily but the schools got in the way. The battery is only good for a good 15 min flight, so that's the draw back. My biggest fear ( & it does happen, is that I'll loose video signal for a second or two at times when I'm way out. I think that's because there might be something blocking the signal, though I'm over 300 ft up at times. I dunno. Fortunately, the drone is smarter than the pilot, & knows what to do. There is a " GPS " mode, which you fly slower & your movement is more more precise. Then there is the " Sport Mode " which you fly at almost 30mph & your movement is jerky. I'm learning. For those who know anything about Longaberger Baskets, you can see the abandoned corporate basket building off in the upper left hand distance. My wife use to work there. I originally thought it would be cool to fly through the handles, but " Kilroy" was already there.
