If I were feeling cynical, I’d call the recently released DJI Spark a decadent, over-specced selfie stick. But, even as a self-confessed drone sceptic, I was slightly won over by its charms, and some very cool, fun and easy-to-use technology.

The Spark is properly portable and really does fit into the palm of your hand, although you would probably want to transport it in the slightly bulkier protective case. There are no fiddly bits to assemble, or lose – you just angle the propellers correctly and launch it from your hand.
