1 LET’S DO LAUNCH

e Spark’s stubby landing gear means taking off from tricky surfaces like sand or grass isn’t recommended. To avoid getting stuff all over the rotor blades, use the drone’s carry case as a take-off and landing pad. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, launch it right out of your hand using the Gesture piloting mode: power it up, hold it out pointing towards you, then double-tap the power button. It’ll land in your hand too.
