Spark

For the first time in consumer electronics, smartphone-controlled drones have entered the fray. The Spark is one of most promising. The Spark is a buzzer-like drone that can be hard to control without professional assistance. However, unlike other drones the Spark isn’t for beginners. It can take several days to learn how it works. It's not the drone for everyone, and drone selfies may still be a long way off.

Spark uses hand gestures for flying. The front lights will turn green when you wave. Simply hold the Spark in your palm, and then wave it. If it senses your face, the drone will take flight and land in you palm. It can be moved left and right, or waved at it to make it disappear. After it has flown you can begin recording videos. Simply return the Y shape to the Spark by moving your hand in front.

Parrot

With Parrot drones, you can control them with your smartphone or tablet. You can instantly upload photos or videos to YouTube and share them with your social media friends. To fly the perfect shot, you can switch between different remote control modes. To avoid a fisheye view, you can switch to autopilot mode. The app makes it easy to navigate and fly your drone. But, using the drone to control your phone is not without its limitations.
