WOW! I was searching to buy for a DJI Drone Spark and stumbled upon this Combo Deal on Maplin. Bought 2 straight away, for Christmas and Birthday gift because when its gone, its gone.

Took a look and it said "coming soon" rather than in stock. Someone is lucky to have you getting them one for their birthday!

Hey Longy, this is weird. I just bought 2 units, 20 mins ago on maplin.co.uk/p/d…6xu?

And thats why thought all in the community should know. Try again and might work.

So tempted. Just worried about taking it on a plane.

As above it says coming soon.

Buy now collect in 3 days

Yes have placed order for Home Delivery in 3 to 5 days. But very excited to get my hands on this drone as my nephew is going to love it.

This is the standard price everywhere so I am not sure this is a hot deal.

5.05% top cash back too don't forget folks.

Sorry just to correct cashback - 5.5% and yes i did get it through them.

Mines only tracking £29.41 and saying I've only spent £582.50?

I see it is in stock at John Lewis with 2 year warranty.

Cash back is on amount without vat

I cancelled mine with maplin done John Lewis will have it to me by tomo and 2 years warrantee is better than the cashback

Spark, Mavic or Phantom?

Is this a good price? I sell these for £640?

Mavic

I took my unopened dji spark back to maplin to swap for fly more combo. They said they will have it in store tomorrow and if I pay the difference upfront instead of refund they will give me 5% off! Win win!

Where do you sell them?

Mavic!! Great toy!!

Depends on your needs. Spark for first time flyers or for fun and max portability and budget. Mavic for professional video and portability. I personally wouldn't buy a phantom any more, it's size seems to big compared to mavic. But if you are on a budget and also want more professional video then it's a great choice!

If you can save a little bit more buy the Mavic.

Any idea when this will be available in store?
As I wish to use my nus card for further discount.

Mavic!! Great toy!!

Maplin do student discount or John Lewis?

That's too much money for this package.

Student discount in store at maplin

OP, do you work for Maplin?

DJI customer service / repair service is absolutely dreadful!

I bought a DJI Osmo Mobile back in Jan - it arrived with a faulty power switch, they asked me to send it back to them which I did.....its been over 6 months and I still haven't had it back, and this is with constant chasing.

i'm not the only one, their community pages are filled with horror stories.

personally I wouldn't purchase another DJI product until they have sorted out their after sales service.

Well that's one gadget I won't be going any further with then. Thanks for the feedback.

Hmmm ... The OP is buying tech gifts for Xmas in July... ORLY?

DJI are a joke.

The DJI go app is a disgrace on android.

Bought a Mavic which constantly disconnected with my S8. Got an old S6 as that was on the supported list, still got random disconnections to aircraft with one at same time as a compass error and almost lost it.
Was told by support to get an apple device so packed it up and sent back to retailer.

Great devices let down by poor software and worse customer service.

If your using on Android I'd give DJI a miss. They have known for months about the issues with nougat but have done nothing about it.
Looks like people are having exact same disconnected issues with spark as Mavic.

How much do you sell them for? What's cost price?

Can someone pls explain how is this HOT? £699 is its RRP with this bundle isn it? Im so confused now

Bought the Mavic fly more combo a few weeks ago and it's pretty amazing. If you can justify double the price of this then go for it.

Does this have obstacle avoidance? And return to flyer via GPS?

Been using DJI products since the f450. I would say give it a miss if this is your first drone.

Yes, but in front only.

And, yes.

What would you recommend? Just want something fun and easy to annoy the dugs! :P

Beware.... Ordered on Wednesday night, would appear that 3 day delivery actually means 7 days, just got notification by email that its ready for posting, a full 48 hours after ordering....

Micro drone is pretty good for starters.

Smart orientation
Controllable with multiple devices
Manual flips and free flying acrobatics
Live Streaming 2.4GHz WIFI
Self-stabilizing CPU
Flies inverted upside down
Robust metal structure
Magnetic modular design for easy maintenance
3 speeds for all abilities
Sensor-assisted flying
Agile flight

They recently just released their gimbal system too.

Camera quality wont be as good as the spark (720p vs 1080p), same goes for the live feed (wifi vs DJIGO).

Does the Spark from Maplin come with a Micro SD card does anyone know?

Cheers

Just to answer my own question... NO.... NO SD CARD :thinking:

Most places seem to not have this in stock, even the Chinese places

I see they are back in stock to order at Maplin including a red version!
