Buy a DJI Spark for $399, get a free remote
Normally a $119 extra, the remote makes the drone easier to fly and extends the range.
The DJI Spark is a terrific little drone, notable for packing lots of advanced features into a compact frame. Among those features: gesture-controlled operation, which would seem to obviate the need for a remote.
But I strongly recommend getting one, in part because it makes the Spark easier to control and in part because it extends the range. Normally it's a $119 extra -- unless you buy the Fly More bundle, in which case it adds $149 -- but for a limited time, you can get a free remote when you buy the DJI Spark for $399. (That price also includes a free 16GB microSD card.)
Granted, you could buy a refurbished Spark for $279, add the remote and come out about the same. But all else being equal, new is obviously preferable. Read CNET's DJI Spark review to learn more.
