There are a number of different drones that are available on the market today.

If you are looking to purchase a drone, you could be looking to spend anywhere between a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on what you want to go with. And the tech company DJI has just introduced a much smaller drone than many of the others; going to be sold for roughly $500.

The new drone is expected to arrive in June and it's going to be one of the easiest drones for consumers to operate.

At the moment, some of the drones can be quite difficult for consumers to learn how to operate. What many want is just an easy tool that they can take out of the box and start using, many people don't want to have to invest a lot of time in learning how to fly etc before they can use their drone.

Well, this new DJI Spark drone is said to be so easy that it doesn't require any training in order to use.

When you turn the drone on and hold it in front of you, the Spark has a camera on it that is able to look for and locate the pilot. It operates with gesture-controlled flight mode, so the Spark will follow the gesture movements of the hand. And when you are ready to pack it up and be done with it all you need to do is wave your hand and the drone will fly down and land in the palm of your hand.

The Spark is able to shoot HD video, goes 31mph, and can fly for about 16 minutes at a time.

This tiny drone is highly convenient for those who are looking for an efficient tool that is small enough to be tossed into their pocket or bag. Though, there are many other drones also available on the market that are small and compact options, like the GoPro karma drone, tiny drones from Perdix, and more.

And consumers aren't the only ones getting their hands on tiny palm-sized drones either, the U.S. navy has also been looking to incorporate this technology into their fighting approach. Those tiny drones act together in unison, a swarm moving together with a common purpose.

We have already seen them unveil these drones at popular events like Disney and the Superbowl etc.

For those buying a drone in the U.S., thanks to the recent ruling by an appeals court against the FAA, they will no longer be required to register their drone with the FAA before they can fly it-for now.
