In this video, the host conducts a series of tests to measure the hover time of the DJI Spark drone by using three fully charged batteries and monitoring the drone's performance in an enclosed, windless area. The host removes the prop guards to minimize weight and utilizes an app to accurately track the battery levels. Over three tests, the drone hovers for 10:36, 11:32, and 10:55 minutes respectively, resulting in an average hover time of around 14 minutes. This is slightly less than DJI's stated hover time of 15 minutes. The host underscores the practical insights these tests provide into the drone’s real-world performance and invites viewer engagement through feedback and subscriptions.

In this segment of the video, the host discusses their experience with the DJI Spark drone, emphasizing a test to measure its hover time. They mention having three fully charged batteries and plan to hover the drone in an enclosed, windless area until the battery reaches 20%, averaging the times from three tests. The official times stated by DJI are 16 minutes of flight and 15 minutes of hover. Due to lift when moving forward, the actual hover test will likely yield a bit less than 15 minutes, and the host will use calculations to estimate the full duration.
Additionally, the host removes the prop guards to minimize weight for the most accurate hover test results and connects the drone to the app to monitor battery levels precisely. They aim to provide a practical insight into the drone’s performance under these specific conditions.

In this part of the video, the creator is testing and measuring the battery life of drones. They plan to land the drones when the battery level reaches 20% and are using an iPad as a stopwatch. For the first battery, the drone hovered for 10 minutes before the battery level reached 23%, and at 20%, it landed at 10:36. A similar test is performed with the second battery, which reaches 20% and lands at 11:32. The creator notes the time taken for the batteries to deplete to 20% and plans to perform the same test with a third battery.

In this segment, the presenter discusses testing the battery life of the DJI Spark drone. They perform three flight tests, recording the battery life for each test, which results in times of 10:36, 11:32, and 10:55 at a 20% battery level. After calculations, the average total flight time is approximately 14 minutes. This contrasts with the manufacturer’s claim of 15 minutes for hovering and 16 minutes for forward flight. The presenter notes the conditions affecting the battery life, accepts feedback on their calculations, and encourages viewers to like, comment, and subscribe.
