Karma or spark

so I’m looking at getting a drone for first time. I plan on using it mainly for photography as I plan on a trip to Japan next year and would just love to fly one anyways as it looks fun! I’m looking at not super expensive options right now before I drop serious money so I don’t destroy a really expensive one if something happens. Eventually if I like the hobby I think DJI Mavic Pro 2 with Hasselblad would be my choice. Initially now though I’m looking at a GoPro karma used on Craigslist for $375 without camera which I have a GoPro hero 5 black so that is appealing price. Other option is a DJI spark for like $400 new but then have to buy controller for longer range which is like another $150 or something. I guess question is just which is a better option for me? Obviously spark would be more but not a whole not more. Karmas I hear mixed ahit on. Some people say range is only like 300 feet others say 3000 and all sorts of other conflicting stuff. Just want a no bs point in right direction. Thanks in advance!

The plot thickens. Looks yolks you can get a spark with remote for 399 currently....
