A Final Prime Day Deal Drops This Great Personal Drone to the Lowest Price We've Seen
Amazon Prime Day may have only a few hours left, but impressive deals remain. If you've been thinking about getting a drone, especially for photography or video, DJI is an excellent brand -- CNET drone reviewer and pro photographer Andrew Lanxon has praised the company's Mini models -- and the Mini 4K is available now (but not for much longer) at only $240.
This 4K-camera DJI drone has important features like a 3-axis gimbal to keep things steady, level 5 wind resistance and video transmission up to 32,800 feet away. But it's not just packed with tons of extra features, the controls are all app-based, which has its own advantages.
CNET Analyst Natalie Goldberg praises the tiny DJI Neo she owns as a recommendation of the company's products in general. "The DJI [Neo] is the ideal beginner drone. The camera quality exceeded my expectations for aerial shots," she said. "My biggest fear was losing control and watching it disappear, but the 'fly home' feature put those worries to rest."
Goldberg explained: "It doesn't have any crazy, advanced features like subject tracking, but the build quality feels solid, and the stable flight makes it perfect for someone just starting out in drone flying."
This small drone includes a powerful camera.
