This lightweight drone is just half a pound, which makes it an impressively small drone that's perfect for newbies. It can even fold up to become smaller, so if you want something compact and simple to use, this is the model to go after. But just because it's small, that doesn't mean it's bereft of features. It has 4K HDR video capabilities as well a gimbal design that allows it to shoot vertically with dynamic angles.

It offers about 38 minutes of flight time per battery charge, which you can extend up to 51 minutes if you pick up the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus as a separate purpose. Other than that, it also has built-in intelligent features of its own, like auto takeoff, precise hovering, and return to home capabilities so you don't have to do it all yourself.

If you're ready to try out drone flying, this is a great time to do so and a deal that's well worth starting with.
