As of Sept. 22, the DJI Avata 360 8K drone (including backpack and landing pad) is priced at $719 at Amazon. That’s a $98.95 discount from the regular list price of $817.95.

As the name suggests, the DJI Avata 8K drone captures stunning 8K footage (at 60 fps) and 120 MP photos. It's built on a single-axis gimbal, with a 360° virtual gimbal for all-around imagery, and uses two 1/1.1-Inch square CMOS sensors. It also boasts a wide range of creative features that combine fun flying and professional-quality video. In addition to the backpack and landing pad, the bundle includes a DJI RC 2 remote controller and a 128GB microSD card for added storage.

There's another reason to grab this drone. Recent changes to the law have effectively banned Chinese-made DJI products from entering the U.S., but retailers are still allowed to sell their existing stock. It's a case of getting them while you can — not to mention the fact that DJI prices will likely skyrocket once stocks become scarce.

Don't miss the chance to save $98.95 on the DJI Avata 360 8K drone.
