DJI Avata Pro-View Combo Drone
Total immersion and intuitive control at a whopping 30% off $999.00 at Amazon$1,428.00 Save $429.00 See It
We had great things to say about the DJI Avata in our review, calling out that it "captures thrilling video" thanks to its incredible speed and maneuverability. This is a massively fast drone, hitting speeds of 31mph in Sport mode and 60mph in manual mode. You had better be an experienced pilot though, if you want to take this one out. But at nearly $500 off it's worth the (flight) risk.

On the other end of the affordability spectrum, this is a really solid entry-level drone with a decent discount. Holy Stone's mini drone features lots of user-friendly features, including toss to launch, altitude hold for stability, and a "Headless Mode," which orients the controls to the way the pilot is facing instead of the aircraft. It's sturdy and speedy, with flight times of up to 21 minutes per charge.
