The DJI Mini 4K drone is on sale for $249 for Prime members

Adding a drone to your photo or video arsenal can give you the ability to get impressive footage wherever you may be. Thankfully, the drone space has expanded over the past few years so you don’t have to pay crazy prices to get a decent one. Case in point: the DJI Mini 4K drone, which normally costs $299, but is currently on sale for a record low of $249 for Prime members only on Amazon.

The Mini 4K is a beginner-friendly drone, but it doesn’t compromise on nifty features as a result. As the name suggests, it can capture 4K video at up to 30 fps, and it can also record 2.7K footage at 60 fps. There’s 2x digital zoom, a 3-axis gimbal and electrical image stabilization. Plus, this model can transmit 1080p video from up to 10km away.

It offers level-5 wind resistance, which is nice, and can fly for up to 31 minutes per charge. The drone allows for one-tap movements and comes with a dedicated remote. Users can also access the companion app for additional controls and to access flight tutorials.

Perhaps the coolest feature here is the size and form factor. The Mini 4K is small enough that it doesn’t require FAA registration, so you can take it out immediately after unboxing. It’s also foldable, making it easy to store when not in use. This particular model didn’t make our list of the best drones, but its more expensive sibling, the Mini 4 Pro, was our very favorite.
