Just a quick PSA, folks. The Amazon Big Spring Sale is finally drawing to a close tonight, so it could be your last chance to get the fantastic DJI Mini 4K drone for a record-low price of just $269 (was $389) .

Today's best deal is for the mid-tier battery combo, which includes a handy shoulder bag and two spare batteries for extra flight time. You can opt for the standalone drone for just $209 (was $299) , but that's been cheaper on a few occasions and we'd recommend the combo anyway, since it's better value than buying extra batteries separately. As an overview, the DJI Mini 4K is rated as our current best budget drone , and it's a fantastic entry point
into the world of drones. Weighing just 249g, the Mini 4K is impressively compact, yet it's still capable of sharp 4K video and a control range of up
to 10km. Its Level 5 wind resistance and three-axis gimbal provide steady footage, and the extra batteries here will deliver up to 62-minutes of flight time.

The only downside we can think of at this price is that this model doesn't include obstacle avoidance, so its worth flying with a bit of extra care.
With that said, it's still very beginner-friendly thanks to the DJI Fly app, which offers features like one-tap takeoff and automatic return-to-home.

Because it's a slightly older model, it's still widely stocked at several retailers. The
only restriction here is that the DJI app is no longer supported on Google Play , so you'll need to visit the DJI website directly to download it.

Otherwise, you're pretty much good to go with the DJI Mini 4K. Since it's under the 249-gram breakpoint for federal registration, you can fly the drone right out of the box without needing to register it anywhere. Of course, make sure you're still up to speed with any local restrictions and fly
responsibly!
