A DJI Mini 4K deal at Amazon has pushed the compact drone combo to $299 as of July 23, down from a listed $389 price, according to Mashable. That is a $90 cut, or 23% off, on a bundle built for buyers who want a small drone with extra flight time out of the box.
Mashable said the sale price is the lowest it has seen for the DJI Mini 4K drone combo at Amazon. The product was listed as in stock at Amazon at the time of the report.
The DJI Mini 4K weighs under 249 grams, according to Mashable, putting it in the lightweight-drone lane for people who want something portable rather than a larger flying camera rig. The combo includes two batteries, which Mashable said provide up to 62 minutes of total flight time.
The deal is centered on a drone meant to capture outdoor footage, including trips, hikes, vacations and property videos, according to Mashable. The model’s compact size is part of the pitch: it has a folding body, and the bundle includes a shoulder bag for carrying it.
What comes with the DJI Mini 4K deal?
The Amazon combo includes the DJI Mini 4K drone, two batteries and a shoulder bag, according to Mashable. It also features the DJI RC-N1 remote controller, which Mashable described as easy to use for controlling the drone.
For beginners, the drone includes a one-touch return-to-home function, Mashable reported. That feature is designed to bring the drone back without requiring the pilot to manually fly it all the way home.
Mashable also pointed to the drone’s transmission range, saying it can operate at a radius of a little more than six miles. The model is rated for level-five wind resistance, which Mashable described as roughly 23 miles per hour.
Another spec in the mix: the DJI Mini 4K can take off at altitudes up to 13,000 feet, according to Mashable. That gives the small drone some travel-friendly appeal for buyers planning to shoot footage in higher-elevation locations.
Is the DJI Mini 4K deal worth buying?
At $299, the appeal is the discount plus the bundle. Mashable reported that the price is $90 below list and the best Amazon price it has seen for the DJI Mini 4K combo.
The features also make the bundle less bare-bones than a drone-only purchase. The two batteries lift total flight time to 62 minutes, while the folding design and shoulder bag help with transport, according to Mashable.
The sale is available through Amazon, according to Mashable, with the drone combo marked down from $389 to $299 as of July 23. As with any Amazon deal, pricing and stock can change after the listed date.
