Whether it’s snapping overhead shots of a pool party or simply entertaining a bored adult (too old for “toys”), drones are everywhere. If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing your first drone or adding a new one to your collection, these savings might be just the motivation you need.

At $99, the Ryze Tech Trello quadcopter powered by DJI is one of the best options at this price point. It takes incredible photos and videos (thanks to electronic image stabilization and a high-quality image processor) and has an impressive flight time of 13 minutes on a single charge. Plus, it’s programmable with Scratch, a system allowing novices to learn coding basics. In other words, this drone is fun and educational.

If you’re looking for a solid beginner drone, check out the TRNDlabs Spectre drone, on sale now for $59.99 (ordinarily $149.99). It’s easy to fly and takes high-quality photos and videos. This one also gets extra points for being so sturdy — particularly important for novices who might need to practice flying. 

The Force Flyers DIY Building Block Fly ‘n Drive drone is designed specifically with STEM development in mind: By constructing your own flying and driving machine, you learn aerodynamics, weight distribution, and other physics concepts. It’s on sale now for $39.99, from $49.99.

The Wingsland S6 4K pocket drone might be the most portable option on the list. It’s very small —  folding down to the size of a phone — yet produces stunning 4K HD views. There are also intelligent flight control modes, including follow me, point of interest, and intuitive control, which make it easy to fly right from your phone. It’s on sale now for $249.99. 

Most drones are fun to use, but the Micro Drone 3.0 combo pack, in particular, is a blast to fly. That’s because it comes with a DODOcase Smartphone VR Headset, so you have a first-person view to feel like you’re really flying. Plus, the drone is small, nimble, and modular with easy-to-replace parts. It’s on sale now for $145 from $215. 

The Bionic Bird not only looks exactly like a bird, it actually mimics the way birds fly and glide. In fact, it’s so convincing that with a little practice, you may even be able to fly among real birds. It doesn’t get much more fun and unique than that. It’s on sale now for $99.95 from $149.95.
