affordable hd camera drone deal hobbyists prowler

Drones have been one of the biggest tech stories of the last few years. Fortunately, drone technology is now cheap enough for the casual hobbyist. If you’re looking to fly without making a major financial commitment, our DT Shop currently offers World Tech Toys’ Prowler HD Camera Spy Drone for $140, a savings of $80.

The Prowler HD Camera Spy Drone features an Easy Mode button, which keeps the drone within your line of sight by limiting its flight direction based on your actual standing position. This prevents first-time pilots from accidentally flying their drone off into the distance. The quadricopter also features a built-in gyroscope and adjustable trim setting for better stability and control when flying.

Basic aerial stunts are pre-programmed into your drone via a Flip Mode button, which automatically makes your drone flip as it rips through the sky.

The Prowler HD Camera Spy Drone also features a built-in 720p HD camera that lets you take aerial photography and videos without having to purchase or attach any additional equipment. The camera has built-in image stabilization to prevent overly shaky videos. All media is saved onto the included 4GB MicroSD card.

The 3-speed drone is controlled at all times via its 2.4GHz transmitter, the latter of which features a built-in LCD that shows the drone’s real-time settings and configuration.

The Prowler HD Camera Spy Drone is currently $80 off and includes free shipping. It comes with four spare rotor blades, a 7.4-volt rechargeable battery, 4GB MicroSD card, and a USB SD card reader. Each charge provides about six to eight minutes of flight time and the drone can fully charge in roughly two hours. Six AA batteries are required for the included transmitter.

Before flying any unmanned aircraft, be sure to familiarize yourself with all federal and state drone regulations.

Dyson V7 Advanced Origin -- $300, was $400

The Dyson V7 Advanced Origin is one of the brand's more affordable cordless vacuums, but it still has what it takes to keep your whole home clean with its powerful suction and whole-machine filtration that captures pet allergens and fine dust while expelling clean air. The cordless vacuum also features a detangling Motorbar cleaner head, which deep cleans carpets and hard floors while clearing pet hair from the brush bar using hair removal vanes. It quickly switches to a handheld vacuum with one click, and it can run for up to 40 minutes on a single charge.

If you've been waiting for a discount on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, check this out -- the action camera is down to $400 from Best Buy, for savings of $100 on its original price of $500. GoPro is still the most trusted name in the action camera space, so we expect this offer to attract a lot of attention and possibly sell out quickly. If you want to get the device for cheaper than usual, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero 11 Black
The GoPro Hero 11 Black looks very similar to the GoPro Hero 10 Black, which is a pro-consumer move because that means you can keep using accessories from the older model when you upgrade. All of the improvements are under the hood though, including a larger sensor that will let you shoot horizontal and vertical footage at the same time without having to choose between the two formats. The GoPro Hero 11 Black can shoot 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second, 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and 2.7K at up to 240 frames per second for super slow-motion.
