For kids and beginners, perhaps the most important factor is that a drone is not too expensive. In inexperienced hands, drones might find themselves stuck in a tree or on someone's roof, so it's best not to buy something too expensive if you're just starting out. While the Hiturbo S20 is low-priced — and even lower thanks to Prime Day discounts — it doesn't skimp on quality. It has a 1080P camera, comes with an extra battery pack for an extra 12 minutes of flight time, one-key takeoff and landing, and has fun features like the ability to do 3D flips and take photos and videos activated by hand gestures. Perfect for playing around and earning your drone wings.

The Holy Stone HS720E isn't at its all-time lowest price, but it's still $70 cheaper than the original price, which is a good deal if you're looking for a high-quality drone that has lots of features for capturing video. This model from Holy Stone has a 4K UHD camera, as well as Electric Image Stabilization (EIC) which cuts down on blurring, so your footage is crisper. It also has different flight modes, like one that follows you, or another that circles a certain point for capturing footage in unique ways. The HS720E comes with two battery packs for a combined flight time of 46 minutes, which is ample time to get just the right shot.
