I Test Drones For a Living and I’ve Found the 5 Best Deals this Labor Day — Save up to $330 on DJI, Potensic and HoverAir

Unlike most other drones, you don't need a controller or a smartphone to fly the HoverAir X1, which is why it's a great selfie drone. Simply press the buttons on its body and it will record short-form videos and save them internally. My colleague enjoyed using it a lot and appreciated its surprisingly good obstacle avoidance and subject tracking features such as follow, rocket, and more.

If you're looking for a step up from the aforementioned HoverAir X1, the HoverAir X1 ProMax might be right for you. It is the premium model in the X1 lineup and it's capable of capturing 8K/30fps and 4K/60fps video and saving footage to its 64GB internal storage. This bundle includes the Joystick and Beacon which, when combined, act as a regular controller, giving you more control over the drone.

The DJI Mini 4K is a fantastic drone for beginners. Not only can you capture lovely 4K/30fps footage but you also get access to short-form QuickShots and panoramas, as well as a 31-minute flight time. The drone also features a smart return to home and stable hovering, making it the ideal drone for beginners and drone enthusiasts.

The Potensic Atom 2 improves on its predecessor by introducing the ability to capture 48MP stills, smooth 4K/30fps video and it features advanced AI subject tracking and is accompanied by a new, easy-to-use controller and app. It's one of the best DJI alternatives out there. In my Potensic Atom 2 review, I noted that it records very stable video too, and it's lightweight yet sturdy. This deal includes extra batteries and a carry bag.

Featuring 32GB of internal storage, the HoverAir X1 Pro is a lovely little drone that can capture 4K/60fps and FHD/120fps slow-motion footage. It's extremely easy to fly, and in my review, I noted that the drone offered awesome hands-free shooting capabilities, going toe-to-toe with the DJI Neo.
