The stand-out drone of the sale is the Autel Evo Lite+. This drone usually retails for $1,249, but with this sale, it starts at just $689. The Autel Evo Lite+ was named the best non-DJI camera drone on the market, according to Drone Girl. Its standout features include:
1-inch CMOS sensor
6K/30fps video
40 minutes of flight time on a single charge
Adjustable aperture from f/2.8 to f/11
Defog mode
Transmission range of 7.4 miles
Ultra wide-angle obstacle avoidance cameras with a front field of view of 150 degrees
