If you’re in the market for your first drone, check out the Shadow from Holy Stone. Not only is this flyer perfect for beginners, but its price is reduced by almost $80 to just $64.99 right now.

As a novice, you may worry about getting the hang of flying, but the H160 Shadow drone makes learning easy. Features such as one-key start, altitude hold, and headless mode mean that the aerodynamics are easy to pick up and master.

That leaves you free to focus on selfie time. The 720p HD Wi-Fi camera on the drone transmits images in real-time to your smartphone. The Shadow will hover around you — hence the name — snapping at your whim. Once you’re done, one button can land it safely.

There are sexier drones than this quadcopter, but the design is all about portability. The blades fold away neatly into the body so that you can easily carry it around in your pocket. Function triumphs over form again. 

The HS160 Shadow drone at a glance:

• Foldable and portable design
• 720p Wi-Fi FPV HD camera
• App or transmitter control systems
• Modular battery and a spare for extended flight time
• Altitude hold function
• Headless mode
