Almost everyone wants to fly, and with drones, playing around in the air is easier than ever. But it’s not a cheap hobby, and if you’re a newbie, it can be intimidating — and even dangerous.

This DJI Tello Quadcopter, made in partnership with Ryze Tech, is an ideal drone for beginner and experienced pilots alike. It sports electronic image stabilization, auto takeoff and landing, and low-battery protection, so novice fliers can take to the air like, um, a duck to water.

With its tiny form factor, you can easily perform exciting aerial tricks, and even get an aerial view in 720p, right from your smartphone. Just download the free Tello app. It’s affordable, too, so you won’t have to break the bank. Plus, if you spring for the combo kit, you’ll get three batteries, a charging hub and a MicroUSB cable.

Buy now: Get a DJI Tello Quadcopter for $99. Or get the Combo Kit for $149 — that’s 8% off the usual price.
