Holy Stone HS175D was $249.99 now $118.99 on Amazon

Save 52% on this Holy Stone drone. It features GPS, GPS assisted flight, altitude hold, a 4K camera, and much more.

The main difference between this and the HS720G is that this doesn't have 5G Wi-Fi transmission, but if you don't specifically need that, then this is a great deal. Also, while this has a 23 minute battery life, it comes with two batteries.

Both of these Holy Stone drones are real bargains, letting you take to the skies, snapping away at wildlife, landscapes, and whatever else you want. Buy one of these and you'll always be able to see your house from here.

These are perfect for beginners and experts alike. The GPS on both means that in the unlikely event of the drone going rogue, you can hunt it down. However, the return to home feature means that neither should merrily head off out of range. 

So, which should you buy? The HS175D at $118.99 or the HS720G for $209.99? It's down to personal preference, in particular whether you want the HS720G's 5G Wi-Fi transmission feature or not. It also has better quality video, 3840×2160P compared to the HS175D's 2688x1512P.

Now, while the cheaper HS175D has 3 minutes less battery life it, it does come with two batteries compared to the HS720G's one. Both of them are real Prime Day bargains.
