A high-flying GPS drone for a low price 

Enjoy the view from 1,000 feet in the air. The Skyhawk is a compact, folding drone with built-in GPS to help maintain precision controls. Fly for up to 16 minutes on a single charge. Fill that time with exciting aerial maneuvers, or put the 1080p camera to work. 

Stream video directly to your phone while you fly. Snap photos or record your adventures in the air. Install the free VTI Skyhawk app on your Android or iOS device for access to First-Person Flying and to turn on the Follow Me mode. You can set your drone to automatically follow you from above at a steady distance. Hikers and mountain bikers may enjoy the unique angle the following drone could capture. 

Buying refurbished is a great way to find low prices on high-quality gadgets. The Skyhawk may be marked down 33%, but it’s still in near-mint condition. A great way to make that condition last is to attach the included guard rails which could protect the propellers from accidental harm.
