Do you want a professional-grade 4K camera drone from a big-name brand? Sadly, it can easily set you back $1,000 or even more. At best, you’re going to spend $800 if you want decent features and a 3-axis gimbal.
That’s one of several reasons why I’m still a big fan of the Potensic Dreamer Pro. It’s a 4K camera drone with a 3-axis gimbal, and I first started testing it more than two years ago. After all this time, it’s still among the best values you’ll find for a 4K camera drone with optical stabilization. It can easily go toe-to-toe with drones in the $800-$1,000 range, but the Dreamer Pro is on sale right now for just $389.99.

Anyone who knows anything at all about drones can probably name the go-to pro-grade quadcopter drone for amateurs and professionals on a budget. You also know that it costs $800 minimum.

It’s a high-quality quadcopter with pretty much all the key features you need. That includes a 4K camera that captures stunning video. Plus, you get a 3-axis gimbal that stabilizes video and still images captured during flight. In addition to that, intelligent software and flight features round out the experience.
It should go without saying that not everyone has an extra $800 lying around — especially not that they’re willing to spend on a drone, no matter how great it is. If you’re looking for a terrific alternative that checks all the same main boxes for much less money, you’ve definitely come to the right place.
Potensic’s Dreamer Pro offers professional-grade quality and features at a fraction of what you’d pay for a comparable model from other companies.
Available on Amazon
You get 28 minutes of flight time per charge, plus a stunning 4K camera with a high-quality Sony sensor. Additionally, you’ll get a 3-axis gimbal for outstanding video and image stabilization. On top of all that, the Dreamer Pro is packed full of smart features that will help with any content you might be shooting.
One example is a “follow me” mode that tracks moving objects and people. There’s also a circle mode that flies in a perfect circle around any center point. Path mode lets you draw out a flight pattern, and the drone will fly on its own.
Also, this drone has an impressive 2-kilometer transmission range and so much more.
This excellent Potensic drone is absolutely on par with other quadcopters that fall into the $800 – $1,200 price range. Yet the Potensic Dreamer Pro 4K camera drone with a 3-axis gimbal retails for just $430.
That’s already about half the price of comparable models from leading brands. Right now, however, the Potensic Dreamer Pro is on sale for $389.99, which is the best price I’ve seen so far this year. The only problem is that at the time of this writing, there were only a half-dozen units left in stock.
If you want to spend even less and don’t need the 3-axis gimbal, there’s a great alternative deal you should check out.
The Potensic Atom SE drone has most of the Dreamer Pro’s key features, but it has electronic image stabilization (EIS) instead of a 3-axis gimbal. It still has a 4K camera, though, and it’ll give you 62 minutes of flight time thanks to two batteries that are included in the box.
This model retails for $300, but it’s on sale for $234.99 at the moment.
