Black Friday’s best drone deals include a new record-low price for a 4K DJI bundle

UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2022, 11:30 a.m. EST This post has been updated with the best Cyber Monday drone deals of 2022. Here’s a brief overview:

• BEST 4K DRONE DEAL: The immersive DJI FPV(opens in a new tab) reaches speeds up to 87 miles per hour and shoots in 4K/60fps video with a 150-degree FOV. Its “Combo” bundle has never been this cheap before — $899 $1,299 (save $400)

• BEST DJI DRONE DEAL: The DJI Mavic Mini Combo(opens in a new tab) is an upgrade over the standard version since it comes with a ton of additions — $399 $499 (save $100)

Anyone who’s shopped for a consumer-friendly drone before knows that DJI is the market’s uncontested leader. They also know that it’s oddly hard to find DJI drones on sale. (And if/when it happens, they still tend to skew expensive.) With Cyber Monday now here, we’re finally seeing more than just one DJI model(opens in a new tab) on sale.

If you’re trying to score a good deal on a drone this holiday season (without completely blowing your budget), we recommend expanding your search to other brands like Contixo, Holy Stone, and Autel Robotics. Below, you’ll find a running list of the best Cyber Monday deals on drones, from fancy 4K cameras suited for aerial photography to cheap kid-friendly RCs.

Note: Any newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

4K drone deals

Why we like it

If you’ve got some wiggle room in your budget, the DJI FPV(opens in a new tab) is a really cool drone for advanced users. It can shoot 4K/60fps video with a 150-degree FOV at up to 120 Mbps and reach a max speed of about 87 miles per hour, with up to 20 minutes of runtime and safety features like obstacle sensing that keep it safe during adventurous flights. It comes with goggles for a first-person flight experience (as opposed to just watching its footage from your phone), and can be paired with multiple goggles to share the flight with your friends in real time.

The DJI FPV Combo (with the drone itself, goggles, a remote controller, batteries, a power adapter, and other accessories) retailed for $999 on Amazon(opens in a new tab) last Black Friday, but this year it’s on sale for only $899. That’s 31% off its $1,299 MSRP and its lowest price to date. (If it sells out there, check Best Buy(opens in a new tab): They had it in stock for $899.99 at the time of writing.)

Best DJI Drone Deal

Why we like it

The Mini is out of production as per DJI’s website, so it’s basically now or never for this product. The Mini Combo is a clear upgrade over the standard version, thanks to its additional propellers and batteries, 3 times as many screws, as well as an 18W fast charger and a carrying bag. Shooting dynamic scenes is easier thanks to the 3-Axis gimbal, while the video resolution allows for more creativity in editing. Grab this lightweight drone while stocks last.
