2024 Prime Day: the best drone deals (even if you don’t shop on Amazon!)

2024 Prime Day isn’t over yet, and there’s still one more day to grab incredible deals on drones, accessories, and more! 

The Drone Girl has already compiled our favorite Amazon Prime Day deals here, but the savings don’t stop there. Many companies are joining in with their summer sales, offering even more discounts on drone products.

That means that even if you don’t have an Amazon Prime membership (and you don’t want to sign up for the free trial to test it out), you can still nab awesome deals from other online retailers. And yes, we outline the trick to getting a free (temporary) Amazon Prime membership here.

We’ve scoured the internet to bring you the best 2024 Prime Day drone-related deals, both on Amazon and on other retailers. Whether you’re after the latest drone models or other essential accessories, there’s plenty to choose from.  

Save $500 on the Autel EVO Lite+ 

Autel’s EVO Lite+ is frequently named the best DJI alternative camera drone you can buy by The Drone Girl. 

This drone features a sizable 1-inch CMOS sensor within a compact design. As a result, it can capture stunning 6K video. The adjustable aperture, ranging from f/2.8 to f/11, allows you to modify exposure and depth of field to suit your preferred style.

The EVO Lite+ is 20% off on Amazon for Prime Day. However, it is 40% off when you purchase it from Autel’s website—saving you even more money. 

• Purchase the EVO Lite+ for $899 from Autel OR for $1,119 from Amazon 

Save $120 on the HoverAir X1 

The HoverAir X1 drone is intended for beginners, people on a budget, and those looking to up their selfie game — and it’s highly portable.

The fly experience doesn’t match the DJI alternatives, but the ability to record sound and similar camera quality to a DJI Mini 2 SE  ($279) make it stand out. 

The HoverAir X1 is usually $429 but is on sale for $309. The HoverAir X1 is also on sale directly from their website, however, you’ll save money purchasing from Amazon.  

• Purchase the HoverAir X1 on Amazon or directly from the company’s website 

Save $50 on the DroneMask 2 

The DroneMask 2 is a cost-effective way to convert your existing drone into an FPV drone (and even more cost-effective now that it is on sale).

Compatible with any drone that has a phone-connected controller, it offers an affordable entry into FPV flying. 

While DJI FPV Goggles V2 starts at $342, the DroneMask 2 is 47% cheaper. Full FPV drones, like the DJI Avata starting at $629, are even pricier.

You can purchase the DroneMask 2 directly from the company’s website for $179, but you will save $30 if you purchase it from Amazon for $149. 

• Purchase the DroneMask 2 from Amazon or directly from the company’s website 

Save $151 on ExoTech BlackHawk 3 Pro

Looking for an American-made camera drone under $1,000? Check out the EXO Drones’ new Blackhawk 3 Pro. By some measures, it fits the bill (but not by all measures, get the details here).

The BlackHawk 3 Pro weighs 600gm, shoots in 4K at 30fps, and has downward obstacle sensors. The BlackHawk 3 Pro is currently on sale for $949 on Amazon and directly on the company’s website.

Save $90 on Flywoo Naked GoPro 10 action camera

The Flywoo camera is based on the GoPro Hero 10 camera, but specially made for FPV. The major difference is that they have removed the traditional GoPro case and designed a new case that is tailor-made for FPV. 

The camera comes with a touchscreen, mounting hardware, mount, and a filter set. The action camera is currently on sale at GetFPV.com for $600. 

• Purchase the Flywoo GoPro 10 action camera from GetFPV.com

Save $60 on DJI Osmo Action 4 

This summer, DJI released the newest addition to its action camera lineup, the DJI Osmo Action 4, and for 2024 Prime Day, it’s 15% off. The 1/1.3″ sensor is the largest of any Osmo action camera and it’s even larger than the GoPro Hero 11’s 1/1.7in sensor (and it also touts a bigger equivalent pixel size).

There are also smart shooting modes, such as the 360° HorizonSteady stabilization modes (which include RockSteady 3.0/3.0+ for FPV footage and HorizonBalancing /HorizonSteady for horizontal shots).

• Purchase the DJI Osmo Action 4 on Amazon or from B&H at the same price of $339

Save $150 on Bose QuietComfort wireless over-ear headphones

Get high-quality audio, noise cancellation, responsive touch controls, and more with Bose’s wireless headphones. These over-ear headphones come with quiet and aware modes that let you toggle between full noise-canceling or full awareness of your surroundings. 

If over-ear headphones aren’t your style try the Bose in-ear headphones which are also on sale for $220 (that’s $70 off the original price!)  

• Purchase the Bose QuietComfort over-ear headphones from B&H for $199 or from Amazon for the same price 

Save $400 on DJI Power 1000 

As DJI expands its product portfolio beyond drones, it’s added a compelling product that could help you charge them. That’s DJI Power. And sure, it’s great for drones, but it’s also great anywhere else you might need on-the-go, high power outputs, such as on a camping trip.

DJI for now has two models, the DJI Power 1000 and DJI Power 500. But in my breakdown comparing which is better between the DJI Power 1000 versus DJI Power 500, the DJI Power 1000 comes out on top.

What’s even better to add to the case? It’s on sale for 2024 Prime Day!

The DJI Power 1000 has a battery capacity of 1024 Wh and can provide a stable output at 2200 W until the battery runs out. It has a max output power of 2600 W and a peak output of 4400 W.  

All of that, plus, the DJI Power 1000 has the largest discount of any DJI product during Prime Day (40% off!). 

• Purchase the DJI Power on Amazon for $599  

Save $50 on the Ruggard EDC-18LC electronic dry cabinet 

Protect your camera, drones, or any other important electronics from excessive moisture, dirt, and dust with the Ruggard EDC-18LC cabinet. 

The cabinet has a large LCD screen displaying the ambient temperature and relative humidity. 

The cabinet is only on sale at B&H Photo, a sale you won’t find on Amazon Prime Day.

• Purchase the Ruggard EDC-18LC cabinet from B&H Photo or for full price on Amazon
