Save $310 on the DJI Air 3 Fly More Combo
The DJI Air 3 drone features two cameras: a wide-angle and a 3x medium telephoto, both capable of capturing 48MP photos and 4K/60fps HDR videos. Additionally, the drone offers significant flight improvements, including:
- Up to 46 minutes of flight time
- Omnidirectional obstacle sensing
- O4 HD Video Transmission System
The DJI Air 3 is ideal for someone who is constantly on the go, or a nice sweet spot drone for professional photographers who might not necessarily need the highest-end cameras.
The DJI Air 3 Fly More Combo is usually $1,549, but is on sale for $1,239. If you are not looking for the extras that come with the fly more combo (DJI RC controller, intelligent batteries), the Air 3 with DJI RC-N2 is also 20% off.
Save $230 DJI FPV Explorer Combo
The DJI FPV drone is ideal for experienced drone pilots, especially those trying to get into FPV-style flying.
The drone weighs 795 grams and has a flight time of 16 minutes. The Explorer Combo comes with Goggles Integra. The DJI Goggles are arguably one of the highest-quality goggles out there.
The DJI FPV Explorer Combo is usually $999 but is 23% off for $769.
Save $90 on the DJI Mini 4K Fly More Combo
DJI’s most affordable drone is now even more affordable on Amazon Prime Day 2024. When this drone was released last month, it quickly moved to Amazon’s No. 1 best-selling drone, and for good reason.
The DJI Mini 4K is a fantastic entry-level drone with the ability to shoot 4K video, sub-250 gram weight, and ease of flight. It also comes with omnidirectional obstacle sensing, making it effectively crashproof.
The Fly More Combo comes with an RC-N1 controller, 2 intelligent batteries, and a shoulder bag. The DJI Mink 4K Fly More Combo is normally $449 and is now on sale for 20% off at just $359.
If you already have a DJI controller, perhaps skip the Fly More Combo and purchase the DJI Mini 4K which is also 20% off for just $239.
Save $70 on the DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo
With the DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo, you’ll get the Mini 3, the RC controller, a shoulder bag, intelligent flight batteries, and several other accessories. Usually $719, it’s on sale on Amazon for $599.
The DJI Mini line is considered DJI’s drone line for beginners. So this Fly More combo comes with everything you need, I can’t think of a better gift for the novice drone lover in your life. If you do end up purchasing this as a first-time drone, consider the Drones 101 course from Drone Launch Academy. Also this week (though not actually on Prime) the course is currently 50% off.
Notable DJI Mini 3 features include its lightweight (249 grams), long flight time, and 4K HDR video.
So is $599 a good deal? For what it’s worth, the DJI Mini 3 drone is actually ultra cheap over at Costco — albeit not in Fly More Combo form. On Costco, the DJI Mini 3 drone is on sale through July 21 for just $299. The catch? It’s backordered for two weeks, and you’ll need to pick it up at a warehouse. Plus, that also requires a Costco membership.
If you want the full Combo version, or you don’t have access to a nearby Costco (nor a membership to boot), then Amazon is your best bet. But Costco members, don’t overlook the beloved warehouse chain.
Save $160 on Bwine F7 GPS drone
For an alternative drone to DJI that also costs less than $500 (when on sale), look to the Bwine F7 GPS drone. We haven’t independently reviewed this drone so we’re unwilling to full endorse it — but at least the deal looks good. The Bwine F7 GPS drone is usually $599 but is currently on sale for $370.
That’s because the Bwine F7 drone itself has fairly impressive specs for the price. That includes a detachable 4k video camera, a 3-axis gimbal, plus 5x digital zoom. Note that while the Bwine is a DJI alternative, it does not make the list of American drone companies.
Save $60 on the Holy Stone GPS drone
Another alternative drone to DJI that costs less than $200 (when on sale). And it is not always easy to find cheap beginner drones for under $200.
The Holy Stone drone shoots in 4K, has a return-to-home feature, has a 5GHz FPV transmission, and flies for an impressive 46 minutes. The drone is usually $229 but is on sale currently for $169.
Save $104 on SanDisk 4TB Extreme Pro
The SanDisk 4TB Extreme Pro is a massive storage device. Any drone photographer knows the more storage, the better.
Consider the SanDisk 4TB Extreme Pro for its impressive NVMe solid state performance, offering up to 2000MB/s read/write speeds, which ensures quick and efficient transfer of high-resolution footage. The SanDisk Extreme Pro is usually $400 but is 26% off for just $296.
If you want something with slightly less storage, Samsung’s SSD T7 Shield 1TB is 50% off! It usually goes for $169, but is now on sale for $79.99.
- Purchase the SanDisk 4TB or the Samsung SSD T7 1TB on Amazon.
Save up to $36 on Samsung SD/MicroSD cards
Believe it or not, the microSD card you buy for your drone matters. For example, a more powerful drone will require a more powerful SD card. Lucky for you, many of the microSD cards that made our list of best microSD cards for drones, are on sale for Prime Day.
Here are some of the best deals on Samsung MicroSD cards:
- Save $36 on the 512GB PRO Plus microSD card, on sale for $39.99 (47% saving)
- Save $15 on the 256GB PRO Ultimate microSD card, on sale for $26.99 (36% saving)
- Save $40 on the 512GB PRO Ultimate SD Card, on sale for $49.99 (44% saving)
- Save $16 on the 256GB PRO Ultimate SD Card, on sale for $28.99 (36% saving)
Use The Drone Girl’s guide to help you select the right microSD card for you, or if you want the best deal, then we’d recommend the 512GB Pro Plus microSD.
Save $38 on the Pelican Vault hard case
For photographers who frequently travel with their drone and possibly other camera gear, consider this Vault case.
The case comes with padded dividers and Velcro brand fasteners, so you can ensure each of your items is safely stored. The cases are also sealed against moisture and dust.
The Pelican Vault hard case is usually $189 but is currently on sale for $151.
Save $12 on the Samsung 256GB USB Type-C drive
Flash drives are perfect for storing your irreplaceable drone photos and videos, important work, school documents, and more.
The Samsung flash drive transfers 4GB of files in 11 seconds with up to 400MB/s USB 3.13 read-speeds. The flash drive is usually $35 but is on sale for $22.99.
