Amazon Prime Day starts tomorrow, July 16, 2024 and runs through Wednesday, July 17. For drone enthusiasts, this means plenty of exciting deals on DJI products, drones, memory cards, and more.
Over the next two days, we will share the best drone deals as we find them, but here’s a sneak peek at some current drone-related offers, along with tips to help you prepare for Prime Day and save even more money.
How to participate in Amazon Prime Day 2024
Amazon Prime Day is a two-day event starting tomorrow. To participate, you need to be an Amazon Prime member, which costs $139 per year. However, here’s a tip: sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime. You can enjoy the Prime Day deals and then cancel your membership within the 30-day period if you decide not to keep it. That way you can still snag a drone (or whatever you buy) on sale — and not also have to shell out the $139 for the Prime membership.
That’s not the only way you can avoid paying the full $139 Amazon Prime membership fee, though. Amazon offers discounted memberships for eligible customers, including students, EBT recipients, and those on select government assistance programs.
Best deals before Amazon Prime Day 2024
The larger deals will run tomorrow July 16 through Wednesday, July 17, but some items that might appeal to drone pilots are already on sale right now. Don’t wait on these deals though. If something catches your eye, snag it before it sells out. That said, here are some of the best Prime Day 2024 deals right now
- Save $80 on a Samsung 27” Computer Monitor– a great deal for anyone to upgrade how they edit their drone footage
- Save $20 on a 128GB iPhone Photo Stick – a handy purchase for anyone who flies a drone that sends your footage straight to your iPhone (like the Hover Air x1 for example) or for anyone who edits footage on an iPad. This photo stick frees up storage space in seconds
- Save $126 on label maker machine – this deal may not be directly drone-related, but this deal is too good to pass up
- Save $30 on the Baseus laptop docking station- for all of us with too many gadgets, monitors, and more, this deal is an excellent find

How to plan for Amazon Prime Day 2024 today — so you’re ready tomorrow
When you log onto Amazon’s website, you might feel overwhelmed by the various promotions. And with sales popping up left and right you may be left wondering, am I getting the best deal?
Before starting your shopping day, list some must-haves and some that would be nice for your Amazon Prime Day 2024 purchases.
Next, when you’ll often see different types of deals next to the sales items. Here is a breakdown of what the deals mean.
- Best Deal: Prime-Exclusive Best Deals offer significant discounts and are available either until the promotion period ends or inventory runs out. If you see something you want it, snag it given that inventory restriction.
- Deal of the Day: These deals tend to be featured prominently to drive brand awareness to that particular project. Depending on the actual item, these deals runs for either 24 or 48 hours during the event, subject to selection and scheduling.
- Lightning Deal: These are limited-quantity deals that run for 12 hours or until sold out. If you see this as a must-have item, purchase it right away. You’ll typically see a countdown clock letting you know when the deal expires.
- WOW: These are some exciting, super limited-time deals. Though maybe not a huge deal, these deals tend to be considered “rare,” perhaps because that item doesn’t usually go on sale otherwise. If you see it for any must-have or would-be-nice, purchase it right away, as you’re unlikely to see such a deal again.
