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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Here’s a deal you won’t even find on Amazon, and luckily it’s not exclusive to just this week’s 2024 Prime Day. This sale has been ongoing — and we’re grateful!

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).

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!).
