If you’ve been eyeing a new drone but hesitated to pull the trigger, you’re not alone. Inflation has been squeezing wallets, concerns about tariffs on Chinese drones and a rocky stock market has left many consumers wary of big-ticket purchases. Luckily, spring 2025 drone deals are still popping up.
Whether you’re a first-time flyer or an experienced pilot looking to upgrade, this guide will help you navigate the best spring 2025 drone deals I’ve seen so far.
The HOVERAir X1 is a lightweight, foldable drone. It’s a nice alternative to DJI drones, such as the DJI Neo or the newer DJI Flip. The HOVERAir X1 is the older model to the spiffier HOVERAir X1 PROMAX and HOVERAir X1 PRO drones, which launched in summer 2024, and this deal has the original at as much as $220 off. Plus, they’re throwing in a free PU case!
Wow, this is an amazing deal on the DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Comb. Normally $289, it’s on sale for 27% off, bringing the price down to just $209.
The Osmo 4 Essential Combo is a pared down version of another configuration, the Standard Combo. It includes all the same accessories except for one: the Osmo Action Curved Adhesive Base. Photographers typically use the Osmo Action Curved Adhesive Base for mounting Osmo to something like a bike or ski/snowboard helmet. If those sports aren’t your thing, then going for the Essential Combo affords you some amazing savings.
The job market is tough right now, but why not work for yourself? In order to legally make money in drones in the U.S., you must hold a Part 107 certificate, which you can earn by passing the Part 107 test. I recommend most people study by enrolling in an online course — affording you the convenience to learn at your own pace (no commute need).
Happily, a few companies have hooked my readers up with exclusive discount codes to make this whole quest a little more affordable. Those are:
Drone Pilot Ground School: They offers a fantastic online training course with practice tests and repeatable videos. In fact, I used them to study for my test — and I passed on my first time — so I can guarantee it’s good! Use coupon code DroneGirl100 to get $100 off.
Drone Launch Academy: The people behind Drone Launch Academy are some of the nicest people in the drone industry — and the smartest! They offer a great online training course led by FAA-certified Advanced Ground Instructor David Young. Use coupon code DroneGirl50 or this link to get $50 off.
Speaking of Drone Launch Academy, they are offering a discount on their mapping course, too. After all, merely being Part 107 certified is typically not enough to land a high-paying job in drones. Honestly, the market is super saturated with wedding photographers and real estate photographers using drones. The real money is with specializations like photogrammetry and mapping.
Drone Launch Academy’s Drone Mapping And Modeling Fundamentals course is key to launching that career, covering advanced topics like Nadir vs. oblique imagery, GSD, GeoTIFF files and .SHIP files, automated flight plans and creating reports.
Their course is usually $399, but use promo code DRONEGIRLMAPS to bring it down to just $249. That’s $150 in savings!
