Ah, January — the month of fresh starts, resolutions and — for the savvy shopper — some of the best drone deals. Much like the travel industry’s post-holiday sales, January is prime time for snagging drones at reduced prices. Whether you’re a seasoned drone enthusiast or looking to launch your drone journey, this is one of the best times to score some top-tier tech for less.
Sure, you might be participating in “Buy Nothing January,” but if you’ve been eyeing a drone, these discounts might just make it worth breaking your resolution. (Sorry!) Let’s dive into some of the best drone deals that January 2025 has to offer (sorted by size of the discount, with the biggest discounts first):
Discount: 25.4%
Price: $9,399.00 (Reg. $12,599.00) Save $3,200.00
Autel is considered one of the best DJI alternatives, both in the consumer and enterprise drone department. And this particular one is on big sale.
The Autel Robotics EVO Max 4N Industrial Drone is a strong, non-DJI choice (though like DJI, it is made in China) for professionals in mapping, inspections, and emergency services. With advanced features like thermal imaging and anti-jamming capabilities, it’s a high-performing powerhouse. A 25% discount on such a premium product makes this an extraordinary deal for professionals needing cutting-edge technology.
Discount: 25%
Price: $299.00 (Reg. $399.00) Save $100.00
These lightweight, foldable drones are another alternative DJI drone for beginners who want hassle-free flying. With intelligent self-flying modes and palm takeoff, they’re fun and portable options. Consider it a competitor to either the DJI Neo or the newer DJI Flip (it also sits in the middle of both in terms of price).
The HOVERAir X1 is the older model to the spiffier HOVERAir X1 PROMAX and HOVERAir X1 PRO drones, which launched in summer 2024.
A 25% discount makes them even more attractive for casual users.

This version of the Mavic 3 is ideal for creators who want Hasselblad-quality footage without the premium features of the Pro and Cine versions. Though it’s a slightly older model, the savings make it a strong contender for photographers and videographers seeking pro-level quality.

The Mini 4 Pro is DJI’s fanciest model within the DJI Mini line. It packs a surprising amount of power into its compact frame (which weighs less than 250 grams). With omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and 4K video capabilities, it’s an excellent option for hobbyists. While the percentage off isn’t huge, this discount is notable given how this is not exactly an “old” model.
Discount: 5.6%
Price: $1,569.99 (Reg. $1,662.93) Save $92.94
The Air 3 strikes a balance between performance and portability, offering dual cameras and excellent video resolution. Released in mid-2024, it’s still a relatively new model. But, without the price discount, it would pale in comparison to the newer, spiffier DJI Air 3S. Keep in mind with this deal that the percentage savings are modest, but the bundled accessories make it a solid value.

Discount: 10%
Price: $659.99 (Reg. $732.93) Save $72.94
Perfect for FPV enthusiasts, the Avata excels in close-range filming and immersive flight experiences. While the discount is on the smaller side, the Avata’s niche features and included accessories justify its price for those exploring FPV.
And then up next, we have all sorts of configurations of the DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone that are on sale:
Discount: 6.4%
Price: $3,089.99 (Reg. $3,302.88) Save $212.89
A slightly pared-down version of the RC Pro bundle, this kit still offers outstanding image quality and versatility. If you don’t need the premium RC Pro remote, this deal strikes the perfect balance between performance and cost.
Discount: 6%
Price: $3,939.99 (Reg. $4,192.88) Save $252.89
This kit is perfect for creators who want an upgraded RC Pro remote and premium build quality. The discount isn’t groundbreaking, but the Fly More Combo ensures you’re fully equipped for extended shoots, making this a strong value.
Discount: 5.5%
Price: $4,819.99 (Reg. $5,102.88) Save $282.89
The Cine version of the Mavic 3 Pro is still among the most advanced drones on the market, offering unmatched video quality and ProRes capabilities. This discount is modest, but considering its top-tier specs, it’s probably still worth every penny for professional filmmakers.
Discount: 1.7%
Price: $4,819.99 (Reg. $4,902.93) Save $82.99
This Cine version includes fewer extras compared to the hard case kit but still delivers cinema-grade footage with its tri-camera system. While the percentage discount is minimal, professionals seeking the best image quality might still find this deal worthwhile.
