DJI’s official eBay storefront is offering its DJI FPV Drone Combo for $720 shipped in certified refurbished condition. This is renewed by the company itself and comes with a 2-year warranty.

Amazon is now offering the best price ever on the DJI RC. If you’ve been looking to ditch your iPhone from your drone setup, now is your chance, as the companion remote with a built-in screen now sells for $255.99 shipped. It would normally set you back $309 and now it is $53 off. It’s not only a new all-time low, but also well below our previous mention which had the controller starting off the year at $273. Black Friday also saw the DJI RC at $290, for further comparison.
It’s time to finally stop relying on your iPhone to monitor video feeds from your drone, as Amazon is marking down the DJI RC.

Owning a drone used to be an expensive hobby. Not any more. Right now, you can get the Alpha Z PRO 4K and Flying Fox 4K camera drones bundled together for only $99.97 (Reg. $398) in a limited-time deal at gadgetnewsonline Specials.

Amazon is offering the DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo Drone for $4,499 shipped. Down $500 from its typical $4,999 going rate, which it still fetches at Best Buy, today’s deal comes in as the first discount that we’ve seen on this high-end drone since it was released. In fact, this is a fairly rare discount all around because typically the DJI drones we see go on sale are the low- to mid-range models, and we normally don’t see $500 in savings on them either, making this a particularly notable deal. This drone is designed to give you ultra high-quality footage or photos from above. It has a 4/3 CMOS Hassleblad camera which delivers 12.8 stops of dynamic range to “retain more details in highlights and shadows.” The included battery lets you fly for 46 minutes at a time, and you’ll get three total batteries in this kit for over two hours of flight time with the Mavic 3 Cine before you need to stop.
You’ll find omnidirectional obstacle sensing for safer flying, and the included RC Pro controller has a built-in screen and delivers 15-kilometer max transmission range. Further pushing the video functionality, the DJI Mavic 3 Cine features the ability to record in ProRes 422/HQ/LT as well as both H.264 and H.265 formats which will help out in providing more visual information when it comes time to edit. It also has HyperLapse, ActiveTrack, MasterShots, and Waypoint Flight functions so you can pre-program the drone with specific moves and have it perform them automatically for smoother recording. Be sure to watch our hands-on coverage of the Mavic 3 Cine if you want to learn more about the drone. Head below for additional information.
Potensic’s official Amazon storefront is offering its Atom SE 4K GPS Drone Fly More Combo Kit for $249.99 shipped. Down from $300, this $50 sale marks only the second discount that we’ve tracked since the Atom SE launched in December and is a return to its all-time low price. The Atom SE is a mini drone that comes in at under 250 grams, meaning that you can fly it in the US and Canada without having to register this drone. While it comes in a compact size, you’ll find the 4K30 video and 12MP photo camera is great for capturing sunsets, aerial views, and more. The two included batteries deliver a combined 62 minutes of flight time, which is actually a pretty good length once you’re in the air. The camera itself can capture both JPG and RAW (DNG) photos and 4K HDR video with a 118 degree field of view and the ability to go from 20 to negative 90 degrees on the camera adjustment. Plus, there’s electronic ShakeVanish image stabilization to help reduce wobble from flying for a more stable recording experience. The remote even works from over 13,000 feet away, ensuring that you can take flight and go just about anywhere. Take a deeper dive into what Potensic’s latest Atom SE drone has to offer from our hands-on coverage over at DroneDJ before heading below for more.
Amazon now offers the DJI FPV Combo for $999 shipped. Normally fetching $1,299, today’s offer amounts to $300 in savings and matches the lowest we’ve seen on a new condition model. Our last mention was back in April, for comparison. Those who don’t mind going the refurbished route can score a model from eBay right now for $949, saving you an extra $50 and marking a new all-time low. Includes a full warranty. While not the new Avata drone, DJI’s FPV offering arrives as a more affordable package for getting in on the first person flight sessions. In the box you’re getting the nimble quadcopter itself as well as a bundled controller and the FPV goggles themselves. One of its more eye-catching stats is the 60MPH top speed that allows the drone to keep up with cars and capture footage in scenarios that DJI’s other offerings couldn’t. Dive into our hands-on review and then head below for more.
Dronesuperstore (a DJI Authorized seller) via eBay is now offering the DJI Mini 2 Drone with two extra batteries for $399 shipped in certified refurbished condition. Normally you’d pay $529 for this bundle, with today’s offer marking the lowest we’ve seen in over a month. This is a grand total of $130 in savings and also comes within $24 of the 2022 low. If you don’t need the added batteries, just the drone is down at $379, though doesn’t deliver quite as notable of a value at only $70 off.
DJI Mini 2 arrives as a solid mix between being an ultra-lightweight quadcopter and having notable features to back it up. Weighing in at 249 grams, it still manages to deliver a 3-axis gimbal backed by 4K/30FPS footage and a 31-minute runtime per each of the three included batteries. Includes the full 2-year warranty and you can read more about the eBay refurbished experience right here. Head below for more.

From DroneDJ:
DJI’s Mavic Air was announced last week to a flurry of great reviews. We’re currently putting together our review but spoiler: We can say that this is the drone to get in the ~$800 price range.
One way to save money is buying the Fly More combo but that’s not saving money off the original DJI Mavic Air, it is saving over $200 on accessories when purchased at the same time.
The good news is that we’ve done some digging and negotiating to get the lowest price offers from various resellers on the Mavic Air. Head below for the breakdown…
Drones are one of the biggest gadgets on the market these days. No one knows this better than KFC apparently, as the fast-food chain has unveiled its very own smartphone-enabled drone. So if today’s DJI Mavic Air announcement wasn’t enough to sate your desire for drone news, then you’re in luck, as The Colonel himself has your back.
DJI’s official Newegg store is currently offering its Phantom 4 Quadcopter for $759 shipped. That’s good for $140 off the going rate at B&H, beats the Amazon all-time low by $110 and is the best offer out there. It holds a 4+ star rating from 65% of customers.
A new Kickstarter funded drone is attempting to change the way we record video in our daily lives. It’s called PITTA and it can transform from an action camera to a drone to a mountable in a matter seconds. PITTA’s main goal is to give you the opportunity to get the best shots when you are out having a good time.
Wellbots is offering 9to5 readers an exclusive deal on the Parrot Bebop 2 drone. While we are expecting to see the Parrot Bebop 2 drop down to $399.99 during Best Buy’s Black Friday 2017 sale, Wellbots has a solid deal for us on the Power Pack FPV bundle.
Drones or quadcopters or whatever you would like to call them, have quickly gone from tools only Hollywood filmmakers use to something every 5th grader is crashing into your backyard. Once delegated to the film set, you can buy one of these things for under $20 and fly it around your house with a smartphone now. Companies like DJI have done a fantastic job at maintaining that high-end, professional focus it cut its teeth on while now offering up some very capable and pretty affordable machines for the rest of us.
While you will still have to fork out some decent cash for even the most affordable flyer from a well-known company, we recently spotted a new LEGO-style drone courtesy of Force Flyers at a much more affordable price. With a universal block building design, some light STEM learning features and the build it yourself LEGO like approach, it certainly caught our eye.
Building something yourself is always more satisfying than buying one off the shelf. With the Force Flyers DIY Fly ‘n Drive Drone, it’s also much cheaper. This fun kit lets you build one of two RC vehicles, and it’s currently just $33 (Orig. $50) at gadgetnewsonline Specials.

The DJI Phantom 3 Standard doesn’t feature the ease of use of the Spark, the portability of the Mavic Pro, or the professional level features of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro, but it provides a stellar bang for the buck at refurb pricing.
This drone is especially nice for those who may just be starting out, as am I. After mostly-avoiding the quadcopter craze over the past few years, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard is my first real experience with a drone; now that I’ve tried it I have to admit I’m hooked.

DJI’s official Newegg store offers its Phantom 4 Drone in certified refurbished condition for $729 shipped. That’s a $670 savings off the original price, down $200 from most online retailers for a new condition model and $1 less than our previous mention. Buying direct from DJI has a number of benefits, including a standard warranty from the manufacturer. We loved the Phantom 4 in our hands-on review and Best Buy customers largely agree leaving a 4.7/5 star rating.
Many of us know DJI for its easy-to-fly and popular consumer drones, including the recently released Phantom 4 Advanced. But its lineup also includes a number of professional-grade devices as well. While these might not be applicable for you or I, it’s still pretty incredible to see the technology that DJI is putting up in the sky.
Its latest release comes in partnership with the recently acquired Hasselblad. The 100MP M600 Pro Drone is a Hollywood-grade device with a price tag to match. Even though this is probably too much fire power for the average consumer, it’s still fun to aww over the incredible power and specifications of this monster.
You’ve probably captured many aerial shots with the plethora of drones filling up the skies, now it’s time to take to the seas with the Gladius Ultra HD Underwater Drone. This remote-controlled submarine with a 4K or 1080p camera (based on which model you choose) can dive to 100 meters and weighs only 6.6 pounds. It measures 16.9″x10.2″x3.7″, so you can transport it just about anywhere inside a backpack or with the included hard-shell case.
Aukey Direct via Amazon is once again offering its Mini Drone with a free app and Wi-Fi control for $29.99, but if you use the code AUKEYUAV the price drops to just $23.09 Prime shipped. That’s nearly $7 off the regular price, a match to our previous mention and the lowest we’ve seen for it at Amazon.
With this tiny quadcopter, you’ll be able to take-off, land and perform aerobatic flips with the touch of a button. It’s also small enough to fit in your bag or pocket to take wherever you go. You even get some replacement blades with your purchase if you should happen to crash. Rated 4.1/5 stars by Amazon shoppers.
DJI’s official Newegg Store is once again offering the Phantom 3 Professional Drone w/ 4K UHD Video Camera (Refurb) for $569 shipped.

We still have DJI’s Phantom 3 Standard on sale for $399 shipped (Reg. $500).
It’s been a crazy last two months on the consumer drone scene. GoPro announced its new Karma quadcopter (and subsequently recalled it) and DJI showcased the compact Mavic Pro. Today, the latter is showing off the Inspire 2. DJI’s latest drone hits the scene with impressive professional-grade specs including the ability to travel at 67MPH. Designed with high-end video production in mind, the second generation Inspire improves on the original version in many ways.
https://youtu.be/XBHuftMcmis
Inspire pilots will be happy to know that DJI has boosted the internal battery to provide up to 25 minutes of flight time. That’s a seven minute increase and a welcome improvement to one of the most complained about Inspire features. It can also fly to a mind-blowing 16,400 feet above sea level. Finally, it has a built-in camera capable of capturing 5.2K video. Coolest of all is a self-heating system for use when traveling in the coolest of temperatures. Inspire 2 is available for pre-order today at $2,999.
DJI’s announcement also brings an upgraded version of the Phantom 4. This new Pro-grade model will retail for $1,499 with a massive 20MP sensor, a mechanical auto-focus system and up to 4-miles of range.
