Black Friday drone deals: save 41% on the DJI Mavic Air and more

If you're looking for the best Black Friday drone deals, you've come to the right place – we've gathered all of the best discounts that are still live in this regularly updated guide.

So what kind of drones have received Black Friday price cuts? Like the drone world in general, this list is dominated by DJI's flying cameras. The company is considered the go-to drones brand for good reason – models like the Mavic 2 series combine superb image stabilization with smart flying features, making them suitable for a wide variety of pilots. (Not in the US or UK? You'll find all the best drone deals in your region further down this page).

While the official DJI store has some tempting offers, including £50 off the excellent Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom, its Black Friday drone deals have also been undercut by other retailers.

In those cases, we've included the cheapest offer we can find. For example, the DJI Mavic 2 Pro is currently available from Jessops in the UK with a free DJI ND filter set, which nudges it ahead of rival deals that we've seen. Whatever kind of drone you're looking for – including replicas of the USS Enterprise – you'll find some record low prices below. Happy flying. 

Best Black Friday drone deals (US)

Air Hogs Star Trek USS Enterprise $129.99 $89.99 at Amazon
Okay, it doesn't have a camera, but this impressive replica of the USS Enterprise is a different kind of drone. It has ten authentic sound effects and the controller even has a warp speed switch for an extra burst of speed mid-flight (hopefully not straight into your flatmate's face).View Deal

Ryze Tello $99 $89 at DJI
The perfect learner drone for anyone who wants to learn the basics of flying a quadcopter, the Ryze Tello also packs a camera that can shoot 720p video and 5MP stills. Down to just $89 with this 10% off deal, it packs some nifty flying tricks and automated take-off and landing, too.View Deal

DJI Mavic Mini $399 $359 at DJI
DJI's little beginner-friendly drone has been $40 discount for Black Friday, which means it's now $90 cheaper than the new Mini 2. While the latter brings 4K video, it's not a huge upgrade on 2019's Mavic Mini, which shoots superb gimbal-stabilized video and packs DJI's automated QuickShot modes, too.View Deal

DJI Mavic Air Fly More Combo $1,149 $679 at Amazon
Save a massive 40% on this Fly More Combo for the DJI Mavic Air. It may have now been succeeded by the Mavic Air 2, but this remains a very capable 4K drone – it has a 100Mbps bit-rate, HDR stills and near-perfect obstacle avoidance. This bundle includes three batteries and shoulder bag among many other accessories.View Deal

DJI Mavic Air 2 $909 $799 at B&H Photo Video
Our number one drone doesn't have too many discounts yet, but this bundle is one of the best. You get a free SanDisk 128GB Extreme UHS-1 microSDXC card, landing pad and an optics cleaning kit, along with our favourite drone around for beginners and hobbyists. The Mavic Air 2 shoots 4K/60p video and a much-improved battery life.View Deal

Autel Evo II Plus On The Go Bundle $1,813 $1,595 at Autel
Autel has quickly built a reputation as a genuine rival to DJI and the Evo II is certainly an aerial powerhouse, with a 48MP sensor, 120Mbps bit-rate and a 40-minute battery life. This special Black Friday offer includes two batteries, a shoulder bag and five pairs of props, on top the standard controller and drone itself, and save you $218 on the bundle's usual price.View Deal

Best Black Friday drone deals (UK)

Ryze Tello £99 £89 at DJI
Looking for a learner drone to teach you all the flying basics while capturing 720p video? The Ryze Tello is the best around and it's now down to only £89 in this 10% off deal. Its app comes with automatic take-off and landing controls, along with some nifty tricks like 'throw and go'.View Deal

DJI Mavic Mini £369.99 £329 at Amazon
This tiny drone is a superb choice for beginners and has just hit its lowest ever price. The Mavic Mini has just been succeeded by the DJI Mini 2, but we reckon it's better value if you don't need the latter's 4K video shooting. Its 12MP, gimbal-stabilized camera shoots excellent video, and you get DJI's superb QuickShot modes for automated flying maneuvers.View Deal

DJI Mavic Mini Combo £459 £409 at Amazon
If you can afford it, we usually recommend getting the Fly More Combo bundles for DJI drones – and this Mavic Mini one is, like the standard bundle, also discounted by a decent 11% right now. It comes with three batteries, a carry bag, a two-way charging hub and 360-degree prop guards, among other accessories.View Deal

DJI Mavic 2 Zoom £1,099 £949 at Currys
This DJI drone has one killer feature – its 24-48mm optical zoom, which lets you shoot video of people while maintaining a safe distance. The Mavic 2 Zoom isn't a one-trick pony either, with its lightweight, foldable design and intelligent flight modes making it one of favourite fliers. This excellent deal saves you £150.View Deal

DJI Mavic 2 Pro £1,349 £1,299 at Jessops
We did briefly see the Mavic 2 Pro's price drop to £1,099 over Black Friday, but this Jessops deal is a close second because it includes a free DJI ND filter set that's worth £99. That's a nice little bonus for what is the best travel-friendly drone around for image quality, thanks to its one-inch sensor and a handy adjustable aperture.View Deal
