Black Friday drone deals: your ultimate guide to deals at DJI, B&H and more
Is a drone on your Christmas list this year? Black Friday is offering LOADS of drone deals this year through stores including DJI and B&H Photo Video. You’ll save $100 on the wildly popular DJI Spark, more than $100 on my favorite pick, the DJI Mavic Pro, and you could even walk away with free extras like batteries, memory cards, landing pads and more.
Here are some of the deals you need to know about, sorted by drone, and then broken down by where to buy it:
Black Friday drone deals: DJI Spark
The DJI Spark is DJI’s smallest drone and perhaps its smartest, able to lift off from the palm of your hand and make a decision of where to fly based on your body movements. The drone is so wildly popular, it was even named one of Time Magazine’s 25 Best Inventions of 2017. The drone typically retails for $499, but it’s way cheaper if you buy it on Black Friday.
Great for: Beginners, Students, Travelers, and People who love taking selfies and group photos.
Buy the DJI Spark from DJI’s store: Purchase the DJI Spark directly from the DJI Store, and you’ll save $100.

DJI’s Black Friday promotion begins at 12 a.m. EST on Nov. 23 — that’s Thanksgiving day — and ends at 2:59 a.m, EST on Nov. 28. The “direct through DJI” promotional prices are available on DJI’s website, at DJI Authorized Dealers and in all DJI Flagship Stores.
Great post and some lovely drone deals indeed around now. DJI Mavic is excellent but if you already have a GoPro camera then the Karma drone could be the job. The smaller Breeze and Spark are also nice choices especially as first drones.
The karma drone sucks, even the version 2 which just came out this year, probably one of the worst drones actually. It doesn’t stay in one place at all, at least they fixed the battery falling out problem they had lol … If anything, as a Christmas present I’d go with the DJI spark
