Save 34% on Our Favorite DJI Drone During Amazon Prime Day
The DJI Mini 4K is rarely ever at a price like this.
by New Technology · Popular Mechanics- The DJI Mini 4K, our best overall drone recommendation, is 34% off as part of Amazon Prime Day.
- The DJI Mini 4K is a great all-around model with a 4K camera, and a motor that powers it to fly at up to 35 mph.
- Since the U.S. banned foreign-made drones last year, options (and sale opportunities) have been limited.
It’s time to bring home all the gadgets you’ve had in your shopping cart since January. There’s tons of tech on sale during Amazon Prime Day this week, including some good deals on drones. The event, which runs from June 23 through the end of the day on June 26, has some shockingly good deals on several drones we’ve tested and loved. In fact, the DJI Mini 4K drone, our best overall pick, is currently 34 percent off—that’s $100 off MSRP, and the lowest price we’ve seen all year.

While new drone models made outside the U.S. are still banned in this country, the ones that hit stores prior to November 2025 are still on the market. We like the DJI Mini 4K as a great all-around pick for all kinds of pilots. It features a three-axis gimbal and a 4K camera, meaning you’ll shoot clear, smooth footage that won’t get disrupted by the wind. At the same time, it has a powerful motor that can fly at speeds of up to 35 mph, and can take off from great heights, lifting off at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters.
This particular sale is on a combo that, alongside the drone, comes with two batteries, a shoulder bag, and a remote controller that works in tandem with your smartphone. This sale isn’t going to last, and with the future of consumer drones in the U.S. extremely uncertain, this feels like a really good opportunity to bring one home and give it a try.
