Don't need all of the extras in the kit below? Amazon has the original Mavic Mini on sale for $50 off right now, equalling the lowest price we've seen for it.

DJI Mavic Mini Fly More Combo was $499 now $298 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
This kit bundles together the first version of DJI's excellent Mavic Mini with a huge number of accessories designed to help you get more from your drone. It comes with two extra batteries, two extra pairs of propellers, a 360° propeller guard, 2-way charging hub, carry bag and more. While it only offers 2.7K recording rather than the 4K of the new Mini 2, it's still a great drone.

DJI Mini 2 bundle: was $693 now $449 @Adorama (opens in new tab)
The DJI Mini 2 is our favorite drone, so we're definitely on the lookout for good deals around it. We're yet to see it discounted yet, but this deal bundles it with a 64GB microSD card, shoulder bag and Corel editing software for PC. Given that the price is what you'd pay elsewhere for the drone on its own, we think this is well worth checking out.

DJI FPV: was $1,299 now $999 @ B&H Photo (opens in new tab)
The DJI FPV is one of the best drones on the planet, and in our review we described it as making you "feel like superman" — which seems like a good thing. It's supremely user-friendly but also fast and this B&H Photo deal takes $300 off the usual price. Amazon also has the same saving (opens in new tab).

DJI FPV Fly More Combo: was $1,598 now $1,294 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
This Amazon deal bundles together the DJI FPV drone with its motion controller, an extra battery and a battery charging hub.

Snaptain SP7100 Drone with Remote Controller: was $299 now $199 @Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Though remarkably cheap, the Snaptain SP7100 is a more than capable drone, with a 4K camera and advanced flight modes such as waypoints and gesture controls. Don't expect DJI levels of quality here — there's no gimbal, so footage isn't the smoothest, and flight time is only 26 minutes. But if you're just starting out in drone photography it's a well regarded beginner's option.

Parrot ANAFI: was $699 now $448 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
One of the best alternatives to DJI's many drones, the Parrot ANAFI has one feature you won't find on its rivals: The ANAFI's gimbal-mounted camera can rotate up, so you can take photos and videos of objects above the drone. It's also compact, captures 4K video and can last for 25 minutes on one battery — but note that it does lack collision detection. 

Skydio 2 Starter Kit was $1,349 now $949 @ Skydio (opens in new tab)
This massive deal on Skydio's 4K Skydio 2 drone slashes the price by $400, making it one of the best Black Friday drone deals we've seen so far. The Starter Kit bundle includes everything you need to get up and running, including a battery, two extra propellers, charging cable, power brick and hard case. Plus it's ready to ship right away. 

Autel Robotics EVO II: was $1,499 now $1,274 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
The Autel Robotics EVO II sits right at the top end of the prosumer category, capturing 8K footage and using 12 computer vision sensors to avoid in-air collisions. This Best Buy deal slashes $225 off the usual price.

PowerVision PowerRay Wizard Underwater Drone Kit: was $999 now $799 @ Adorama (opens in new tab)
If you want to go looking for the Loch Ness Monster, then you'll need an underwater drone. This PowerVision drone has a sonar that can gather data on water temperature, depth, underwater landscape, and fish distribution, and can dive down to 98 feet. It can motor along at 3-4 knots for up to four hours, and has a camera that can shoot 12MP stills and 4K video.

Snaptain H823H Mini Drone for Kids: was $89 now $29 @Walmart (opens in new tab)
Wow! This is a massive saving on a child-friendly drone from Snaptain. It offers plenty of features to help the little ones get the most from their new gadget, including altitude hold, 3D flips, one-key return and more.

Snaptain SP650 HD 1080p Drone: was $79 now $69 @Best Buy (opens in new tab)
If you want a really cheap option this Black Friday, look no further than the Snaptain SP650. Sure, it only shoots Full HD rather than 4K video, but it still has useful features such as voice control and course following based on routes you draw on your phone. Oh, and it costs less than $70 right now.

Snaptain S5C PRO FHD Drone: was $99 now $79 @Best Buy (opens in new tab)
If you want a really cheap option this Black Friday, look no further than the Snaptain S5C Pro. Sure, it only shoots Full HD rather than 4K video, but it still has useful features such as voice control and altitude hold. Oh, and it costs less than $80 right now.

SanDisk Extreme Plus 128GB microSD card was $67 now $19 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Many drones use microSD cards, so this incredible deal on a 128GB SanDisk Extreme Plus is the ideal accessory for your new quadcopter. With a read speed of up to 170MB/s and a write speed of 90MB/s, it's just the thing for capturing high-resolution 4K footage and detailed stills.

DJI Spark/Mavic bag was $35 now $23 @ Walmart (opens in new tab)
Drones can need a lot of accessories, including spare parts, batteries, chargers and cables — so this DJI bag is just the thing for keeping it all safe in one place. There's space for either a DJI Spark or Mavic plus a controller, four batteries, a smartphone and cables/other smaller accessories, and it's currently 35% off in this Walmart deal. 

Bower 4-Piece Secure Kit for DJI Spark: was $49 now $15 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
If you own one of DJI's sadly now discontinued Sparks, this secure kit is just the thing to keep it safe. The propeller guards add stability in flight, and the propeller lock holds the blades in place so you can transport it without them getting damaged. There's also a landing gear to give you extra ground clearance when touching down. For $15, it's a steal.
