11 best Black Friday drone deals — save up to 33% on my favorite DJI, Potensic and HoverAir drones

The bigger brother of the Atom that's further down this list, the Potensic Atom SE is a lightweight drone that doesn't require FAA/CAA registration, and it's fitted with a 1/3-inch CMOS sensor that takes 12MP photos and 4K/30fps video. The Atom SE is equipped with ShakeVanish technology to help take more stable images within a 118° field of view and a vertical +20° to -90° camera. Two batteries, included in this bundle, will last you for 62 minutes, making this a great drone for adventures and travel.

DJI is the biggest name in the world of drone photography so chances are you're already aware of its fantastic creations. Now's the time to grab the Mini 3 Fly More combo with both hands and fly. In our DJI Mini 3 review, we gave it four stars for its ability to shoot vertical video for less, extremely long flight time (38 minutes), ease of flying, and its light and agile body. It weighs just 8.78oz (249g) which means you won't need to register as a drone pilot to fly it — making it the perfect gift for your friends and family, or yourself!

I'm currently testing the Potensic Atom and will be reviewing it in full soon — should the storm pass in the U.K. My first impressions of the drone have been great though. It's lightweight and comes with a storage bag which is comfortable, and it records lovely 4K/30fps footage. The 3-axis mechanical gimbal design means the drone records stable footage in winds up to 10.7m/s, and the three batteries included in this bundle should provide you with nearly 96 minutes of flight time.

With dual cameras capable of shooting 48MP stills and 4K/60fps HDR video and a flight time of up to 46 minutes, the DJI Air 3 is one of the best consumer drones. One of the two lenses allows you to zoom in 3x so you can capture every detail, and you can enjoy a stable 1080P/60fps live feed up to 12.4 miles, ensuring smooth flights with clear and reliable transmission. You can get the Fly More combo with either the RC-N2 controller for $1,009 at Amazon or the RC-2 touchscreen controller for $1,239 at Amazon.

The DJI Mini 4K Fly More features some pro specs. Not only can you capture 4K/30fps footage, but you also get access to QuickShots and panoramas with a 31-minute flight time. This small-but-mighty drone can also transmit a live feed for 10km (6.21 miles) to the included RC-2 controller. The drone also features one-tap take-off and landing, smart return to home, and stable hovering, making it the ideal drone for beginners and drone enthusiasts.

When my colleague John Velasco flew the HoverAir X1, he said it was "the most fun I’ve had flying in a long time." He praised the drone for its easy setup and quick start-up, and its pocketable size which makes the X1 perfect for travel. It also doesn't need a controller or app to fly it as it autonomously flies on its own. You get access to six quick shot modes, obstacle avoidance and excellent subject tracking too.

The Holy Stone HS110D is the best budget drone, and it's down to just $71 this Black Friday. In our Holy Stone HS110D review, we noted that this drone was a good pick for the aspiring pilot who wants to try it out before committing to a more expensive drone. This price includes two batteries, a full set of four spare rotor blades and two LED covers, plus the clip-on blade protectors, the remote, and the clip-on device that holds your phone in place above the remote controller. The small 1080P camera captures quite a bit of detail too!

The Potensic Atom LT doesn't require FAA/CAA registration as it weighs less than 8.78oz (249g), and its portable fold-up design lets you carry it around easily. For such a small drone, the Atom LT boasts a long 40-minute flight time on a single charge. Video is limited to 2.5K though, but the resulting footage is smooth and stable thanks to Potensic's ShakeVanish 2.0 stabilization technology.

No, the DJI Neo isn't discounted for Black Friday but for $199, it's still worth paying full price. This drone came out earlier this year and I loved it so much that all I could think about was flying it. In my DJI Neo review, I praised this drone for its lightweight, compact and minimalistic design. It can shoot 4K footage at 30fps, take detailed stills, and remain stable in tricky conditions. Easy to control with the RC-N3 controller or the DJI Fly app on a smartphone, the Neo makes drone photography more accessible thanks to its low price point.

Want to get a drone for your children without having to spend too much? The Holy Stone HS420 is currently 33% off at Amazon, and it comes with two batteries. Video is captured at 1080P and the camera angle can be adjusted, and you can use specific gestures to capture photos. The drone is extremely easy to use, and its small size means your kids should have no issues getting to grips with it.

Old but still gold, even though the Air 2S has been succeeded by the Air 3 and Air 3S, it's still a fantastic drone. In our DJI Air 2S review, we praised this drone for its long 31-minute flight time, 1-inch sensor that takes detailed photos, and ease of control. It takes 5.4K video and you also get some innovative flight modes designed to help capture compelling shots.
