Amazon Prime Day is taking place from July 8-11, marking the first-ever four-day event, and we've rounded up the best drone deals on the market to suit all budgets and needs.

Now is a great time to search for drone deals as you can get ahead of potential stock issues and price fluctuations during Prime Day, and weather conditions are usually clearer for flying during Summer. While there are plenty of worthwhile drone deals available, if you don't find what you're looking for, we recommend checking out the best drones, best beginner drones and best DJI drones.

This page is updated regularly throughout the year and will also be updated during Amazon Prime Day. That means you can rely on the prices you see and as we only source the discounts on this page from reputable retailers, you can rely on the quality of products you see too. Below the deals, you'll find an FAQ section for extra information. But to check out the best drone deals ahead of Amazon Prime Day, scroll down below.

FAQs

What is the best drone?

We think it's the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Simply put, it has outstanding image and video quality, three useful cameras, it flies well and it has a good battery life. We reviewed it and we think it's probably the best on the market.

When is the best time to get a drone deal?

You can often find drone deals all year round, especially on Holy Stone models, which are catered to beginners. However, annual sales events like Black Friday and Amazon Prime day often offer the biggest discounts across the widest range of drones at any point of the year.

Amazon Prime Day starts on July 8 this year and as we usually see drone deals worth getting during the sales event, if you don't find something suitable above, it's definitely worth checking back then.

Who manufacture the best drones?

DJI is the market leader in the world of drones. They make everything from professional models to beginner-friendly drones. You can often find bundles and discounts on their products but you can always rely on the quality they offer. Holy Stone also makes good drones, although they're usually suitable for beginners over seasoned fliers.

Disclaimer

June 17: We have rewritten the strapline and intro to include that Amazon Prime Day is fast approaching. We've also removed some expired drone deals and included new ones too.
