Why You Can Trust CNET Best DJI Drone Deals: Save Up to $350 on Some of the Best Drones Out There
The DJI drones are some of our favorites, and now you don't have to break the bank to get your hands on them.
DJI makes some of the best drones on the market -- it's taken nearly every spot on CNET's list of favorite drones. The company has a range of models, from drones designed for personal use to those used specifically for aerial photography and videography. Since they're such high quality, they can be costly. However, we found some great deals to help you snag one for a decent price.
Released in late 2023, the Mini 4 Pro is the newest DJI drone on the market. It's extremely lightweight at just 249 grams, is equipped with a 48-megapixel sensor and can capture stunning 4K video at 60 frames per second (or 100fps in slow motion). Plus, it can shoot in portrait mode, which is vital for content creators. It offers a few improvements over the Mini 3, including 1080p transmission with a range of up to 20 kilometers, and it'll automatically keep your subject centered while shooting videos.
This bundle comes with the RC 2 controller, which has a built-in 1080p display, as well as a 128GB microSD card, a landing pad and a lens-cleaning kit.
The basic DJI Mini 3 is a slight step down from the Pro model that made our list of the best drones, but it has all the same features that made it a favorite. Most importantly, it allows you to shoot video in both portrait and landscape modes, which makes it a great pick for Instagram and TikTok content creators. It boasts 4K HDR video and a 38-minute flight time, and it's still incredibly lightweight and compact at just 249 grams (8.8 ounces).
Note that this price comes with the basic controller, but you can upgrade to the controller with a built-in screen for $609, which is also $90 off the usual price.
If you want a first-person experience but for a little less money, you can snag the DJI FPV. This was the company's original first-person drone, and it offers many of the same features as DJI's Avata, including immersive goggles for piloting and 4K 60fps video. It's a little larger and heavier than the Avata, but it's a solid pick for beginner pilots who want to try out first-person flying.
There aren't any discounts on the basic kit at the moment, but you can save $134 on this bundle that comes with a hardshell case, a 256GB microSD card and a landing pad.
At $1,400 even after a discount, this DJI drone is meant for serious aerial photographers. The Mavic 3 is our favorite high-end photography drone on the market right now, and it features a 20-megapixel camera. It supports stunning 5K video and has built-in autofocus. This outdoor drone package comes with the drone and a remote control that has a built-in screen.
