This story is part of the Digital Trends Prime Day 2025 coverage

Update 10/9/24: Day two of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is here and we’re keeping tabs on all of the best Prime Day drone deals to shop. There’s some leftovers from yesterday still available and we’ve even added some Prime Day drone deals to reflect what’s going on today.

Prime Day deals season is upon us once more, with the Amazon Big Deal Days event now into its second day. That means now is the perfect time to treat yourself to some cool tech like an awesome new drone. In conjunction with the best Prime Day camera deals, you can take some fantastic shots from high above the world you live in. Sure, the best Prime Day smartphone deals are good for occasional snaps, but you can’t take great aerial shots with them. Besides picking out the best Prime Day drone deals, we’ve also highlighted everything you need to consider before buying one. In no time, you’ll know exactly what to do. We update this page regularly so you’ll always be in the know as to where the best drone deals are. Let’s take a look at all you need to know. For something similarly active, don’t forget the GoPro Prime Day deals happening too.

The best Prime Day drone deals

How to choose a drone on Prime Day

Snapping up one of the best drones is the simplest thing to do, but it’s useful to know more about the subject. DJI is our manufacturer of choice, but you might want to check out the best DJI Drone alternatives instead. They can be more affordable, and knowing what your budget is proves to be a great starting point when buying a drone.

Think about if this is a passing or new hobby or you’re in for the long term. Budget accordingly. The DJI Mini 3 can be a good choice for starting out as it’s not too expensive for a drone. The best cheap drones are also worth considering but can lack crucial features as they can be quite basic. If you’re starting out, focus on features that simplify your journey. Drones, like cameras, can often be as complicated or as simple as you make them.

How we chose these drone Prime Day deals

When it comes to the best deals, we know our stuff. We spend every day seeking out awesome deals, and we’re also experts in tech. That means we can easily spot a genuinely good drone — and we can also spot one that isn’t worth your money. After all, a good deal is only good if it’s something you actually want to own. Because of that, we keep on top of all the latest drone expertise and make sure that we know what’s worth recommending.

Above, you’ll only ever see drone deals that we would recommend to our friends and family, as well as deals that we’re tempted to buy for ourselves. We update this page regularly so the best discounts are available in one place.

Sony is halting sales of memory cards and you have AI to blame for it
Global memory shortages driven by AI demand are now hitting cameras and storage cards.
Sony SD Card

Sony has hit pause on a major part of its storage business, and not-so-surprisingly, AI is one of the reasons behind it. The company has officially announced that it is temporarily suspending orders for most of its CFexpress and SD memory cards, citing a global shortage of semiconductor memory.

The suspension applies to both retailers and direct customers, and there’s currently no clear timeline for when sales will resume. This isn’t just a minor supply hiccup. Instead, it’s a sign of a much bigger problem brewing across the tech industry.
