Amazon Prime Day — or more accurately, Prime Days — is back, bigger than ever, and officially underway. In 2025, the mega summer shopping event kicked off on July 8 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through July 11 at midnight. That gives Prime members four full days — or 96 hours — to score deals on millions of items, including drones, cameras and creator-friendly gear.
Whether you’re a seasoned aerial cinematographer, FPV racer, hobbyist pilot or just picking up your first quadcopter, Prime Day is a golden opportunity to stock up on high-tech gear at a serious discount.
Remember, you’ll need an Amazon Prime membership to shop most of these deals. If you’re not a member, consider signing up for a 30-day trial. Students and young adults (ages 18–24) can even get Amazon Prime for 50% off the usual price.
Drone Girl’s Guide to 2025 Amazon Prime Day
New for 2025 Amazon Prime Day: ‘Today’s Big Deals’
New this year, Amazon launched a feature called “Today’s Big Deals,” featuring timed drops and flash discounts on big-name brands — including some of your favorite drone companies. Expect fresh offers as often as every five minutes during peak hours, so check back often.
I’ll be updating this guide as new aerial photography and creator-focused deals go live throughout the sale.
The best 2025 Amazon Prime Day drone deals
Here are some of the best drone deals available for now (though expect more to come in the days ahead!):
DJI Mini 4K Fly More Combo – 20% off
Of all the DJI drones under $500, the DJI Mini 4K is the best value for the price. And for Prime Day 2025, it’s even less than $400! At under 249g and packed with pro features, this bundle includes three batteries for a total of 93 minutes of flight time.
DJI Neo Three-Battery Combo – 21% off
I am absolutely in love with the DJI Neo as a great drone for kids and beginners. This is an ultra-lightweight drone with 4K video and palm takeoff. Consider it great for casual creators and social media pros. And since it’s so small, no registration is required (for hobbyist use). Check out my full DJI Neo review.
DJI Air 3 (RC-N2) – 15% off
It’s no Air 3S, but it’s the next best thing (and it’s cheaper). Though you should still check out my guide to the DJI Air 3 versus DJI Air 3S, I do consider the DJI Air 3 to be one of the best photography drones for the money out there. It’s a mid-range drone with dual cameras, 46-minute max flight time, and omnidirectional obstacle sensing.
30% off HoverAir drones
The HOVERAir X1 Pro and ProMax are a series of lightweight, foldable drones. Both make for some strong alternatives to DJI drones, such as the DJI Neo or the newer DJI Flip. The HOVERAir X1 PROMAX and HOVERAir X1 PRO drones launched in summer 2024 and have been going strong.
Sure, you can buy it now from B&H Photo or directly from HOVERAir, but Amazon is selling them for 30% off as part of their 2025 Amazon Prime Day sale.
Prime Day deals on other cameras that drone creators love
23% off GoPro HERO13 Black
The GoPro HERO13 Black is the latest in action camera tech, built with aerial creators in mind. Offering 5.3K60 video, 27MP stills, and compatibility with the new HB-Series Lenses, it’s a serious upgrade for drone flyers who want cinematic footage without the bulk.
Launched in late 2024, the HERO13 Black delivers longer battery life, advanced stabilization, and better low-light performance than its predecessor. Whether mounted to a drone or used handheld for behind-the-scenes shots, it’s a top pick for aerial filmmakers.
Amazon is offering multiple versions at a discount (yes, the Polar White colorway is also available at the same discount).
- Standard: $329 (was $429.99)
- Creator Edition: $549.99 (was $649.99)
- HERO13 Bundle: $379.00 (was $479.99)
DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo – 31% off
This is the old model of DJI’s latest in its action camera line (the Osmo Action 5 is the latest). But for the price, it’s hard to argue with the Action 4, which is a fantastic 4K/120fps camera with pro color tools, waterproofing and long battery life.
Prime Day deals on other tech products and accessories for drone pilots
Bandolier Miller Crossbody Bag – 20% off
This sleek leather bag is designed for fashion-forward function. I personally tuck my DJI RC inside alongside my phone — it fits perfectly! It features a molded phone pocket, internal zip and removable strap with D-ring. A perfect travel-ready drone controller case in disguise.
Apple AirTag 4-Pack – 34% off
Tuck these into your drone case or gear bag to track everything, everywhere. With Precision Finding and Siri integration, they’re essential for travel or fieldwork.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 – 40% off
Crystal-clear sound, adaptive transparency, and active noise cancellation — these earbuds are ideal for editing drone footage in noisy spaces or taking calls from the field.
31% off Echo Dot (5th Gen) + Marvel Iron Man Stand Bundle
This bundle pairs Amazon’s best-sounding Echo Dot with a Limited Edition Iron Man stand — a fun, functional addition to any smart drone studio. If you know Drone Girl, you know I love Disney and Marvel — so I had to throw this one in.
The 5th Gen Echo Dot generally stands out because it offers clearer vocals and deeper bass, ideal for playing music, controlling your smart devices, or managing voice-activated workflows. I chose this specific one purely for the Iron Man stand..
Normally $89.98, it’s $61.98 for Prime Day.
25% off TP-Link Deco AX3000 Mesh Wi-Fi System
Whether you’re uploading 4K drone footage or livestreaming a flying session, reliable internet is key. The TP-Link Deco X55 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System covers up to 6,500 square feet and supports up to 150 devices with strong, uninterrupted connectivity.
Each of the three nodes includes three gigabit Ethernet ports, ideal for creators with wired editing setups. The system uses AI-driven mesh technology to optimize your signal, room by room.
Originally $199.99, the 3-pack is now $149.98 — and it includes TP-Link HomeShield security features to protect your network.
