2023 Amazon Big Deal Day: The best deals for drone lovers, and more! 

2023 Amazon Big Deal Days kicks off today and runs through tomorrow, Oct. 11. Amazon Big Deal Days is a sale event exclusively for Prime members — think Amazon Prime Day 2.0.  

Drone enthusiasts, in particular, have a reason to celebrate as the first annual Amazon Big Deal Days showcases deals on drones and related accessories. So with that, here’s your comprehensive handbook to the top drone-related deals during the 2023 Amazon Big Deal Days (plus one bonus deal not on Amazon at the end):

Pro tips for finding the best 2023 Amazon Big Deal Days deals

Shop fast (and often): New deals drop as often as every five minutes, so check back on Amazon’s site intermittently. And if you come across a great deal that I haven’t mentioned and believe fellow drone enthusiasts would appreciate, feel free to share it in the comments below. Let’s get those great deals together! 

You need Amazon Prime access (which you can get for free): You’ll need an Amazon Prime membership to access most of these deals, which involves a membership fee. But here’s a hack: you can easily obtain Prime membership for a 30-day free trial by registering for Amazon Prime here (just be sure to cancel it after the items have been shipped if you don’t plan on maintaining the subscription — otherwise your card on file will be charged).  

Below I have updated some of the best deals, however, deals go quickly, and new deals are added even quicker.  I recommend bookmarking, Amazon Deals Page, where all the items included in the sale should appear. 

Prime Big Deal Days deals will likely sell out quickly, and new deals will likely be added throughout the sale event. 

Big Savings on DJI Products

16% off the DJI Osmo Action 3 Creator Combo (normally $379, now $319)

The DJI Osmo Action 3 Creator Combo includes the camera along with 2 batteries, a 32 GB micro SD card, and other essentials needed for various scenarios and content creation. The portable camera shoots in 4K HDR video with a 160-minute battery life.

You’ll save $60 if you purchase the Osmo Action 3 during Amazon Big Deal Days, an excellent deal for a high-quality DJI product.

20% off the DJI Goggles 2 Motion Combo-Immersive (normally $799, now $639)

The DJI Goggles 2 are easy to pack and take anywhere. The immersive motion control technology is intuitive and dynamic, just tilt your wrist and use the joystick to navigate and maneuver through the sky in a unique and connected way. And no need to wear your normal glasses, the Goggles 2 allows you to adjust the diopters from +2.0 to -8.0.

If you purchase during Amazon Big Deal Days, you’ll save $160. This is the lowest price for this impressive DJI product that Amazon has listed in over 30 days. If you have been thinking of purchasing immersive goggles, act now.

6% off the DJI Avata Explorer Combo (normally $1,278, now $1,198)

The DJI Avata is DJI’s fresh take on DJI FPV but provides a completely different experience than the DJI FPV drone. This drone is perfect for flying inside. And now, during Amazon Big Deal Days you can save $80 on the FPV racing drone. The Avata Explorer Combo comes with the drone, Goggles Integra, and RC Motion 2.

The DJI Avata has a level 5 max wind resistance and is designed for racers of any level, or at the very least, the racing-curious. If you aren’t quite ready to pull the trigger, you can read our full review here.

These non-DJI drones are on sale for up to 27% off

DJI just ran a Back to School sale on Sept. 11-22 and just released the DJI Mini 4 Pro  (read our full review here), so it’s not surprising that there are just a few DJI deals (excellent deals nonetheless). However, if you are looking for a non-DJI drone or drone accessories you’ll be able to find some deals.  

27% off the Bwine F7GB2 Drones (normally $620, now $450)

The Bwine F7GB2 drone is a 4K drone equipped with a 3-axis mechanical gimbal and 5x digital zoom providing stability to switch between shots of varying distance, direction, and composition. 

The Bwine F7 comes with 2 intelligent batteries with roughly 25 minutes of flight time each and a level 6 wind resistance. While I wouldn’t normally recommend this drone — especially at its full price, it’s not a bad option if you are specifically looking for an alternative drone to DJI that also costs less than $500. 

The Bwine F7 usually costs $619.99 but is currently on sale through Amazon Big Deals Day for $449.99 (saving you $170). Purchase or read more about the Bwine F7 drone here.  

25% off the Ruko F11 Pro Drone (normally $398, now $300)

Another DJI alternative drone with an even more affordable price point is the Ruko F11 Pro drone. The drone shoots in 4K and comes with 2 intelligent batteries with around 30 minutes of flight time each. 

With a low price point of $299, which is 25% off the usual $398 price, this drone is an option for beginners who want to get into flying drones and who, once again, want a non-DJI option. The Ruko F11 drone has intelligent flight features like follow me mode, tap fly, point of interest, and hand gesture shots.

If you purchase during Amazon Big Deals Day, you’ll save $98. Purchase the Ruko F11 Pro on Amazon.  

Huge savings on the best microSD cards

There are many solid options for the right microSD card for you and your drone, which you can find in our guide to the best microSD cards for drones here. Below are two memory card options on sale for Amazon Big Deal Day 2023. 

41% off the SanDisk 512GB Extreme Pro SDXC ($20.99)

The SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC™ UHS-I Cards are intended for extreme durability and designed to function well under challenging environmental conditions. This memory card is ideal for shooting 4k UHD video and sequential burst mode photography. 

On Amazon Big Deal Day, you’ll save $12.50 when you purchase this 128GB memory card for $20.99.

17% off of Lexar Professional 1667x 256GB (2 pack) ($145.99)

You’ll get high-speed performance with UHS-II technology for a read transfer speed of up to 250MB/s. This memory card captures high-quality images and extended lengths of stunning 1080P Full-HD, and 4k video with a DSLR camera, HD camcorder, or 3D camera. 

And with 256GB of memory available, you can shoot longer without changing cards. Plus this deal (where you save $29) comes in a two-pack. Purchase the Lexar Professional memory card for $145.99.   

Other memory card deals (save up to 47% off)

While we generally wouldn’t recommend any of these SD cards for your drone (these memory cards are better for gaming devices) these deals are too good not to share — particularly given the Venn Diagram of gamers and drone pilots is practically a circle:

• 13% off the SanDisk 1TB: The official licensed microSD card for Nintendo Switch systems. Save $20 when you purchase one card for $129.99 
• 47% off the Lexar Play 1TB: Expanded storage for Nintendo Switch and other gaming devices. Save $60.79 when you purchase one card for $69.02

Deals on drones for kids

If purchasing drones for grade school-aged kids, you likely won’t want to fork up a ton of money for their first-ever drone. Below you’ll find some deals on some kid-friendly drones (and one not from Amazon Big Deals Day). 

26% off of the Holy Stone Mini Drone for Kids and Beginners ($36.99)

This drone can perform some pretty basic skills: launch, circle fly, 3D flips, and auto rotation. It comes with a kid-friendly controller and the speed can be changed to fit pilots’ flight proficiency.

You’ll save $13 when you purchase the Holy Stone Mini Drone during the Amazon Big Deal Day. Purchase the kid-friendly drone now for $36.99.  

9% off the HoverAir X1 Self-Flying camera ($399)

This deal is not associated with Amazon Big Deals Day, but one we think drone lovers will enjoy. We recently reviewed the HoverAir X1 (read the full HoverAir X1 review here), and we noted that it is a great beginner drone or perfect for someone looking for more of a flying selfie camera rather than a standard drone. The HoverAir X1 has some stand-out features like its ability to record sound and fly indoors. 

Purchase the HoverAir X1 on sale now for $399, and you’ll save $40.
