Best DJI early Prime Day Deals:
If you’ve had your eye on any DJI gear, now might be the time to finally go for it. With news of a potential U.S. ban on the company’s drones looming and a required national security risk assessment due this December, the future availability of DJI products is uncertain. The company’s already having trouble importing its products, and many models are listed as “Out of stock” on DJI’s own website.
Amazon’s October Prime Day is coming on October 7 — here are 30+ early deals to shop now
Despite the supply chain disruptions, DJI still has a “second Prime Day” page live on Amazon with a handful of deals on all sorts of gear. A quick heads-up, though: While we saw some pretty good deals on DJI drones leading up to the sale, they’re no longer available. (We’re keeping them listed below in case they return.) For now, here are the best active DJI deals you can shop.
Best DJI mic deal
Why we like it
If you’ve ever tried to film a vlog or an interview with your phone, you know how terrible the audio usually sounds. The DJI Mic Mini is the easiest way to fix that. It’s a tiny, ultralight wireless lavalier microphone system that delivers crisp, “detail-rich” audio.
The DJI Mic Mini is a one of the best upgrades for content creators
This kit comes with two transmitters (the mics) and one receiver that can plug directly into your iPhone, Android, or camera. You’ll also get a charging case, which should give you up to 48 hours of use. It also features built-in noise canceling, which is a lifesaver when you’re filming outside.
Best DJI camera deal
Why we like it
The Osmo Action 4 is a direct competitor to GoPro and is built to handle anything you throw at it. It’s fully waterproof and features RockSteady 3.0 stabilization to keep your 4K/120fps footage looking smooth and professional.
What sets it apart is its large 1/1.3-inch sensor, which gives it impressive low-light performance, and its 10-bit and D-Log M color performance for creators who want more flexibility when they’re color grading their footage. It also has a long-lasting battery that can handle up to 160 minutes of recording time, which is a huge plus for a day out on the trail or at the beach.

DJI Mini 4K
Why we like it
The DJI Mini 4K is the drone we recommend for pretty much anyone who’s just starting out. It’s incredibly easy to fly and has a bunch of automated “QuickShots” modes that let you capture cinematic-looking footage with just a few taps. The 4K camera is mounted on a 3-axis gimbal, which means your video is always super smooth, even on windy days.
Mashable Deals
And at under 249 grams, you don’t have to register it with the FAA in the U.S., so you can just take it out of the box and start flying. It’s the simplest way to get into the hobby and see what all the #DroneTok hype is about.
A note on drone deals: We saw several DJI drones on sale leading up to Prime Big Deal Days, but as of the sale’s official start, they’re all back to full price. We’re keeping the deals listed below in case they come back, and we’ll update this story if they do.
