Black Friday is one of the best times to buy a drone as you’ll typically pay less than any other time of the year.
The day itself is on 24 November 2023, but retailers seem to consider the whole month to be ‘Black Friday’.
However, if you have your heart set on buying a drone, there are other times of the year when you can pick up discounts so keep an eye on the retailers we list below, as well as having a look on Amazon when it runs its Prime Day event.
If you’re not sure whether a particular drone is the right choice or not, it’s worth reading our drone buyer’s guide to find out what you should look for.
And quite aside from specifications such as flying time and video resolution, you should be aware of the laws about flying drones in your country. Because of potential danger and also privacy issues surrounding the on-board cameras, there are strict rules governing where and how you fly a drone.
Size and weight plays a part, too, with sub-250g drones generally offering the biggest freedom in where you can fly, and not requiring expensive pilot training courses. In the UK you still need to register even these lightweight drones, for example.
We round up all sorts of tech products in our Black Friday tech deals roundup.
