Light and compact drones don't get much better than the DJI Mini 3, which has recently had its price slashed at Amazon down to $499 (was $719). I'll do the math for you: that's a huge $220 off the retail price.
This is actually for the combo package, so you get even more for your money. The bundle includes a DJI Remote Controller for advanced flying maneuvers and three batteries for 114 minutes of flight time. You'll look like the consummate professional even though you've paid no more than $500 for the privilege.
We're also big fans of the true vertical shooting for social media optimized shots. That means no more faffing around with crops in post. The Mini 3 will handle everything for you in-camera. This really is a fantastic drone package for any hobbyist or beginner professional – now back to its record-low price.
Today's best DJI drone deal
In our DJI Mini 3 review, we rated this drone four out of five stars and praised its affordability, great image quality, and small form factor. In terms of image output, the Mini 3 can capture 12 MP photos (RAW and JPEG) and 4K video at 30fps. That's enough resolution to cover most purposes, especially considering the more budget nature of this drone.
It's a great all-rounder that does all the basics well. It's not as fully featured as some drones, though, as evidenced by the lack of collision avoidance. But if you plan on flying in open spaces most of the time, you won't miss it at all, especially if you take advantage of QuickShot's automated flight patterns.
