This year, we’re seeing tons of early discounts across almost every product category — including drones, a hot-ticket item for the holidays. As of Nov. 23, you can get up to 52% off drones at select retailers, including DJI, Amazon, and Best Buy.

Drones are usually pretty expensive, so Black Friday is the time to snag one if you want to try aerial photography or just fly something fun around your backyard. They also make great gifts (I bought one for my dad not too long ago for his birthday, and he loves it!).

Here are the best early Black Friday drone deals we could find:

Best drone deal overall

$299 Save $60

Why we like it

The DJI Mini 4K is on sale for $239, down from $299 on the DJI website — that’s $60 off. It’s a great entry-level drone for beginners that won’t cost a fortune.

With a CMOS camera, this little drone can shoot 4K video or take photographer-level shots with its QuickShots and Panoramas settings. Its max flight time is 31 minutes, plenty of time to get the shots you want. Plus, it’s super light (under 249 grams), so you don’t have to register it with the FAA. (You can literally hold it in the palm of your hand.)

It also supports 38kph (Level 5) wind resistance and 4000m max takeoff altitude, so you can film or fly in almost any condition.

Why we like it

If you’re thinking about gifting your kids their first drone, getting one of those weird, off-brand ones from Amazon may be tempting. But the Holy Stone Drone is currently $39.99, down from $59.99 — a solid choice that will actually hold up.

Holy Stone is one of the best names in the drone industry, and with the Holy Stone HS420 Mini Drone, you get a lot of impressive features like “toss to launch” and “one-key start” for easy flying. This drone can also perform stunts and is outfitted with altitude hold and headless mode for beginner pilots.

It also has two batteries, so your kids can fly twice as long.
