Best DJI Drone Deals: Price Floors & When to Buy
DJI deal tracking from our archive: record-low prices per model with dates, the sale patterns that repeat every year, and when waiting pays off.
Last updated August 15, 2026 · Kept current by the DroneXL newsroom
DJI rarely discounts loudly, but it discounts predictably. This page tracks the record lows we have documented per model and the calendar patterns behind them.
Record lows we have documented
The Mini 5 Pro hit $683 standalone in July 2026, its lowest since March. The Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo fell to $3,500 in August 2026, $100 above its June low. The Osmo Pocket 3 dropped to $378 after the Pocket 4 arrived. On the rival side we track for context, the Antigravity A1 hit $1,279 in its spring sale.
When does DJI discount?
Prices move faster than this page does, so treat every figure above as a documented historical low rather than today’s price — the current listings are the only live answer.
Our deal archive repeats four patterns: Black Friday week (the 2025 archive logged Mini 4K, Mini 3, Flip, and beginner-bundle lows), Prime Day in mid-summer, spring sales in March and April, and quiet floor-drops on models a generation old. Deal posts land in the DJI news feed as they happen.
Should you wait for a sale?
History says patience pays when a model has held list for months: the Mini 5 Pro held $759 for eight months before its first meaningful cut. It does not pay when stock warnings appear on listings, which our deal posts flag when we see them.
