Cyber Monday drone deals 2022: the Black Friday-beating price cuts take flight
Grab the best Cyber Monday drone deals while they're still live
The Cyber Monday drone deals have now taken off – and some of the price cuts even manage to trump the discounts we've seen over the recent sales weekend.
For aerial photography fans, the headline of this year's Cyber Monday deals is that the DJI Mini 2's Fly More bundle has just dropped to its lowest-ever price thanks to a 15% off discount. That model remains our top pick for the title of best beginner drone, so it'll be a popular deal that won't be around for long.
If you're looking for a more powerful drone, though, then some of Black Friday's excellent deals on Autel's range are still live, too. These include a 30% off discount on the Autel Evo Nano+ Standard that takes it down to $659 (was $949) at Adorama, while the larger Autel Evo Lite+ is now down to $1,079 (was $1,549) also at Adorama.
With Skydio's Cyber Monday sales also taking the baton from its Black Friday discounts for one more day, there are lots of great-value flying cameras on offer today. We've gathered them all together in this regularly-updated guide to help you find the best drone deal for you.
