DJI's palm-launched Flip drone is back down to $349 for the last day of October Prime Day.
Amazon has the DJI Flip 4K camera drone marked down to $349, a $90 cut from its $439 list price and a match of its lowest price to date, with the October Prime Day sale closing out on October 7. The Flip shoots 4K video at 60 frames per second off a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, and adds subject tracking plus preset Creative Shots like circle and boomerang flight paths. It launches straight from an open palm, stays light in the air, and flies for up to 31 minutes per charge. Other drones got discounted in the same sale, including the DJI Neo at $139 and the pricier DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo at $622.
The timing adds a wrinkle: recently passed legislation restricts new imports of Chinese-made DJI drones into the US, though units already in the country remain legal to buy and sell. That makes existing retail stock, including deals like this one, a shrinking pool rather than a renewable one. If supply does tighten the way the law implies, a $349 DJI Flip today could look like a bargain in six months regardless of what Prime Day discount is attached to it.
Deal cycles like this always carry a while-supplies-last undertone. This one just happens to have a regulatory reason behind it, too.
