I've been flying drones for years and have encountered some pretty decent models in the process. I curate T3's best beginner drone and best drone guides and have been reporting on these wonderful flying tripods for a while. What I'm trying to say is that I know a thing or two about drones.

I've also been covering big sales events such as Amazon Prime Day for years, paying particular attention to drone deals. Not surprisingly, I'm also covering drone deals this year, and after a thorough search of the retail giant's website, I found the below offers that look pretty good, if I may say so.

There are a few DJI offers below, but if you need more, check out T3's best DJI drone deals roundup. To be fair, the most exciting sales are listed below, but who knows, you might find something else there. Without further ado, let's see those Prime Day drone deals!
