Last chance? DJI Mini 4K drone deal drops price to $249

In what feels like a last call for DJI fans, Amazon Prime members can snag the DJI Mini 4K drone for just $249, down from the usual $299 MSRP. This exclusive deal surfaces at a time when DJI drones are rapidly vanishing from the US market, making this bargain feel downright urgent.

Despite no formal ban yet, DJI’s fate in America is hanging by a thread. A looming December 2025 deadline requires a national security agency to approve DJI models — otherwise, all new imports will be banned. Customs officials are already turning away some DJI shipments at the border, and shelves are running empty at several retailers.

A recent executive order from the White House further pushes American authorities to favor domestic drones, effectively sidelining Chinese manufacturers — DJI included. With demand surging and supply drying up, this Prime-only price drop feels like the calm before the drone storm.
