It is finally Black Friday, and you probably have a comprehensive list of deals to buy with you already. If there is still room in it, however, and you do have the money to spend, we just might have the very thing that you need: top Black Friday deals for drones.
Chinese company DJI is familiar to drone enthusiasts for the simple fact that it is considered one of the top drone manufacturers. Its DJI Phantom line, for instance, is a best seller. So for Thanksgiving, Best Buy is selling the Phantom 3 Professional drone for $1,160. That is a steal, as it currently retails for $1,260. The drone, which is one of the easiest devices to operate, will also come with a free battery. For those in the market for slightly cheaper devices, Best Buy is also offering the DJI Phantom 3 for $600, down from its $800 price tag.

The Parrot Bebop drone is next in the list. It is available at Target, which slashed a massive $150 to its $500 retail price. It is one of the most compact drones available and is capable of taking 1080P videos and up to 14-megapixel photos. Watch the drone in action below:
For users who are looking to buy drones for the first time, the Yuneec Typhoon 4K Quadcopter drone would be an excellent candidate. Best Buy is giving out a $200 discount to its $1,200 price. While the drone is quite large and slow, it is a great device to learn how to fly a drone for the first time.
Rounding up our best drone deals this Black Friday is the 3DR Solo Drone. Best Buy will offer customers a $100 discount if it is bought with Gimbal. It retails for $1,400 and offers more sophisticated tools that provides a higher level of automation.
Before buying and flying a drone, it is important to learn the ropes first preferably with a cheap drone without a camera. "You hit hard with a big drone and you immediately have to pay $600 for a new high-def camera," Jim Bowers, a drone expert, told The Sacramento Bee.
