Where are the best drone Black Friday deals for 2015?

Drones are some of the most sought after items for holiday shoppers this year. With its rise in popularity, drones will be one of the hottest-selling items this year.

According to Tech Times, Best Buy, Target and Walmart will have the best drone Black Friday deals.

For beginners, the Sky Viper stunt R/C Drone from Walmart is offered at $25 and is being described as more for kids than enthusiasts.

JCPenney has the Sky King Camera Drone on sale for $49.99 after a mail-in rebate; the item is regularly priced at $150.

At Target, the Parrot Bebop HD Camera Drone will be on sale for $394.99, which is a $105 mark down. According to the report, “a 14-megapixel fisheye camera equipped with 3-axis stabilization, the Parrot Bebop Drone might be the best mid-point between affordability and flyability for enthusiasts just starting out with drones.”

Moving on to the more advanced drones found on Black Friday, a standard DJI Phantom 3 is on sale for $599, a savings of $200. The Professional package with an extra Phantom 3 battery will cost $1,159.99.

Best Buy is also offering $100 off a 3DR Solo Drone, which is regularly $999.99. This comes with a purchase of the $399.99 Solo Gimbal.

Tech Times adds in its analysis of the drone Black Friday deals for 2015 is that a lot of these drones have likely been on the market for a while now. Basically, “consumers are probably buying into last year’s models, and thus, last year’s tech.” In a related report by Geek Snack, BangGood is offering some hard-to-beat sales on drones, quadcopters, and robots. BangGood launched their “massive drone sale” with 50 percent off most products. Helicopters and small drones are going for under $20, but can also find high-end quadcopters for around $200. These drone deals kicked off on November 23.

The Snap Up sale lasts until November 30. Shoppers can monitor the Snap Up page and race to purchase until the discounted item is out of stock. New items will be added every 15 minutes. There’s a signup process and rules to follow, but they’re easy to follow on the registration page. Only payment through PayPal is eligible. If shoppers want to go another route to get discounted drones, quadcopters, and remote controlled goodies, BangGood has more of a selection.

Their Black Friday drones sale boasts hundreds of discounted items and a good portion of them are at affordable prices. Some great deals can be had on all things from helicopters to quadcopters. One of the lowest priced quadcopters offered on the site is $27 and is called the Eachine H8C Mini Headless Mode RC. A discounted hexacopter is available for $18. It’s small enough that it fits in the palm of your hand. Get a ALZRC Devil RC helicopter kit for $270; it comes with a super-fast helicopter with 380mm fiber blades and high speeds. There are also “climbing RC car assemble kits for $66, dancing robot toys for $13, deformation-transformer robots for $45, and piece of laser cut Tiger Moth Biplane at $110.”

With the drone Black Friday deals surging, it aligns perfectly with the CNBC report published last week saying that an estimated 700,000 drones are expected to ship in the United States in 2015. This is a 63 percent increase from 2014, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. In a survey conducted on consumers, about 7 percent planned to purchase a drone as a gift in 2015, a “pretty significant” portion, said Steve Koenig, director of industry analysis at the CEA.
